This generation's classic

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2001)

Excellent movie that appeals to both children and adults as the beautiful story it is.
I saw this movie together with my fiance who had read the four books released which I havn't. Saying this, I don't have the books to compare with (but I ensure you that if I wanted to read them before I want to do it tenfold after seeing the movie!).
I usually find something to complain about, especially panorama scenes when you get to see a lot of scenery and buildings. The two things I did found disturbing in the movie was the computer generated face of Voldemort and the centaur in the forest. Apart from this everything was, in short, beautiful. Both sceneries, buildings, costumes and creatures.
Being twenty-six years of age today I relate to the movies of my youth and I am willing to place a bet on that the Harry Potter movies will be for the children of today's generation what the original Star Wars movies are to my generation.
Ending my comment, I just want to say that I embrace the movie and I hope that with the success of Harry Potter and the forthcoming Lord of the Rings movies we will see a growing support for great fantasy films, as we havn't exactly been spoilt with this.
