Harry Potter: disappointed in Daniel Radcliffe

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2001)

I could not find any passion coming out of Daniel Radcliffe. All I could see was his trying to act hard, which made many scenes awkward. Harry is supposedly the one who develops the theory of somebody's trying to steel the sorcerer's stone and trys to stop it. This kind of stunts must requires lots of inspiration, insights or leadership. But I could not see any of these in this kid. He looks like just an ordinary normal everyday kid. Whenever he needed to provide a penetration or a leadership it looked just strange. It just did not match to his characteristics.
Actually the other kids are doing good. Especially Tom Felton. He looks so natural as if he himself was a cheeky aggresive challenging kid but still hard to completely hate. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are also doing good job.
Film itself was taken very well. Special effect was very good, creating wonderful world of wizard. Generally it is still enjoyable but I wish Radcliffe could have done better.
