Disappointing. This is the most disappointing film of the year. In no way does it follow along with what is in the book. The book was scary, and had a plot to it. The film is not scary at all, its more laughable than anything, and there is no plot in this film, it ended before it started. It is a good thing I read the book beforehand to know what was going on, otherwise, it is a waste of $12. Wait for it on DVD to rent it. But even then, you will have felt robbed. Bring Chris Columbus back, or someone who will go by the book. This is a hack job. Alfonso Cuaron totally destroyed the wonderful visions set out by the first two films. Instead of
Meh. How can anyone like such a movie?! I hated their portrayal... someone once said that the younger viewers are bound not to like this movie because it is more "mature"... I`m 14, I`ve read the whole series and have my own interpretation of the difference between whimsical, and "magic". I think that Christopher Columbus provided more of what viewers pictured while Alfonso Cuaron put whatever fit for the third movie alone. I believe that the director should be someone that has read the WHOLE series and actually understands what it`s all about. One word to say about this movie... disappointing >:(
I think that Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban give the dream world image to all the children and adults that see this magical world
i think its a good movie not great some parts are very lame make them a little maturer
i thougth that the movie was better when I saw it the second time. But it was too american. and the werewolfe was so un realisytic. andaniel`s fake crying was really bad, but hey, he still is the hotty.
In my opinion the 3rd HP was the best book out of the 5 existing books, so naturally shouldn’t the 3rd movie live up to the previous HP movies? Anyways my point is there was only one QIDDITCH match, and it doesn’t follow the previous flow of the other 2 movies. For me it wrecked the 3rd installment of HP. Please bring back Chris Columbus, or give Alfonso some HP filming lessons.
Definitely the BEST Harry Potter film yet...I was SOOOO pleased at the fact that the emotions of the film`s hero was shown to be raw and that he was in fact a "very human" teenager (we saw none of that in the first two movies)...another thing I loved was the cinematography of the film (very dark and `gothic-noir`)...the studio (WB) did us a favor by replacing Columbus with Alfonso Cuaron!
The movie was great, Daniel Radcliffe is sooo hot.
okay, what`s with dan`s FAKE crying?! and the dementors arent supposed to fly...they looked like E.T. under a cloak.
i thot it was awesome, but i wish chris columbus was the director. alfonso is great, but the whole plan in the first and second movies is gone. i can`t really reconize anything and the plan is so strange. nothing is as i thot it would be. there were so many things left out!
