Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Pros: special effects, story is great

Cons: school redesign, Michael Gambon as the new Dumbledore

The Bottom Line: Harry Potter's most trivial experience yet!

Review: The first two Harry Potter movies captured the "magic" of the first two books with flying colors, which led the two movies to an overall combined gross of over 600 million dollars. That's some pretty fat cash. It has been two years since...

Pros: Cinematography, acting definitely have improved.

Cons: Bit confusing if you don't pay close attention or have not read the book

The Bottom Line: If you like movies about wizards & magic, if you love the Harry Potter books, & if you saw the last two movies and liked them, you should see it!

Review: This film was directed by Alfonso Cuaron - the first two were by Chris Columbus. This one is definitely darker, not only because of the storyline but the all around feel and look of the movie. Cuaron helped Harry and his fellow wizards grow up a bit...

Pros: Fantastic casting, new character depth, better filmmaking

Cons: Perhaps not as obviously magical as the first two, nor as true to the books

The Bottom Line: I'm not sure I liked this movie as much as the first two, but I'm positive it's a better film. Read my rambling 2500 words for a better explanation.

Review: As of Saturday, June 5, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban seems almost certain to shatter the first-weekend box-office record set by Spider-Man This goes to show what I've been saying all along: Kids love Alfonso Cuaron.
...

Pros: Very well played, great direction, and awesome actors

Cons: Some settings were changed, characters missing, and lack of Quidditch!

The Bottom Line: Not as good, but still worth the while. Harry Potter Rocks!

Review: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) has had a hard summer and it's much worse now. The Dursleys, Vernon (Richard Griffiths, Harry Potter...

Pros: Excellent production values, interesting story, impressive special effects.

Cons: Too grim and frightening for small children.

The Bottom Line: Get a baby sitter for the kids and come to this movie without them.

Review: I'll try to be brief because there are so many other Epinions already logged on HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

This is a Harry Potter movie, the third in the series (which may eventually extend to seven). If you haven't seen the...

Pros: Daniel Radcliffe, Gary Oldman, maturing tone of the film series, plot line, musical score

Cons: too dark at times, not enough Sirius Black

The Bottom Line: Alfonso Cuaron picks up right where Columbus left off ? and presents the most mature and darkly toned Potter film to date, which makes it all the more spellbinding.

Review: For the first time a film adaptation of one of the series of wildly popular Harry Potter books is presented with the most unaccustomed challenges, ones the previous two ventures had not met up with. First, Chris Columbus, who had directed both the...

Pros: Simply stunning directing, soundtrack, and acting from everyone involved. It is infinitely darker.

Cons: People that loved the first two movies aren't ready for it.

The Bottom Line: It could have been...er, should have been longer, but enough of a perfect thing in never achieved.

Review: I ll admit it, I m not an avid reader...at all. I can honestly say that I have never, ever read a book completely, other the second, third, and fifth Harry Potter novels. While I ve read both of the other books halfway through, I just get...

Pros: All the original characters returned and were wonderful.

Cons: I have to get used to the new Dumbledore.

The Bottom Line: This is another great installment in the life of Harry Potter. Don't take my word. Go see for yourself.

Review: Time travel. Horse birds. Hologram people getting ripped from their picture frames. Invisacloaks. Whomping willows. Unicorn. Black raggedy spirits. Your buddies getting beat up right along side you. Young wizards not only getting mad, but getting...

Pros: Excellent job by most of the actors.

Cons: A little slow moving... and Richard Harris is greatly missed.

The Bottom Line: The bottom line used to be "Abracabra".

Review: Harry Potter.

Unless you've been living in a cave somewhere, you've heard the name. I got Hooked on Harry right before Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out. Anytime I hear the word "controversy" especially combined with...

Pros: Story, Acting, Watson, Effects, and fantasy

Cons: the Director sucks at making movies and the changing props

The Bottom Line: This movie is very good, it has a few minor issues, but the best so far of the Harry Potter Movies. It's story line is very interesting.

Review: The preview of this movie caught my eye the moment I saw it, I was anticipating it's release, and went to see it in theaters with a friend the day it came out. The beginning starts out perfect, as would be expected by the Harry potter series, him in...
