What a let down

Rating: 5/10 (24 February 2002)

I am surprised that JK Rowling had anything to do with the filming
at all! Vital (SMALL) sections were left out, and the ending was
completely altered for no apparent reason, other than an ego trip
for Warner Bros computer animation dept! Whilst I enjoyed
sections of the movie, I thought Emma Watson II over-acted all the
time, whilst Daniel Radcliffe performed acceptably. To my way of
thinking, the pick of the actors was Rupert Grint as Ron. He
demonstrated superb timing and had an easy way of acting. Alan
Rickman as Snape was a good choice, but once again, WBros
had to add a nice little line wishing Potter good luck in the
Quiddich match!! TOTALLY out of character and unnecessary. Warner Bros had a wonderful opportunity to create a masterpiece,
but they stuffed it up!
