dreadful acting, dreadful plot, dreadful film

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2005)

This is by far the most embarrassing installment of the harry potter films, not that I enjoyed any of the others. What really annoys me about this film, and I mean REALLY annoys me is the completely wooden performances by the lead characters, and how Daniel Radcliffe has become the UK's most valuable teenager is beyond me. Stirred up by the success of the books, these films are riding purely on the parental pester power from pre teens alone, and the release of these films is such an allegedly major event that parents feel they can't deny their kids. What is also obvious from watching this film, ( well when I say watching, i mean catching the film between me falling asleep in the cinema), is that the director is packing to much CGI and action into the film when it isn't needed. What happened to the directors of films such as Run Lola Run and Lord of the rings, who use their obvious talent as directors rather than just budget to create a great film.
Harry Potter is unimaginative, dull, boring and not worth even a fraction of the entrance charge. I won't be buying this on DVD!
