My unspoilery review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a very simple one:
That movie was basically carved out of one GIANT BLOCK OF AWESOME.
There was quite literally NOTHING about the movie that I didn't like. The performances were stellar. Gary Oldman was actually hot (something I've never thought before). Evanna Lynch, the girl who never acted before and suddenly landed the part of Luna, is frighteningly perfect, as is Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix. Lucius Malfoy is deliciously evil again; as I said to Kevin, "Jason Isaacs was terrific, but that's like saying water is wet." Imelda Staunton is a wonderful Umbridge, who is quite possibly my least favorite character in all of literature (in the sense that I love to hate her). There is blatant Ron/Hermioneness, which made me squee. The effects are fantastic.
Also, I seem to have a small girl-crush on Tonks. If that is weird for you to read, believe me, it's a lot weirder for me to say, as it's an entirely new phenomenon. But she is all kinds of brilliant.
I do have some spoiler-laden thoughts, but those will go under the judicious cut. And to further assist those of you who want to be kept spoiler-free, but would like to read any comments left on my post, I will turn the font under the cut white. (That at least will help you if the entry shows up in my journal style; if they show up in your own style and it's a different color, it's not going to do you much good.) ( Look! Cut! See? Cut! )
So. Yes. Wanna see it again. It's the best one yet.
