Just like the rest of the movies

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2004)

I'm a big fan of the books, but I can't stand the movies. While the acting abilities of the lead actors have improved, the movies cannot be compared to the books. What's the use of making a movie, if you do not stick to the book. If you wanna make a movie appealing, at least follow the book in some manner. This movie deprives us of our right to watch a movie which actually gives us a sense of feeling that we are reading the book. While it shows the darker side of Harry, what else does it offer? If we want to see a film driven by a fantasy of art we will go and see it. Harry Potter is not driven by art, it is driven by compelling wizardry, teenage fantasy, and evil. Reading the books gave me pleasure, watching the movies make me cringe.
