First of the franchise

Rating: 5/10 (23 November 2005)

Well, I never really was a HP fan, so my comment may be a little bit unfair, but I was bored by this one.
The series gets better - so I was told - but I think u have to be a fan, to really like the first HP-movie.
Outstanding as ever was the Score of John Williams and the images (especially in the first hour of the movie) were great.
It may be unfair, but the scene with the "Troll" were disappointing in comparison with the (quite same) scene in the first LOTR film of that year. But, well, HP was meant to be seen by little kids.
This film has the same problem as STAR WARS EP I - it's like the first chapter of a book, an introduction of the characters, but nothing more.
So, if u are a fan, u probably want to have this to complete your DVD collection.
