today we went to watch harry potter movie 5 - order of the phoenix! thanks to kb for treating us! rich person eh ^^
anw the movie wasn't too bad, u won't exactly feel disappointed by it la, just that it was a bit screwed since it is much shorter than the book. but this happens for all the harry potter movies so yah can't be helped. plus cho chang so poor thing! she's like got so little screentime? the longest screentime was like the kissing part -.-" poor thing la
then luna lovegood so much screentime! she is like always talking to harry potter in her so called dreamy way that sounded kindof like a bimbo, what with her blonde hair and blue eyes. i expected her to be like violet in charlie and choc factory - short hair, looks weird and all, but in the end she so pretty -.-" if you nv read the book you would have thought that luna and harry will end up together. (they are like together talking even more than hermione or ron talks to harry)
yah and poor hermione and ron has pathetically little role in the movie too... a lot of emphasis on harry. yeah it's how it's supposed to be oso, bcos this movie is about him battling with his emotions and all. however they could have built more on that, by letting harry voice out his thoughts and stuff instead of just looking angry or frustrated. doesn't illustrate much to those who nv read the book. esp he should have voiced out his anger and fears about dumbledore more, and not just looking frustrated-ly at him.
dumbledore should have a bit more role too. umbridge is quite good though. esp the cough and eh hem! HAHA she's positively irritating and hatable! they should have emphasised more on the detention too, as well as the twins' grand farewell. no swamp whatsoever T.T
andddd SNAPE! WE <3 SNAPE! hahaha his younger self looks kindof quite cute too! why everyone wan to ostracise him! he's niceeeeeeeee. bahhh and i just realised that harry nv wondered about his father bullying snape. as in in the book he was very shocked that snape was right all along about how horrid his father was, and he wanted to find out whether it is true and why isit his noble and great father actually did such horrible things etc. and oso his frustration at sirius for seeing him as his father all the time. he should have expressed these key major emotions and concerns!
yepp other than that really not too bad lah. although the whole thing quite gloomy and all, with gloomy black and grey and brown colours 90% of the time. the nice pink frills and cats of umbridge were in fact nice for a change. yeah the end part was lame, im sure ppl who nv read the book would be totally confused by what's going on. esp since they skipped loads and they just wanted to show the main stuff and not elaborate and explain them for too long. and they skipped loads of the scenes and places! and ppl too! they so cheapskate! it's alrd earning so much they should have a higher budget to include the characters and places mah! i was looking forward to seeing ron grabbed by brains T.T and the baby head death-eater...
bellatrix isn't as beautiful as i thought she should be, but i guess it's to show her hysterics and stuff from azkaban lah. neville's parents look kindof weird and not authentic english or something, and i thought sirius was supposed to be stupefied and not adava kedavra-ed by her b4 he fell through the arch! oh well crapp lah. i guess it's to make things simpler for ppl, that he is killed and his body is just gone in the arch. not that he wasn't killed and yet he's not coming back. haha
yepp not too bad, you ppl should go watch if you haven't. im just trying to let the harry potter ppl earn more money so that they have a higher budget for the 6th movie and portray all the necessary and major stuff instead of being cheapskate. haha and also to power the economy!
