Rating: 5.0
better than azkaban
I think we should all think about how bad this film could have been and appreciate the fact that it's as good as it is. This movie could have been as bad as the the previous one. Yes they took out some very, I believe, key scenes, but at least it followed the general outline of the book. Azkaban jumped all over the place and lets not forget the shrunked head!Don't get me wrong I am a huge Harry Potter fan and yes I am an adult, but I think that most people tend to forget that these books are geared toward kids and young adults. If these movies were made to be seen by adults only then maybe a lot of the key elements of the movie (i.e. school and dating) wouldn't be played up so, but remember a lot of the people seeing these movies are going through the same things. I think J.K. goes to great lengths to show us the teenage side of Harry and his friends and being in school or dating are all very teenage things. Remember he's only 14 in this movie. What were you dealing with when you were 14? Yes, Harry has this whole other part of his life that is scary and very real, but he also has to deal with the same issues the rest of us did/do. I think that is why he is so lovable.So after all the ranting, I have to say that I think the director and cast did the best they could with the amount of time they had. I personally loved the movie and I think it's the best one yet.
