JK Rowling says "Best one yet" and I agree!!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2004)

You want to slam the director for cutting, cutting, cutting, go for it. I agree, it's painful sometimes to watch a film based on a book and notice the missing pieces everywhere.
Now, get over it. Put the freakin' book down, clear your head and watch the film.
That's right, the film, not the book, the film.
First, let's get Chris Columbus out of the way. He's one of the blandest, clumsiest directors out there. Don't forget, this man forever left us with that damned us with that Home Alone film and I will never for give him. The first two Potter films were slow, episodic dribble that while holding the story of the book together where tedious and uninvolving to those who had not read it, and those who had. I dreaded the films from the minute I heard he was helming them and hoped beyond hope they would. Well they did.
Second, let's talk about what was done right. The dialogue is honest, the acting is ten-fold better, the special effects near perfect, the lighting brilliant, the tone flawless and the camera never stagnant and always involving.
Third, the story; the point is there. Don't argue that he cut stuff out because the Author okayed it and I think she would know what has to be there!
Finally; JK Rowling approves the film and proclaimed it the Best of the Three! Okay, the author herself, the person who penned those books you lonely fanatics hold so dear signed off on it and showered it with praise.
So there, detractors, take that.
