breathtaking excitement

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2005)

this movie is not only the best harry potter by far, but also the best movie i have seen all year. i actually cheered for the characters (especially harry) throughout the whole thing. this one is even up there with the lord of the rings trilogy. in fact, i was so surprised at how emotionally drained i was at the end, Harry's acting was just so good. it was as perfect as a movie that is based off of a 734 pg. could be. this has certainly brought my excitement back to the franchise, (after Prisoner of Azkaban, which was mediocre in my opinion). This director (who was offered to cap the first hp) has definitely captured the excitement and the atmosphere of 'you-don't-have-any-idea-of-what-comes-next' that J.K. Rowling masterfully crafted in her novels.
