DIRECTOR SUCKED!!!!!!!!!! Not only was it entirely different from the book but they changed 3 main characters and the location of the Womping willow from the previous movies. Director spent to much time with special effects and scenery then sticking to the first two excellent movies. POOR, POOR JOB on this movie hopefully its back to the way it was for the first two when they make the fourth.

I thought this movie was well made! The story was well told but a lot of important details were left out!

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

The movie as a whole was good. However, I don`t think this director went in for as much detail as Chris Columbus did. Also I think they could have done a better job at casting Professor Dumbledore. I don`t think Michael Gambon fit the part. They should have tried to find someone that looked & sounded more like Richard Harris. To me Michael Gambon just seemed to be walking through the part. No real emotion there. I hope they replace him in the next one.

I think it is the best yet. I sat enthralled the whole time. The kids have grown up some and their talent has doubled. I loved it!!! Amy - Ontario

this movie was the worst of the 3 so far the director sucked so bad they changed the movie from the book so much more then the frist 2 movies did

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

I was very disappointed. Too much was left out of the book. If you love the book and have read it more than once don`t go see this movie. You will be disappointed.

I went into this film with high expectations- they were shattered. Most people I went with had not read the books, and for some parts of the movie, were lost. Some of the best parts of the book were left out, and i found myself getting bored because, unlike the other two movies, this one just couldnt hold my attention. If you enjoyed the book, save yourself the grief and do not watch the movie.

This was the best Harry Potter movie so far, the director had a wonderful insight into the Harry Potter world. The story was rewritten in certain places, (and we all knew it would have to be), but the plot kept a flow that highlighted the most important aspects of the third book, as well as strengthening the importance of the friendship between the main three characters. Dumbledore was sensationally true to the energetic, wise and somewhat quirky character he is in the novels. It was bloody brilliant! Five stars!

Overall the movie was pretty good, yet there were many parts that were deleted in the movie which was in the book.

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

i loved the artistic bits of the movie...that`s what really set apart this harry potter film from the other two. and i loved the fact that the characters aren`t just children anymore...they`ve grown a bit, gotten deeper. but maybe it`s cuz i`m about their age, and i can relate to this film more than the other two.

I thought it was phenominal!! The best one yet!!!

AWESOME MOVIE!!!

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

the director SUCKED SO BADLY!! he cut WAY too many scenes out, the movie HARDLY made any sense if you havent read the book (but i have). new characters just appeared out of nowhere, and a lot of things should have been enphizised. i think its a great movie but the director SUCKS. i hope they have a new one for the 4th movie, HOPE. and i really dont want them to replace the cast in the 5th one!! ahh

BREATHTAKING!!! This was easily the best of the three, this director rocks. I thought that too much stuff that was in the book had been cut out. Also, Hermione was getting on my nerves after awile, always clinging onto somebody. You`re a big girl, grow up! Also I didn`t care much for the new Dumbledore. Dumbledore IS NOT supposed to look scared! But besides those complaints, it was awesome. Malfoy was hilarious.

It was great

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

It was an amazing movie, many people complain about the details that were left out from the book but you have to understand that there is only so much time that the director has to make this film, i thought it was absolutly BRILLIANT!!

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

it is scary.

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

I think it`s great if you`ve read the book. If not there might have been some holes in the plot for why some things happened. But definitely the best so far! Keep them coming :)

I don`t know if I saw the same film as everyone else (especially the movie critics who obviously have never read one the novels), but most of the most important elements of the book was absent from this movie. I also did not feel that it was dark and mysterious. I felt the movie was filmed just the oposite, light and airy. It jumped from scene to scene with no cohesiveness. I cannot believe that the director forgot to explain where the Marauders Map came from and who were its authors is beyond me. I was extremely disappointed with this adaption as it provided no character development (especially those characters that will play promi

It wasn`t the light, entertaining HP we`re used to but its a dark, dreary, rushed sort of film. I think the director wanted to make everyone grow up so he focused a lot of on the puppy love between hermione, ron and harry. Honestly, who really wants to see another awkward teenage moment? We`ve got HIlary Duff for that! Please bring back the HP we know and love...the 4th is the best book...so don`t screw up

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

The wizardry of the Potter novels is exceeded only by the director`s truthful depiction of the events

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

The first two we very good. This one did not measure up. It left out a lot of details from the book and seemed shallow and less emotional. The setting was radically different fromt he first two...almost like it was another place altogether. It lacked the chrisma of the first two movies.

User review rating: 0 June 07, 2004

Too dark, strayed too far from the book (too many details were left out - definitely could have been longer) and seems to have lost the charm the first two exhibited. Though Harry, Ron & Hermione will always be great!

