Better than the 1st one

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2002)

I think that chamber of secrets is better than the first Harry Potter movie. It's a lot more "scary" scenes in it, which makes it less suitable for children, but on the other hand it now reaches a larger group of audience. You shall not forget that it's script is taken from the book, so maybe it comes naturally that it is more violent.
Also not to be forgotten, is that for you over 15 (~) - it is originally written for children, so take it for what it is - a story for children. If you want to be critical - try seeing it from a child's eyes!

7/10 - very good for being a film for children, as I'm not still one myself.
