Movie Reviews of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Movie Review: Not quite the book
Summary: 4 Stars

Like the widescreen but still not the same as the book. Still one of my most favorite movies series of all time. Cant wait for more.

Movie Review: Enjoyable entertainment for all ages
Summary: 4 Stars

If you enjoy fantasy , are 'young at heart' or just want a fun evening's entertainment, then the Harry Potter series of videos is just right. Without spending a lot of time on the literary merits, these are stories of good versus bad and one can watch a Harry Potter movie on different levels. From the simple to the complex and the story, actors and scenery are fun and interesting.

Looking forward to the next in the series!

Movie Review: Excellent edition.
Summary: 5 Stars

I had previously only watched the standard DVD edition of the film, which was a really bad transfer, very noisy. This transfer, however, is stunningly crisp. Blu-ray also offers a much better interaction with the menus. Even if you already own a copy of this movie on DVD, I would suggest you get the Blu-ray version. You won't be disappointed.

Movie Review: Not the best Potter flick
Summary: 3 Stars

After the last performance I couldn't wait to see this. Unfortunately this is the worst DVD of the series. Everyone said it was darker. I thought they meant more "evil" or more "adult" not in the literal sense that there wasn't any color in the footage. What did they turn the lights out to cut budgeting cost? I had to readjust the settings on my plasma just to see what is going on. And most of the lines were not even audible enough to hear what was going on. I had to turn subtitles on. If you plan on watching this seriously put subtitles on and see just how much you miss if they weren't on. If you already watched it and can bear a 2nd viewing try it with subtitles on.

Good points were seeing A giant and some Centaurus. A great scene with spectacular fireworks and another with a visually amazing spell casting magic duel. (hmm both color scenes?)

Aside from the visual and audible disappointments this DVD was slow moving and the story line of "the ministry denying acknowledging the return of "He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named!" was boring. Also since it took so long for this sequel to get to theaters (probably because everyone couldn't see what they were doing during the recording of the film in the dark) delaying the DVD release I forgot what was going on since the last DVD. I don't go to theaters to watch the movies so from the point of the last DVD to this DVD release my memory has faded.
