When Harry Potter first came out, I was not allowed to watch it. For one thing, I was 12 or so and had problems reading books with scary scenes. So my parents thought it best that I not watch it.
Well, years later I'm now 18 and have watched this for the first time. And I must say, from my perspective now, not much "scared" me. In fact, more things were humorous and interesting. I liked the plot, which was based off a book. I loved the characters and their personalities. I was very impressed with the special effects from the CGI to the real life effects.
The only thing I found meh was the fact that it's dealing with imaginary things which we cannot compare to in real life. Lame excuse, however I still wasn't sure if I liked the idea of just casual 'magic' being used. I am more of a logical realistic guy than anything.
At any rate, this wasn't a bad movie at all. Looking forward to 'catching up' to the one coming soon!
