Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004, Dir. Alfonso Cuarón)
It's a dark time again at Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry for Harry Potter and his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as they start their third year. Sirius Black, who is believed to have helped in the kidnapping of Harry's parents, have escaped from Azkaban prison. Dementors are everywhere, keeping a lookout for Black. Life is still not that bad, that is, until the Fat Lady reports that Sirius Black is in the castle. Whatever Harry Potter does now, he will always need tread carefully and watch his back.
After the previous two successful Harry Potter movies, it was going to be hard to improve on them, especially with a different director. Fortunatly, they manage to create a movie which is a lot better and more fun and exciting to win. The young stars are the film have improved tremendously and really gave the film its professional film. The set pieces are wonderfully crafted and the special effects are amazing. Gary Oldman and David Thewlis brings life to the characters and really make them fit in with the sinister. Sirius Black really does have that feel to make you hate him and then love him. The story is a lot more interesting than the previous two films and is so much more exciting to watch. Alfonso Cuarón has really brought a wonderful masterpiece of children's film-making.
"Well, Harry's got sort of a wonky cross. That's trials and suffering." "And that there could be the sun and that's happiness." "So..." "...you're gonna suffer, but you're gonna be happy about it." - Ron (Rupert Grint)
