Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"The fifth installment of the boy-wizard franchise has a potent "angry young man" feel to it. It helps that the baddie authority figure is played by a pertly menacing Imelda Staunton (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"By focussing the story on Harry and his exploits, Yates dispenses with many of the novel's subplots and is able to push the story forward, ominously foreshadowing the dark times to come" 

"This is the bleakest Potter installment to date, and under David Yates's choppy direction, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Brendan Gleeson, and David Thewlis have little more than walk-ons" 

"Performances are more mature, the soundtrack -by Nicholas Hooper- less grandiose, and Yates executes some thrilling set-pieces (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Some characters admittedly get the short end of the stick, and certain book subplots don't translate as well to screen, but this is a movie that leans into the fantastical to great effect and should be commended for what it accomplishes (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
