Almost perfect.

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2004)

I loved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ; this movie was not as childish as the others, and Alfonso Cuaron did a great job. I love the fact that it is darker than the other ones and the characters are more mature (haven't read the book.. i guess in the book it is like that). The only think I didn't like was some of the effects that seemed so fake considering the mega budget for a HP film. They really have to improve on it, specially on the animals. And there were some shots, specially in the ones when Hermione is held by the tree that look so horrible and in the room you could hear a big laugh for the horrible shot.
Gary Oldman looks great on it, the best of actors in the movie. For sure this series of movies will not last forever but this one so far is the best of Harry Potter. In the script the characters, specially the teachers are complete clichés, they could have been more unique instead of abusing in clichés of wizards.
