Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (IMAX 3D version)

Summary: The fifth installment of the crazily popular Harry Potter series.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Review:
Fantastic movie. They did a great job with the book to movie translation. Small things were excluded of course and one or two things were changed for the movie, but overall, great job. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't go into the plot. But, you have to realize that this movie is still just setting up for the seventh and final book/movie. Nonetheless, this movie has a well established plot and finishes with the audience satisfied. The whole movie you feel the kids pains and are rooting for them. There are even scenes where you want to jump up and shout "Yes!". The 3D part of the movie was only in the last 20 minutes during the climax of the movie. It was really well done and was not too distracting from the action.

Oh, and my favorite character from this movie was Luna Lovegood. The actress was fantastic and played her perfectly.

Glad to hear a good review. My cousin was disappointed and his bummedness made me prematurely bummed. Regardless, I still can't wait to see it!!
