By far the best Potter Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2005)

Being a Harry Potter fan from the first time i read the book, i knew i would like this film. But not like this... This is something extraordinary, something breathtaking. I liked the first three movies too, but this one stands out. Then Why? Chris Columbus, who directed the two first movies, practically drowned them in grease, while Cuarcon drowned his movie in visual effects. Newell, however, adds the darkness that Potter deserves. Both Harry himself and the story have become more adult, simply. Newell understands Harry like none of the other directors did. Simply, Newell is the first to take Harry seriously. He also made the characters a lot more interesting, which gives the actors more room to act, especially Mr. Radcliffe, who practically grinned himself through the first movie, but now makes Harry come alive. His Colleges, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson also reaches new heights. The rest of the cast is also very good, especially Brendan Gleeson as professor Mad Eye Moody (or Barty Crouch, if you like). The film Is a bit messy in the beginning, but the ending is just incredible. Ralph Fiennes is marvelous as Lord Voldemort and Diggorys death scene is about the strongest I've ever seen. Young or old, man or woman, SEE THIS MOVIE!!
