Summary: This is a great movie
Review: I am writing this review because I am a tad bit pissy on something. How long has harry potter been around? what two three years. And now that they have made a movie....all the sudden people are trying to tear a good thing down...a product for satan...give me a break. What weak minded people we have out there. yes the tellie tubbies were scary....but a product of satan..i don't think so.

Come off it people. It is a good entertaining movie for all ages....I can not wait to own it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good but not great.
Review: This was a pretty good movie. It certainly has some wonderful visuals. However, the problem I have with HARRY POTTER, is Harry Potter himself! Harry is simply not very involving. Clearly the more interesting characters are his two friends Ron Weasley and especially Hermione Granger.

As for its visuals, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is very impressive. (Loved the paintings that moved). The giant troll, I thought looked too much like a bigger and uglier version of SHREK. Fluffy, the giant three-headed dog was great. Other characters like the centaur less so. (Ray Harryhausen's centaur in THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD was much more interesting). Folks, just because a movie has a lot of CGI effects doesn't necessarily make it a great movie. Character development also counts, and Harry Potter simply lacks some of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Harry Potter movie
Review: The movie was very great, they stayed loyal to the book most of the time, although they had to change some of it to make it shorter or else it would of been hours. Some people say a lot of the suspense was missing because it was fast passed, I think they could of had a little bit more suspense, but other then that it was GREAT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!
Review: Harry potter the movie was the best! The movie isnt scary but it is very intense so I would recomend it to anyone over 7 years old! I would also recomend that you read the book first because I read the books and it seemed to make more sense to me! Oh and if you want to know their accents were charming! Even if you dont like the books you would like the movie because the movie is kind of different from the book in a few areas! Harry potter the movie is very graphic!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - the movie
Review: I took my almost 5 year old son to see it, and we both loved it. Having read the book a few times, it was somewhat disappointing to have a lot cut out of the movie, but it would have been much longer had it all been included! At times, I felt rushed through the movie, but it was funny, endearing, scary at times for my son, and well worth the wait!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter
Review: This movie was nothing like I had expected,it was better than what I thought it would be.It's almost exactly like the book,except they left out some stuff like in the book after the giant chess game Harmione goes with Harry to the next room and there are seven bottles filled with potions on a table.Three bottles are poison,one goes through the purple fire(back),one goes through the black fire(forward),and two are wine.But in the movie after the giant chess game Harmione stays with Ron.They left out the room with the potions in it.But it was still the best movie I saw all year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Amazing!!! The ¿Star Wars¿ of Children¿s Movies
Review: Normally movies based on books are pale imitations of their paper counterparts. Few movies are exceptions to this rule. Jurassic Park was one of them. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is another one.

For those who have not read the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone the movie is an adaptation of T.K Rowling's best-selling children's fantasy book and it follows the adventures of a mistreated young boy who lives with his aunt, uncle and cousin whose life changes when discovers his true, mystical heritage and the adventures that follow as he battles the forces of evil while learning to control his great powers at the mysterious Hogwart's school of witches and wizards.

The specials effects in this movie are right up there with that of Star Wars. You'll marvel at the castles, magic spells (the invisible cloak) and other medieval type characters like the Centaur, the three-headed dog, the Troll, the Unicorn and other witches and wizards and all the other ULTRA-COOL things in the movie.

Best Scenes of the Movie: The two best scenes in this film that REALLY sell the movie are the Quidditch Game scene (right up their, if not BEYOND, the Pod-Racer scene in Phantom Menance) and the life-sized Wizard's Chess scene at the end of the movie.

As a book translation, this movie is DEAD ON TARGET with the book. No plot devices, etc were changed. However, it is not a complete translation. A lot of the "filler" material from the book was left out which is just as well. The movie runs a little long at about 2 ½ hours, but it is 2 ½ hours of perhaps the best movie you'll ever see or have seen all year.

Clearly, this is the best movie I have seen all year long, and that says a lot!!! Appropriate for ALL ages, you'll love this movie if you are an adult watching it with your children or if you are a couple on a date or if you're a group of friends cruising the night away.

There is a very good reason why the Harry Potter books have been the rage for the past few years and seeing it play out on the big screen just reinforces what everyone has been hyping about all along.

Highest Recommendation

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A teriffic movie
Review: The first Harry Potter movie was written so wonderful. It was scary, with neat magic as well as outstanding action. This was also a funny movie at most every part. I don't know my favorite part. They were all so good. So if you love Harry Potter, you'll love this movie.
