Instead of doing things I really ought to be doing...My response to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Warning: Crappy art done with MS Paint and Mouse. Highly biased.
I know Harry's going through a lot--But I still don't change my sentiments: Stop being such a bitch, Potter. Don't shout at Ron. Don't go "You don't understand!" at Hermione. I was itching to throw my popcorn at the screen. Thank goodness he sorted things out. I wince to imagine how Ginny and him are going to get it on in the next movie. He barely noticed her existence in this one.
My favourite scene in the entire movie :D Ron snickered while Snape was being interrogated by Umbridge and got whacked on the head. I do love my movie-only Ron abuse [Like how he was forced to dance with McGonagall in GOF]. But why did he have so little screen time? I want to see him beating Harry's ass at Wizards' Chess. Where's my "Weasley is our King" Quidditch drama D:< Also, no mention of the Prefect thing? What are you doing, script writers.
The Twins were the next best thing about the entire movie. The movie should have spent less time on smashing things and increased the red-headed action because Weasley = Win. Not only were the Weasleys short-changed of screen time, Draco Malfoy had like, one line. While I'm not very fond of him, I think there's a problem here.
Why did they shorten Snape's flashback like that? You'd think with all the stuff they cut, they could at least have let us have a good look at young!Lupin Marauders T____T I can't remember a single face and all I saw of James were the nerdy specs. And young!Snape had girly emo hair and looked like some sensitive poet type--> WRONG. I want to see my young!Lupin :( Esp since I don't acknowledge Thewlis as the real Lupin. Nice guy, but seriously, he's not my idea of Lupin AT ALL.
BTW, Sirius didn't die. He turned into Dracula. [Seriously, that's got to be that lamest death ever! Totally "Ha! I'm kicking ass--Oops. Dead."]
After watching Bram Stroker's Dracula, I can't see Gray Oldman without thinking of Vampire Lords. Anyway, Sirius as a vampire could totally work. Lupin and him would make such a brilliant pair of assorted monsters. All we need would be for James to come back as a zombie.
Not looking forward to the next movie. Or the next book. Highly unlikely that Harry would die, Ron would be saviour of the world and Fred&George would become the next presidents of America. Sigh.
Ok, back to work.
