The director has let us down.

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2002)

When I obtained pre booked tickets for the long awaited 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone (Philosiphers Stone) I was very pleased with myself and went into the packed cinema to get a good seat. When the film started however, I noticed the massive chunks of the book just dissapearing in the wave of a wand. Director Chris Colombus is not too good at this type of film and lets us down with his nasty angles and overuse of zoom. The child acting is terrible at best, though Rupert Grint plays a satisfactory part as Ron Weasley, Harry's mate. Steve Kloves has completely destroyed a fantastic book with this screenplay, though, if you ignore the amazing book, you may enjoy this film.
