Summary: Cheesy, dull, unmagical. Read the book-- or play outside
Review: Thuddingly literal adaptation which races so hard to get every famous incident into the movie that it has no time for characterization, magic, humor, any of the qualities that made the books charming. The kids are relatively colorless and adults who seem perfectly cast (from Alan Rickman to John Cleese) are given next to nothing to do. A more joyless example of how British wit can be turned into expensive American product can hardly be imagined-- this is the kind of movie that, given a choice between showing us a magnificently designed set for Gringott's Bank or a pile of phony gold, encourages us to ooh and ahh over the pile. Well, don't add to this movie's pile.

Summary: A Spell binding performance
Review: I can't begin to tell you how good the movie is! I've read the books five times each and I was sceptical of the movie. But once I got into that theater I felt like I entered Harry's world.The casting was superb. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson make the trio come alive! The graphics and setting designs were magnificant. I felt like I was watching the book. It was fast paced even if it was two hours and 40 minutes. I've seen it two times and I'm dieing for the DVD. If you think the book is always better than the movie, this film will make you question your accucation.

Summary: Harry Potter: less than magical
Review: When I went to see this movie, the first sentence that flashed through my mind was "This movie is nothing like
the book." It was horrible. It left out all the best parts of the story and changed the parts it did have. And for God's sake, couldn't they have gotten an actor that looked slightly liked Harry's vivid description in the book? ...And the same goes for everything else in this movie. MUCH less than magical, at least in my and all loyal fans of the books' opinions.

Summary: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, 2 Pleasant surprises
Review: Having little knowledge of Harry Potter, but being of the Star Wars generation I was blown away by this film.This is the first film in a series of upcomings, but doesnt need an hour of boring storytelling to bring the veiwer up to speed. The story is told in the most interesting ways possible, keeping me entertained to the max, even though I had no idea what to expect, and seeing a film that wasnt really aimed at me. Harry Potter is the type of movie that makes your forget you live in reality, which in itself is the most fun you could have for 2 hours. It has a Lord of the Rings feel to it, in the way of it being a fantasy film. It doesnt need to explain why things are happening the way they are. They happen, and your happy with that. The characters are all very likable even the sinsister ones. Alan Rickman seems to be having the most fun as the villan Snape. Like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter has the sequel vibe all through it. 2 hours is clearly not enough time for the plot be be filled. However this movie uses its time very wise, and doesnt drag at any point. The special effects are excellent. We know brooms cant fly, and there are no two headed monsters, but if there were... maybe this is what they would look like. There is a scene where the charcters are pawns on a chess board, the effects look like something out of Jumangi. All in all, I had a big smile on my face in the end, as I turned to my nephew we both had the same idea...."Let's get back in line".

Summary: Pretty good
Review: I know alot of people weren't very pleased with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone,but I thought it was pretty good. I know they might have changed some parts or cut them out, but the movie makes up for it. It was humorous, and adventurous, not to mention a pretty talented cast. As long as they do their best I'm pretty sure the next one will be great, especially since the second book was one of my favorites. Just because the movie wasn't exactly like the book, doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie, I thought it was cool, because they stayed pretty faithful to the book, so yes, I think I'd reccomend Harry Potter and the Sorcere's Stone for anyone who likes adventure and likes to have fun.

Summary: ~THE ~BEST MOVIE EVER!/HARRY,HERMIONE AND RON ARE AMAZING~
Review: Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone was a very entertaining and enjoyable. The deleted scene "Finding Flamel" was a really funny sequence that shouldn't have been left out of the film. I personally wanted to find out more about the 3 little heroes played by Harry, Hermione and Ron, but it was still a delightful experience. The movie was nothing like the book as more people would say but the film had great moments just as well as the book did.
I rated this film 5 stars because of the effort that was put in the story from the very beginning, and i CAN'T wait until the second movie "Chamber Of Secrets" comes into theaters on Friday November 15th, 2002. Overall, I think the best part on the dvd was meeting the 3 little stars that made this movie possible, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint). GREAT FILM!!!
