I thought the film was so good, the actors (especially the child leads) so perfect, that I saw this film three times already and STILL I'm not tired of it! I have also become a fan of HP now because of this film and so far read all the books - ironically, prior to seeing this film I dismissed the books as a child-only fantasy but despite what people say it's for adults too! It wasn't perfect tho IMHO - some of the SFX really show, like the flawed (but otherwise better than TPM's Podrace) Quidditch sequence and the fact that some actors were replaced by obviously fake-looking CGI (Harry riding the troll, Neville on the broomstick, etc) - obviously kids won't mind, but for adults these flaws date this film really fast. The musical score is so-so, I think the composer could've done better in places. The climactic Wizard's Chess sequence is amazing to look at, and will IMHO become a classic fantasy image in years to come. People also complain about the length of the film, but if you just sit down and watch it the time will fly by - never mind what is in the film that isn't in the book and vice-versa. All in all, this is a very good introduction to Harry Potter for Muggles like me, and I look forward to Chamber of Secrets, which I hope will be better, assuming that Chris Columbus takes a look at the forthcoming LOTR - Fellowship of the Ring (a fellow fantasy film), which should be amazing, from what I've heard so far. 7/10 for HP! I'm a 29-yo male btw... |
