A Bitter Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

The overall movie was just okay when viewing it by itself. Having to be the third movie of the series, it lacked fluidity with the first two movies. It was a disappointment.
The movie scenes didn't flow throughout. Then the actual scenes were changed. Hagrid's house was somewhere else. Students were not in uniform all of the time. This might have been so since Harry was a third year but this did not flow with the other movies. The student population was of different nationality with the other two movies. Plus, in one scene Harry's scar is on the wrong side.
As far as the acting goes, I felt they all did a good job. The new actors did a compelling job in following the storyline. The story line was out of sequence. They also didn't explain why any this came about. Like why Lupin, Sirus, James and Peter were friends and how Lupin turned into a werewolf. I felt this was key information in the story.
I can honestly say I'm surprised that J.K. Rowling didn't put her foot down into putting the story correctly.
