this is a great movie

Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2002)

I really enjoyed this movie. It's not as good as the book, but I think it is much better than the Philosopher Stone. It has more funny moments than the first, and it is much scarier. The special effects are absolutely brilliant. Specially the spider-scene and the scene in the chamber were absolutely stunning. I also loved the scenes with Gilderoy Lockhart. He is my most favourite character of the book and Kenneth Branagh does a wonderful job playing him. Also the acting of our three young hero's has improved. They are all three very good but I specially loved Rupert Grint during the "Spider-scene". He is really good in looking en sounding very scared. I didn't like the fact that Alan Rickman hasn't so much to do in this movie. I really enjoy his perfect evilness when he playes Snape. I did love the guy that played Lucius Malvoy (I can't remember his name) and I also loved Dobby. Also the rest of the cast is perfect. I felt really sorry when I heard of the death of Richard Harris. I think it's going to be quite diffecult to cast a prefect Dumbledore (like he was) for the next movies. Also the fact that director Chris Colombus is stepping out, makes me wonder how the "Prisoner of Azkaban" is going to be. I hope it's going to be just as good, or better (for I think Prisoner of Azkaban" is the best book of the four) than this one. At last I really like to note than some scenes (especially the spider-scene and the scene in the chamber) are just too scary for small children.
