Chris Columbus....Please Come Back!!

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2004)

As many of the Harry Potter fans, I have waited years to have this movie produced. However I was greatly let down when I saw the movie today. The actors are wonderful and I still have much love for them. Daniel greatly reminded me of the Harry from the book, Emma's character had so much more depth and strength and Rupert was still able to put a smile on my face. However, I strongly believe that Alfonso has disappointed me in the outcome of this movie. The movie was rather choppy and unclear. Much of the main plot was changed from the original book, as well as many places from the original movies were randomly changed. It was a very poor adaptation of the movie. I do not blame the actors because they bring the books to life for me. I did not expect an exact copy of the book when I went to the movie, but I expected better. I was extremely disappointed...I believe that this movie would of greatly succeeded under Chris's directing hands. Chris...Please come back!!!
