Beautiful

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2004)

Overall: brilliant, beautiful.
I can't blame the director for making the whole package so rushy. It is the limitation of duration that forces them to cut everything down. However, it would really REALLY help if the movie were not cut so much; a 3-4 hours movie would not be too long for Harry Potter fans to put up with. In fact, we would enjoy it more..
As for critics, we all notice the barking Sirius against Harry while he is his godfather. And the magic attempt by Harry on the beginning of the movie.
I don't object the last part where Harry mounts his new broom. It makes it all the more cheerful, closing up the whole movie beautifully.
This movie is a work of art. The first two movies were a bit boring because it sticks to the books too much. Alfonso's creativity is well appreciated here.
