Review of yesterday's post

Dragon Slayer was kind enough to remind me that I didn't write my opinionated review of yesterday's Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix trailer. So here is what I have to say about it:

I am glad that there is a large emphasis on action in this film. The other films have lacked great action scenes. The cinematography looks to be very Batmanish... it looks to be very dark in most scenes as the setting is growing more scary as Lord Voldemort is on the rise. The movie begins to lose its childish tint that it had in the first 4 movies. Harry and the others are not kids anymore, but decide to rise up and establish Dumbledore's Army. Harry Potter is getting older and seems that by the time the last movie is set to come out (2010) he should be well past the age of wizarding school.

Mostly unknown David Yates comes on board for the next 2 movies as the 4th director of the Harry Potter movies. It looks like he does a pretty good job with the acting and the sets from what I can tell so far. I am excited to see. The soundtrack should be good as well, but is also a stray away from the usual John Williams and Patrick Doyle, bringing in the unheard of Nicholas Hooper who has worked with Yates in the past. The soundtrack has done a great job of getting me excited for the upcoming movie. I love the clarity of the high definition trailers, so be sure to check those out with the link provided at the bottom (of the previous post).
