Visual Feast

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2004)

This film is without a doubt the best of the three ... It is so visually rich with detail ... Interesting angles, lots of exterior shots, special effects were seamless ... The acting of the three majors is improved, raw and natural ... While staying true to the essence of the book, what is delivered here is a pleasing, fast-paced, extremely witty, visual feast ...
Warning: Some plotlines don't make it into the movie or in some cases the sequence of things are not the same or are streamlined for the sake of time  While this is always a bit painful for the faithful Potter-fan to swallow, even the sections I knew ahead of time were missing I didn't find it to be blatant  you get swept away in the movie and it's hardly noticeable  Important though to separate yourself from the details of the book so as not to be disappointed  There ARE things missing but the main stuff from the book is all there  All considering, they were pretty faithful  There are some added scenes or things in scenes that only served to enhance
Bottom Line: Can't imagine anyone coming away disappointed.
