Chamber of Secrets is an improvement over Sorcerer's Stone

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2015)

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS is the second film in the HARRY POTTER film series.
The story follows Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts as the Heir of Salazar Slytherin opens the Chamber of Secrets, unleashing an evil monster that petrifies the school's pupils.
How many sequels can be considered better than the original film? There are many, are they? And guess what? HARRY POTTER and the CHAMBER OF SECRETS has made it on to that list.
The story follows the book nicely, but with a few things taken out of the movie for reasons. The film is directed by Chris Columbus, which this film would be his second and final time directing a Harry Potter film as he would produce "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", released in 2004.
The music by John Williams is amazingly well-done and he is a great composer. He was also composing CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, MINORITY REPORT and STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES at the time, so he used themes from the first film.
The visual effects and production values are flawless. The acting is once again amazing. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright and Rupert Grint and Tom Felton all return from the previous film. The rest of the cast returns as well and this would be Richard Harris' final film appearance as he died after the film's release.
The action is amazing. The dialogue is amazing and spectacular and Steve Kloves did a great job writing this into a suitable film.
Overall, HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS is good and better than SORCERER'S STONE and more. This film is just amazingly well-done and Warner Bros. managed to create a sequel to the first Harry Potter and that is one hell of an accomplishment for 2002.
9/10.
