Mediocre Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

To put it simply, this is a mediocre film that makes me want to say something and can't stop talking. It makes me think about something at the risk of being criticized by the leader during work hours, but I don't know what good film to write.
First of all, I have to declare that I went to see it entirely because I had a free ticket in my hand, and even if it was a super bad movie, I didn't have to worry about my pockets. In this way, I can make an objective evaluation of this movie with a normal mind, without any personal prejudice caused by loss of interests, otherwise I will be like many friends and replace this with a sentence "TMD fooled" article.

I have always valued the plot and narrative skills the most. This is the foundation of a film's success. Everything else is just an appearance. The skin doesn't exist, and the hair will be attached... Uh, shit, this is too formal to say, and this one The tone of the article is totally out of tune, and again. I've always valued two aspects of a film the most: how your story is and how you tell it. So let's take a look at what Harry Potter looks like from several sides.

Regarding the

first film of the Philosopher's Stone, I even bought the original copy. I can imagine how much courage I needed to do before I didn't have a Sam's Club membership card. Based on the maximum faithfulness to the original work, director Columbus perfectly showed everyone a wonderful magical world, so that "Sorcerer's Stone" earned $976 million at the global box office, ranking third in the global box office.

Of course, the reason for his success is not because his name is very similar to the fool who erected eggs in public, but the "Philosopher's Stone" only has 191 pages (this data is subject to the people's version, other versions have not been tested). It is very comfortable for the director to adapt a film with such a short story. He will take care of most of the plots in the book and present an independent and complete story. At the same time, I have to admit that this devil can tell the story well. He has explained everything that needs to be explained clearly, and the audience will not be dazzled. Will not look confused. It's not easy - Chinese (including Hong Kong) movies have had a problem in recent years, as long as the funds are sufficient, the director will not tell the story immediately, so I have to settle for a too low standard. .

When 191 pages are upgraded to 575 pages, it is not so easy to complete the story. I won't say anything about the screenwriter's cuts, the editing of the movie is really unbearable; I can see that the director really cut a lot of clips, maybe the director thinks that everyone knows the characters and character settings very well , that's why it seems to be so "disrespecting people". But the actual effect reflects that it is very bad.

About the starring

book Harry has lived in the "magic" world for five years, and it can be said that he is quite familiar with this magical world. And Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, still looks like a "newcomer". The blunt lines, blunt actions and blunt laughs really make me unable to say where I have improved, and Harry's expression in the film can be described as Not rich, indifferent, disappointed, smirk, anger, pain, smile... But from a personal point of view, the expression is still a bit fake, especially when the camera is aimed at Harry's face, and then Harry starts to smile, Why do I always feel that the corners of his mouth twitched a few times before they curled up? For example, during the hearing, he could be said to be expressionless and calm, which was not like a sixteen-year-old boy, even if he It's Harry Potter. It can be said that the non-stop sequel for six years has allowed them to spend most of their time filming, and many big British movie stars will be invited during this period. But why haven't Daniel's acting skills improved? By

contrast, Emma "Watson and Rupert" Grint, who play Hermione and Ron, are mediocre in their supporting roles, although they have fewer roles in this film.