I definitely enjoyed the "two places at once" part. Poor Ron. -Cheers.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

Didn`t enjoy this movie as much as the 1st and 2nd one, storyline went by way too fast, all they talked about was who they were afraid of and stuff, it was just pointless they skipped so many parts too while the 1st and 2nd movie they had almost all the parts

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

What makes HP so great are the funny scenarios and unique ideas that Hogwarts is a real place. This movie totally forgot about that as it rushed to include every bit of plot detail making for a choppy-dark-off centre film. I miss Chris Columbos...this movie was a huge disappointment...but I still love you HP!

It was the best movie out of all three! The effects were awesome. The only thing i didn`t like about it is that they left out a lot of great things from the book. It was fantastic!

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

A very good and well-directed movie. The style is noticeably different (Columbus aimed at a younger age than Cuaron) but the quality is not taken away at all. If anything (with all due respect to Chris Columbus) this movie surpasses the first two easily. Most notably is how much darker and scarier this is from the first two. I nearly wet myself when I first saw the Dementors as me and my two other friends sat in a row surrounded by 8 year olds at the early show. They were just as frightened as us, it was then that it struck me, this is too scary for the majority of the people who`ve read the book. My only grievance is the lack of quiddi

i thought it was the best out of the 3i also thought it also really lived up to book and i cant wait till it comes out on dvd.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

Not as pleased with this movie as I was with the first two. It has lost it`s appeal as a child`s story and grown a lot darker. Plus the kids look too old for their roles.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

Haven`t seen it yet! But i know it`s good! LOL!

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

I think it was the best out of all the movies out so far. I was always on the edge of my seat. Even though some of it didn`t follow the book, I was still impressed on how it turned out overall. I would definitely see it again.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

I thought this movie was pretty cool. It was definatly better done than the other two, but on the other hand as i left the theatre i felt empty, and deprived from the magic of the book. There was so many parts that were missed, one that really contributed to the story. I felt it was way too rushed, I mean i felt i was just watching Harry running away from home, and all of the sudden he is already talking to Sirius. This movie is worth seeing, but it could have been done differently. In general, this movie is good, the actors did an amazing job, and i cannot wait to see what the 4th one wil be like.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

This movie rocked!! I cannot choose one that I think of as a favorite they are all excellent so far!!

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

I thought it was good, but as said before, they left out Ron inviting Harry for the World Cup, the makers of the Marauder`s Map, How Hermione got her cat "Crookshanks", Pig Ron`s new owl sent from Sirius, how Harry gets his new broom(the firebolt, also sent from Sirius) and the ending. The ending in the book was better, with Uncle Vernon at the platform telling Harry that he has no Godfather.

A great film, but I was dissapointed that some minor details were forgotten. But aside from that... great action, drama and plot.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

they forgot like everything and the messed up lots of events and such. i disliked their new cast members, they didnt reflect the characters. and it was worse than the previous two. so to sum up, boo. thumbs down. so much worser than the book.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

it was the best movie ever in the whole world!!! i think it was great. i wish i could meet the cast!!!

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

The direction didn`t capture the plot and moods like the last, you can tell almost the second it starts that it`s a different preson leading the movie...I thought this movie was a half-rate just because of that.

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

This is one of the best movies ever. Really Really Good!

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

Wonderful, but the book contained so many details that were missed and filled in the rest of the story. It seemed a little more rushed. The format was different but then again the format of the book changed in book 3. Was there more than one whomping willow?? Or did they just change the location?

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

The movie is great as it covers a lot in 2 hrs & 20mins. Still, many parts from the novel are missing in the movie. People who have not read the books may have hard time to follow with what`s happening in the movie

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

I really really liked this movie. It had a much darker side, so it was scary! I thought that they should have made the new Dumbledore look more like the old one, but besides that everything was great!!! I can`t wait to see it again!!!

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

I thought that Harry Potter [and the Prisoner of Azkaban] was a good movie but was sort of "rushed". But then again, if they were to include every good detail from the book, it would be a 4 hour movie and think of how long the 4th and 5th movies would be if that was the case. However, I felt that a slight addition to some scenes (like Quidditch and the Shrieking Shack scenes) would add more effect into the film. Overall, I thought it was an exceptional film. The cast has grown into portraying their roles more adequately; specifically Daniel Radcliffe. I thought he did a phenomenal job and being faced with the role of Harry Potter, a fictional

User review rating: 0 June 06, 2004

It was very different from the other two. STILL it was amazing, Less Magic and Myth, to it and more Mystery and Suspense. I can`t wait till number 4!!! It`s a definit "Must See". :D
