So I saw the movie (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). It was a very good movie.
It was jam-packed with great action.
The special effects were brilliant, vibrant, and awe inspiring.

I would have even been happy paying the $8.75 for a regular admission.
I will buy the move and add it to my collection and I will happily pay $20 for the DVD.

On the down side:
There was little chance for character development. Several new characters were introduced and we didn't get to know them as well as we have int he past. I think we know Moaning Myrtle better than we know Luna Lovegood.
There were huge holes in the presented plot. For anyone who has read the book, this is a non-issue, but I can't imagine seeing the movie and following it, without that background.
There was little chance for the beloved character interactions. The magical world of witches and wizards was mute (or muted) in this film, as was a lot of the humor.

That may not actually be a down side as the film was darker and humor would dispel (or is that dispell?) that effect.

All in all it was a Good movie (****)
