Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

[Lazybones]

So I went to see Harry Potter on the weekend. After paying full price for a matin?e time slot (what happened to those being cheaper?), I sat through what I expected to be a decent movie.

I left somewhat disappointed, the movie spends a great deal of time on one idea and then leads to what I consider a far too short climax. The whole movie felt like filler to me.

Is it comparable to the book? How does it fare against the last one?

I haven't read the books, I am just reviewing it as a movie. All I can say is that I enjoyed the other movies far better.

Raeofsunshine thinks that is suffers from the fact the later books are so much longer, and more is lost when they are edited down to a movie.
