Kids get it.

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2002)

Simply put, Sorcerors Stone was a much more moral movie, yes, but the beauty of Chamber of Secrets is that it tackles issues rather than morals. It does this in a way that you have to be paying attention to realize. The strain between the Pure Bloods and the Muggle born children, that's as close as you can get to discussing racism without shoving it down a child's throat. More people should think to utilize a child's perception of good and evil in order to show how the world can (but does not have to be) a bad place. The Chamber of Secrets can be at times, violent, and I certainly would have had nightmares if I was say, five to ten years old, but truthfully, the movies I remember most fondly as a child scared me, such as The Dark Crystal, or The Goonies.
In general though, it was fun to watch, the acting was very good, and I think it was a very good movie, despite the frightening aspects of it. I wish they made more movies like this.
