Just because we know you want them, we have been alerted to even more screening reports from the top-secret Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix screenings that took place early March.
Screening Report: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Even as an unfinished project, the latest two screening reports to be sent over to AICN claim that OotP is best Potter installment yet.
I have to say, this series keeps getting better and better with every installment! How many times do we see other big franchises (Stars Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.) start off with a bang and then blow out like a candle? It's nice to see the opposite happen with Potter: it started off slow and tiny with Chris Columbus's so-so kiddy friendly approach and has really exploded into a series that I think will end up being far more prolific than all of those combined. Yeah that's right, I went there. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this new one makes Lord of the Rings look like a fucking cartoon. And it was only a rough cut!
The cinematography was PHENOMENAL. Very classy old school approach that really takes advantage of widescreen. Think Dr Zivango, Lawrence of Arabia, etc. Very epic feel. It starts off with Harry and his stupid fat ghetto-wannabe cousin getting chased by Dementors (creepier and more decaying than the ones in Prisoner of Azkaban) who show up with a huge rainstorm out of nowhere. This was pretty cool and it was nice to finally see a Potter movie start off with an intense action sequence.
Like what you hear? Well, there is a lot more of this review plus an entire second at AICN.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opens
to theatres on July 13th, 2007.
