HP: Order of the Pheonix (movie)

Ok, there are multiple topics about the last book, but this topic is about the recent movie, so sorry if you're sick of all the Harry Potter threads, but I didn't want to derail the topics about the last book.

So. I went and saw the midnight showing last night (no I did not dress up) and overall the experience was pretty damn good. Without giving spoilers, I really liked what the director did with this movie. The atmosphere was closer to that of the book and I really liked the new cast members (Umbridge and Luna). Though Umbridge doesn't really fit the physical character description, she did an excellent job in the part and her office was completely hideous with its meowing kitten plates. Luna was just her spacey self. Helena Bonham Carter was also an excellent casting choice. The only major downside, I thought, was that is was a bit rushed. For being the longest book, the movie was only 2.5 hours long.

Anyone else seen it yet? Thoughts?

I'm not seeing it until tomorrow, so I think for the time being this should be hijacked into a thread about Harry Potter related sexual inuendos and pickup lines.

I'm seeing it next week maybe?

The only credible film critics I am aware of gave it 3.5 stars which means it's pretty good but they said the same thing as Linds; a little bit rushed. I was really hoping they were going to get a different actress for Umbridge but, as I found out when Philosopher's Stone was on the telley earlier, the actress I would havecast is already Madam Sprout. Which would make it difficult for her to play a different character. Ahh well...

Thank you.
I am waiting until the 20th to go see it before I pick up the book...but the trailers do get me rather excited to go see it. I think this new director did a really nice job with it, compared to some of the previous films... I don't think it could be as bad as what Cuaron did with PoA (waaaaay to dark). I had some friends who went and saw it last night, and one of them who reviewed on Facebook/Flickster said it was very good.

Eris:
I am seeing it tonight after work. I'm looking forward to seeing Helena Bonham Carter, but apparently she's not in it for very long. Which is disappointing as what I've seen of her looks pretty good.
