Perhaps what you didn't like about the movie wasn't the direction but
the writing. Yates's Phoenix will be the only one of the (now 8)
movies where the screenplay was not written by Mike Newell, it was
written by Michael Goldenberg.

Potter movies cost about a million dollars a minute to make, and the
shorter a movie is the more often it can play each day. The thing I
don't understand is why modern movies have credits that go on and on
and on, long after every human being has left the theater and they are
halfway home the credits are still rolling. That wasn't always true,
until the mid 60's or so closing movie credits only took a few seconds.
