Oh well, I guess I'm too old for this

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2003)

I did sort of like the book, but remember that Professor Gilderoy Lockhart's character had some funny class scenes which were not in the movie. Slightly better than the first one, although Daniel Radcliffe still needs some serious acting lessons as he yet again manages to ruin too many scenes with his slow and cautious babbling. Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley manages to give the funniest scene in the entire movie as he manages to put a very unpleasant spell on himself. Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy looks hellishly evil and I look forward to seeing him in the fourth movie and Emma Watson is much less annoying in this second installment. But the movie is (again) overly long for what it has to tell, which is stupid since the main public are the children. Some nice scary spider moments, though. A movie where nothing is a coincidence, where everything you hear and learn will happen and where Harry Potter once again manages to look like a conceited and annoying knowitall. Should have seen in ten years ago. Wishful thinking.6/10
