This movie is based on special effects only,story is not straight.

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2004)

After a year of waiting, I was not satisfied to see this movie. If you LOVE only the special effects (I loved them too) then this movie is more than great but this movie didn't keep the story straight. If you haven't read the book you'll find it hard to relate a few scenes.The movie also lack COLORS.... Buckbeak seems gray, almost like made out of clay.I expected a bit color in it's feathers, eyes.Dumbledore is supposed to be a strong yet comforting character not a ponytail bearded old man.Being in Hogwarts supposed to be dressed as witches or wizards not as muggles.Muggle clothes in Hogwarts is absolutely disturbing.Also didn't see suspicion build up about Hermione getting 2 classes at a time.I sure hope to see different director for next movie who might try to be honest to the books.
