The best film of the year!...but MORE RICKMAN P L E A S E!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2002)

(A few spoilers.)
Now, this is what Chris Columbus has said: 'The first film I wanted more Alan Rickman...the second film I wanted more Alan Rickman'...soooo, what's the problem then??? Just give the man more screen time for God sake, 'cause he's incredibly talented (the best actor on earth in fact) and he's just BRILLIANT as Snape!!!!!
Anyway, I LOVED this film!!! I loved the first one as well, but this film was even better. (I'm 20 by the way...) All the newcomers do a terrific job. Isaacs and Branagh are superb...in fact the whole cast is just OUTSTANDING! All of them! And Dobby...WOW! Exactly as I had imagined him to be. And the film is definitely NOT too long! During the whole film I kept looking at the watch, afraid that the film would soon be over.

The scenery was once again awesome and the special effects were amazing. I missed a few scenes though...for example the one where Snape turns up behind Harry and Ron from nowhere and forces them to follow him to his office. And the one where Harry, without being seen, throws a firework in Snape's class. The firework explodes in Goyle's potion and half of the students get hit by Swelling Solution.
However, the magic is there, the humour is there, the action is there, and the film is darker - just as the book!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is without a doubt the best film I've seen so far this year. I wanted more Snape...but I give CoS 10 stars out of 10 anyway!!!
