Better than the first

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2003)

This sequel is more tightly edited than the first Potter film and lacks the gee-whiz amazement with itself of the first film. Lots of ironic humor with Kevin Branagh's character and good character development of Potter, Weasley, Kate, and Lucius make CHAMBER a treat. I loved the ghosts, monsters, and violence and I would rate this an R for scariness, not a PG-13.
