Talk, Talking A Lot, But It's Still Talk

So, Order of the Phoenix.  In my opinion, it was the best of the movies so far - I really enjoyed it.  Luna and Umbridge were perfectly cast, and I about died every time Snape opened his mouth.  I liked that the bond between Harry and Sirius was finally acknowledged in this movie - I didn't feel it as much in PoA and GoF.  Hagrid, McGonagall, and Trelawney were all amazing, even though they weren't onscreen much, and Grawp was surprisingly cute.  Ron toughened up, too, as did Neville, and the Weasley's great escape was extremely entertaining.

Oh, and of course, the duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore was incredible.  It was all anyone was talking about as they left the theater.  

Obviously I have complaints - I thought an inordinate number of Harry's lines were almost unbearably corny, for one thing, and the movie should have been at least half an hour longer.  More time should've been spent on the scene in Dumbledore's office in the end, and the beginning was pretty rushed.  Ron and Hermione weren't in it as much as they've been in the past, which was kind of disappointing.  And I've never really liked the way Cho is portrayed, but then I'm not overly fond of her character, either.

All in all, though, I think the movie was really well done.  Good enough for me to have seen it three times, anyway (I'm such a freak).  Incidentally, you start noticing things when you've seen a movie three times - like the fact that Harry has a lot of sweatshirts that look exactly the same, except for the colors.  Must be the Nargles.

Maybe I should take a break.
