Fully realized world. But does contain some flawed cgi.

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2002)

Now I'm not the sort of hateful guy that looks at such a movie and cries foul. I suppose if the Catholics can have corrupted priests... us Christians can have Nazi supported book burnings. What.. are we paranoid of this? Lemme guess.. they're gonna go apeskip over Halloween.
I like magic. Kinda wish the Death Gate Cycle was made into a movie. (hence my email address name) But I'm afraid that'll be rated R. Imagine Merlin without his magic? Are we so concerned about our children that we deny them the right to read?
I've never truly been into Harry Potter. But I have been interested. I love to read books. Though I'm in a bit of a lull at the moment. But anyone who can get the young ones to read an 800 page book definatly gets my attention. I wasn't sure about watching the movie until a certain fool decided it was book burning time. These of course are the same folks who advocate murdering abortion doctors. Which is worse? Reading about fantasy or actually committing the act?
Well enough political crap. I loved the movie. It was very well done. While I've never read a book, this had amazing use of CGI. However.. some of the fight scenes looked very fake. And I found it funny that a 152 minute movie made use of it's time so wisely. I didn't find anything boring about it. It's a movie that I think any age would love. (unless your one of those unmentionables above.. I never thought it was our right at Christians to hate and judge people. But I guess thats what happens sometimes.) At this rate I'm bound to find a copy of that trailer coming out this friday. :)
