utterly awful

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2005)

This film is an absolute shocker, i honestly can't get my head around the thousands of harry potter fans who stalk JK Rowling, swarming to her like a plague of flies to something not so pleasant. Now believe me i give the books very little credit as they are predictable, boring and predictably boring, but even i can see that the films, especially harry potter and the philosopher's stone, are a poor portrayal of a dull book.
The acting is actually painful. I read a review of the film saying that credit should go to some performances. There are no performances, granted it would take a hell of a display to make this film entertaining, but the actors chosen don't even have a go. The parts of the film which i can only presume should be taken seriously turn out just laughable. Comedy is the only positive that can be taken from this film, oh and its in colour! "Im , I'm a what?"
