Where was the story? - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews

My most favorite book is now the worst movie of the series. The book was too long to be made into a 2.5 hour movie. Too many important events were left out. I would rather sit through a 10 hour movie, or four movies in installments than watch a poor, abbreviated product, as this movie is. The teenagers, who spoke distinctly as children, were impossible to understand in this movie. I suppose enunciating and speaking intelligibly isn't cool. The director shouldn't have let them get away with it. The movie relied too much on special effects. I got sick of seeing all the supernatural beings zip around, and Harry lying on the ground squinting his eyes and gritting his teeth in mental anguish. Where was the story? I certainly hope they do a better job on the next one.
