Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this movie, despite a few minor flaws. The movie stuck fairly close to the book, making minor changes without altering the main events. I enjoyed the book, too (see my review on my book blog), so I'm an easy target for the filmmakers. I would have liked to have seen more of McGonagall vs. Umbridge, more of Ron cracking wise, and more of the Weasley twins wreaking havoc at the end. The flaws were: 1. Harry really doesn't look like he's carrying Dudley at the very beginning. 2. This may sound odd, but there is a very pronounced blink in one scene that just served to distract me. Pretty minor stuff. All in all, a rewarding theater experience.
