Harry Potter is stupid and dorky, both him and the movie.

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2002)

The only reason I went to see this movie was because my girlfriend gave me no other option. However, once I got to the theater, I was really in the mood to try to open my mind up and let this movie capture my attention.

Unfortunately it never did. Granted, I am not big into dungeons and dragons, witchcraft, sorcerers or wizards, but that didn't stop me from really enjoying Lord of the Rings. So that proves that I am *capable* of enjoying a night out watching a movie such as this, however Harry Potter just didn't do it for me.
I don't know if was just the main character, Harry Potter, that turns me off or what, but I must say that he surely didn't help matters. He seemed to be nothing but a "do-gooder" who is a brainiac but yet the athletic "braveheart" of the movie. Yea right, ummm ok.
By the time the movie was over, I was dying to get out of the theater. Had it gone on for even 10 more minutes I think I would have had a nervous breakdown trying to hide my discontent from my girlfriend.

After the movie I just wrote it off as me not liking it due to the idea that I'll never like a fantasy movie with wizardry in it. However since seeing Lord of the Rings, I now know it isn't just me, as I loved that one. I guess I just don't like the character Harry Potter, thus making it hard to like the movie, Harry Potter. And by the way, no I never read the books about Harry Potter, and now I doubt I ever will.
