The lamest movie so far this year!

Rating: 3/10 (16 November 2002)

Unlike the first film, I saw this movie in the theatre and I wanted my seven dollars back at the end. I haven't read the books so I really can't say that the movies are lame because of it. I found the movies lame because it was too neatly pressed and cleaned up for this sort of film regardless that they were based on previously written material. According to what I have heard, the books are loaded with great dialogue and sarcastic and witty commentary. Both films were devoid of those aspects. Some found the films funny and I didn't find them such. The plot could have been written too fit an hour and a half as opposed to one and a half days. The subject of witchcraft is not one that entices me either. The few redeeming qualities of this movie are the performance of Jason Isaacs and the darkness and dankness of the Hogwarts setting (the art direction was brilliant). Overall, this is the longest and lamest film of 2002. I give this dumb film 3 out of 10!
Here ends my rant!
