Not worth the hype.....

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2002)

I read parts of the Harry Potter series. I found them uninteresting and immature. Didn't understand what all the fuss was about. So I decided to see this movie.
It's not a complete waste. Good for KIDS. I repeat kids. It is funny in parts and humor is at par with a childrens film. But the storyline seemed slap dash. There was no depth at all, just seemed like everyone was going through the motions. Harry Potter has to be the most boring main character I have ever read in a book, or seen in a movie. He is rather uninteresting and not is not at the fault of the actors. This is a case of bad directing. There are pretty pictures and F/X(I have seen better on Babylon5 and Xena). There isn't much of a storyline either. What storyline was there was rather low key.
The movie didn't have that grand scale feel. Nothing in the movie felt larger then life. Everything felt small and almost TV like. At times it was like a live action cartoon. Which Harry Potter would he better off as. It's cute for kids.
6/10 at best.
