This could be the next Harry Potter

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2012)

While I haven't read the books and barely knew any of the characters names before going into this film, I was massively entertained by it. As a matter of fact, when I first saw the trailer, I flashed back, coincidently, to my first time seeing the first Harry Potter movie trailer. And I said the same thing I said then: I'd see that in a second. The film's best aspects are the performances. Jennifer Lawrence delivers a nomination-worthy performance, Woody Harrelson does the same, and everyone else was great as well. As for the rest of the series, let's hope that without even the great Gary Ross directing, they can be as good as this one was, and yes, I think the credit should go to him, a great director.
