*AWESOME* i loved it, and you will too
awesome movie! some of the parts that might be considered difficult were carried out very nicely, and the stunningly hawt daniel radcliffe didn’t hurt either…
Wonderful Movie
Best movie so far
I like this Dumbledore so much better. The other one was too serious. This one is actually believable.
Pretty good…
Good entertainment. Emma Watson is going to be a hottie.
Dark and amusing but long as hell
Maybe its because I am one of the few people who hasnt been worshipping a pile of grade school level reading material lately, but I have a difficult time getting absorbed into these long, sleep inducing Potter films. This third installment does stand out, however, and is shot with a slick creative energy that makes the stretched out plot more enjoyable. Non-fans can definitely appreciate the more mature nature of the film, which isnt afraid to use more violent and scary images and off the wall humor.
A slightly "darker" Harry.
No dull moments.
Best one yet for me.. darker, scarier.
Same fare as #1 (I didn’t see #2). Great for kids. Amusing for adults.
Wizardly done!
This is the best Potter yet. A lot that is in the book is not here, but only purists would find that bad, after all there were whole sections and characters left out of The Lord of the Rings (not that the Potter movies are in that league of course). As Harry gets angrier in the books as they progress, so he is here in the movie. I say if you want to "see" the book then read the book. It is very entertaining and like most film series, at heart it is a popcorn flick. A damn good one at that. The change of Hogwarts Scenery did not upset me one bit. I liked Hagrid’s cottage better in the first two movies, but so what. That’s a pretty small thing in all. After all seven books and films are done I believe this will be a series we all will fondly read and watch again.
