An interesting ride

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2004)

After a few days of thinking about PoA, after reading other comments and the message boards about what others thought...I have a much happier spin on the movie version of this wonderful story. I read an interview with Cuaron, I believe it was in Rolling Stone, and I was so super-excited about seeing the movie (which was wonderful)!
In all honesty, I was a little disappointed because I'm one of those totally envision-as-you-read kind of girls and I was a little perturbed that it felt so much of the storyline was missing, but I did think it was a beautifully done picture and there were a lot of uplifting moments in the darkness of it all. All in all, I thought it was quite fantastic and I'd like to see it a second time.
I cannot wait to see the next four (and for the last two books) and for the Cuaron fans out there, he's rumored to be coming back for the fifth or sixth movies.
PS Kudos to those actors, they're growing beautifully as people and as artists (thanks Columbus!). Richard Harris, we miss you!
