Harry Potter and the Tedious Film

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2004)

Perhaps one of the most boring films I have ever paid to watch at the cinema. Nothing really happens in this film, and when it did I couldn't have cared less. The kid that plays Harry seems to spend the entire film gazing in awe at magical things. "Ooohh! A magic mirror! Ooooh! Magic moving staircase".....Magical goings on? Well a you are at a school of magic so get over it Harry....and he is told over and over again that "You are a wizard Harry!" which seems to surprise him every single time.....
I've not read the books so I can't compare the film, but suffice to say this film put me off ever reading Harry Potter or watching the sequels.
Anyone wanting to watch a magical masterpiece of cinema should give anything with "Harry Potter and the (blank of blank)" in its title a WIDE berth and go and watch something beginning with "The Lord of the Rings...." instead.
Overall 3/10
