A New Angle - Possible Spoilers

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2004)

Having never read the books i went into this film with no idea what to expect as i knew nothing that was going to happen. I was more than pleased with what i saw, the new director is a step up from Chris Columbus who did a very good job with the last two. The acting was of a good standard...i enjoyed Gary Oldman as Black, having never read the books i thought the character was very good and well played. Michael Gambon did a great job taking over for the now deceased Richard Harris. The special effects were of a high standard and while impressive never over powered the film and took more of a back seat to the characters and story. I liked this one also because of the darker tone and the whole style of the film made it very enjoyable.
Overall i would give it 9 out of 10.
