((: SO HAPPY!
i finally watched Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix yesterday at AMK's new cathay cineplex.
x) well, the show's quite nice, its like Harry Potter shows have been given an entire new feel towards it. its not like the previous where it was still quite 'childish' because the cast and all were still rather young. Now, with all of the cast grown up, the entire show is geared towards the older targeted audience. It is darker and gloomier as compared to the rest. But i must say, the changes were good as it totally suiuts the mood of the story.
Apart from that, i totally loved the props and setting layout of the movie. Brings out the descriptions from the book close to flawless in a sense. Transitions and visual effects of the movie is also recommendable as it really keeps you glued to the seat throughout the whole show.
But one thing, being adapted from a long book, and they manage to squeeze it in 138 minutes, it somehow appears that it ended nearly as fast as it started. Those that worry the show might be too crammed up with everything happening at the same time, fear not. because so long as you do not compare it with the book, the movie delievers all the important parts of the show, without overloading you with with too much at one time. Even though they did not manage to shoot everything from the book into screen, at least they remembered some funny moments that adds the little comedy to the show.
So personally i feel that it is a show worth watching. Just remember to look at it as Harry Potter the Movie. not the book, and you will enjoy it like how i did. (:
Yupyups, that was just a short review about the new long awaited block-buster. haha. now i simply cant wait for the last of the Harry Potter book to come out. and now AMK hub is rather fully open with most of the shops in business already. its quite nice, considering the fact that it is after all a heartland mall. the new cathay cineplex is also quite comfy. with the big screen and big arm chairs with plenty of leg room. hahas.
i'm so happy that i manage to catch the show, somemore not alone but with the special one. its a day well spent overall.
CHEERS(:
