my childhood fantasies finally come to life on the silverscreen
It was exactly what I thought it would be. Excellent film.
THIS IS A MOVIE FOR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!no offence to the children
they missed to much detail
Although this movie does not live up to the book in any sense, it is very well done. It takes you into the magical world or Wizardry. It focuses on imagination, friendship, and the importance of education...which I think are important messages to be getting out there to kids today. I still however don t agree with this book being produced into a feature film because I think it takes away the imagined world of Harry Potter experienced through reading the books.
the best ever
i thought it was a really good movie, i saw it twice and loved it!!! rupert grint is the best actor, hes very funny i wanted to see alot of other parts that were in the book bu they cut it out of the movie
IT WAS GREAT! ME AND MY BEST FRIEND R GOING TO SEE IT FOR THE 6TH TIME !!
Harry potter and the philosopher s was abulutly the best movie i ever saw. i v saw it twice already and i m going to go see it again. My faveriot part was when harry was playing quiditch it was so amazing.Even my mom loved it. this website is great. ecspecailly for people who don t know anything about Harry potter. and the clips from the movies are just great. I go on this website everday. it s amazing. please keep me informed on everthing about Harry potter. From your biggest fan Jenna Hubbert!
It was terrific it s like being in the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest movie ever made!!!!!!!
I am an avid reader, and having read all 4 books...three times I couldn t sit still after it was announced that there was to be a movie. Now, I absolutely loved the books, but after watching the movie, I couldn t help noticing all of the parts - most of which contained importance were left out!!! Don t get me wrong, the movie was outstanding. The graphics, the personalities, and how imaginitave it was developed - but some parts were left out that I m sure would have made the movie even better. Some of these include - the protection of Norbert in the watchtower, and the potions test on the quest to the Philosophers Stone. I now that the
It is a nice movie But I don t know why they have 3 start for this movie!!
I watched it with my sisters.my brother,my sisters boyfriend and his brother. BOO TO THE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THE MOVIE SUCKED!!!!!!!!!! If they don t know what good movies, are they should go watch Barney with their baby siblings!!!! I read a newspaper and it said that since parents think that Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone has too much Black Magic,they should stop saying that because at least their kids are getting some literature in their heads. BOO TO YOU TOO,MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It s a really good and magical movie, especially for excited young people and even for all the range of ages!! Even though I have read all four volumes of books, the movie is still great! Keep up for the next movie!!! =)
I enjoyed it so much, that when it comes out on DVD, I will pick it right off the shelf
It was amzingly amazing! Oliver Wood was SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO HOT! And Harry smile was da bomb. And Ron is a cutie! I think Hermione was a cute gurl. They were good actors, and Ron is very funny. DA BOMB! I loved it! I ve seen it twice, and I m going back for more. See it... it is NOT a waste of ur $$$ or time!. I think it coulda been a whole 2 hours longer and I wouldn t budge fromt my seat!
Harry Potter and the Philosopher s Stone was absolutely amazing. It took some good parts out, but if every part was there, it would be a flippin 10 hour movie. Rupert Grint ( the boy who plays Ron Weasly ) is a major cutie, and it is especially cute when Dan Radcliffe ( the boy who plays Harry Potter of course ) smiles.
I thought it was really good I have saw it twice and loved it i cant wait till it come s out on video
I fell asleep after the first hour.
So stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the movie tonight, i really liked it but it would have been extraordinary if they sticked to the climax in the book..i didnt like it how they really skipped some of the parts in the movie...i know it was a long one and it would have been longer if they included every part...but for money s worth...it still counts...Overall, good movie, hope The Chamber of Secrets is exciting as well!
It was an awesome movie I recommend everyone to watch it. I know I would see it again.
On a scale form 1-10, 10 being the best, 15. Thogh, they missed alot of parts, and hyped us up for a less magical story. For the book, scale of 1-10, 48674.
Great movie! The best movie I EVER SAW! I am definenly coming back for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!
IT S REALLY AMAZING AND CREATIVE.
My family and I enjoyed the movie. However, I personally preferred the book. The movie was very Hollywood....too much glitz and too fast-paced. The book was an absolutely outstanding piece of imagination that took me to places that Hollywood never could.
I enloyed it alot. I just wan to watch it again and again.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don t. He re my problem with HP&Phil-stone. I know the book too well, thus I m fully aware of the films shortcomings, campared to the magnificent book. What would you do as script editor? You ve got a multitude of characters, situations and personalities that all somehow have to be squeezed into the story. I wonder what the film would have been like if it was based upon the theme of the first book? Perhaps if they kept to the main characters and their interactions, it would have been more cinematic than cold revision of the book, like some text version. For example, Snape & Quirrel hardly get a lo
Starting in a modern day setting surprised me. The curiosity got the better of me. The movie had a great series of twist and turns, though some mysteries were predictably solved. Overall a great family movie.
Not as good as the book. Many interesting details missing, and some of the scenes just weren t as magical as imagined. Worst of all, the ending scenes just didn t compare to the book.
WORSE THAN ISTAR AND BATTLE-FIELD EARTH COMBINED!!
DREADFUL MOVIE..OVERHYPED!
It was an unbelievable freakin story..and the worst one...
My nephew seen this movie and he thought it was the best movie he has ever see.
Wow! talk about being overrated! i was so excited to see this movie, and granted all the special effects were good and the story was pretty close to the books. but it lacked the imagination and appeal that is known to be harry potter! The movie is getting way too much hype than it deserves, and i would say to save your 12 dollars, and wait for a pretty good dvd!
Great movie, great effect, great story line. Loved it!!
i think the movie was good .. Loved how imaginative the story was and how detailed the plot of each scene was created to be .. excellent !the length of the movie allows the audience to get some background info on the main character I and can t wait until the next one comes out :)
OH MY GOD!!!It was da bomb!I luved it sososososososososososooooooo much!!!I hope the second Harry Potter movie comes out earlier then November 2002.And just one minor note not that I m complaining...that all the parts from the book should be included.But still...in my opinion I think that the quidditch team captin of Gryfinndor is soooo cute!Dun eva change him...or the other characters.Like Snape...he s definatly someone you d luv to hate.Anyways yeah....God Bless to the makers of the movie and writer of the book! Jessica
Very detailed movie, very enjoyable for people of all ages.
I thought that this movie was incredible!!!!! I loved it! I ve read all the books and the movie did not disappoint me at all! Trust me, it s worth all the hype!! The actors were all perfect especially the guy who played Snape. And the guy who played Oliver Wood was a HOTTIE!!!! They better not change any of the actors for the rest of the movies!!Go see this movie!!!You will not regret it! It s truly an incredible experience!!!!
avg acting, avg story, avg effects. wait for LordOfTheRings.
IT WAS THE COOLEST MOVIE THERE EVER WAS! I CAN T WAIT TIL IT COMES OUT ON VIDEO. I LIKED IT SO MUCH I RATE THIS MOVIE FROM 1 TO 10 A 13
I was waiting for this movie... it goes beyond imagination. the best movie of all times based on a best book of all times.
Too much emphasis on the wrong parts of the book. Other than that, WONDERFUL!!
i really enjoyed it. the movie was not only for kids , but the older croud would like this too.
For the most part, the movie was awsome. The only thing was that they left out a lot of stuff, like they didn t evn mention that Harry s owl s name was Hedwig. There wasn t enough about Norbert either. The quidditch match was a little too fast. But other than that...I m going to go see it again next week!
I think Harry Potter was a great movie but in some parts it can be scary for little kids . When the movie was over i told my mom that it was a big buyer .My mo loved it too all my friends said the same thing .thanks you all did a great gob
Two hours could ve been cut out
