Summary: A wonderful performance by all!!!
Review: I've read several articles in various papers that have been slamming the Harry Potter movie, but after seeing it twice I am convinced it is a great show! I loved all the actors -- I do think people who aren't familiar with the books might be confused by the movie or find it a very quick-paced, but for those well versed in Rowling's series the Harry Potter movie will be nothing but pure enjoyment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I can't possibly imagine anything better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the best movie of the year. It is for adults and children of all ages. There isn't a thing missing. There was drama, action, mystery, comedy and love between friends. It literally has something for everyone. I highly reccomend this movie for absolutely anyone.

Review: it was a great movie and it had very cool special effects.If you ever watch it bring extra food because it is a long movie. remember it doesn't show everything that is in the book. j.k rowling is a very good fantasy writer.

Summary: Harry Potter and the reviewer's words
Review: The Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone is a very different kind of moive. It goes along with the book very much so. I think you should read the book before you go see the movie. You will be able to follow along with the moive better if you do. So go see it I think you and all of your loved ones would love. But most of all your kids will love it. That's my review.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! I loved Harry Potter!
Review: OK, let's get the facts straight: I'm an 17-year-old girl who's not a Harry Potter fanatic and just finished reading the first book (for the first time) just about a week ago before I saw the film. I was really surprised last night (on November 16th) when my mom took me and three of my best friends to see the Harry Potter movie on opening night as a birthday surprise from them (I do turn 18 on November 19th, by the way). We all thought it was excellent! Two of my friends who went to see it with me were both 19 and 20, and the other was 18, a month ahead of me. My 19-year-old friend is a Harry Potter fanatic (she has read all the books, knows everything about the Harry Potter series, and has all the Harry Potter fan merchandise). The rest of us, including my mom, had just read the first book. Anyway, we all ended up loving it!

We all thought the film went along pretty well with the book, although they did leave some parts of the book out in the film. I guess the reason for that was because of timing. After all, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE was about 2 and 1/2 hours long! The actors who played all the characters were especially amazing and fun to watch. They had great chemistry and seemed to know what they were doing, even though some of the child actors didn't have a lot of previous acting experiences. Oh well, you have to start somewhere, I guess! The adult actors were really great, too. Nearly all the actors looked the way I had imagined the characters from the book. The film gave an eerie, mysterious, dark, and magical feel. The special effects, sound effects, and visual effects were just oustanding and incredible - you had to see it to believe it! My favorite sceen in the entire film was probably the big chess board sceen. My two favorite actors in the film are Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint (who plays Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley). I think they were the best! The directing, storyline, screenplay, and plot were all excellent, too.

Anyway, my whole point with this review is to GO SEE HARRY POTTER! You're going to love it. You can see it even without taking your kids but I recommend that you read the book first because if you go and see the film without ever reading the book, then you might not understand some stuff in it. I also urge you not to take children who are under the age of 7 - they might get scared at some parts. Plus, the film is just so long that they probably won't be able to sit for that long unless they are huge Harry Potter fans who would be able to sit quietly for that long just because they want to see the Harry Potter film. The film was amazing and outstanding! I strongly recommend the film to everybody who likes fantasy tales. Brilliantly done. I congradulate the entire cast and crew on a job well done and looking forward to the sequel and DVD which I am sure will have a ton of cool special features. A well-deserved A+! Go see HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE! :-)

Summary: It blew me away!
Review: This was an awesome movie! I own and have read all 4 books but it was a whole different ball game going to the movie. This had incredible special effects and leaves you wanting to watch more. I don't reccomend this to children under the age of 6, though. If you have read the book, you know that Professor Quirrel is the man with two faces. This is illustrated wonderfully, but would be a bit frightning to children. If you haven't read the book, go read it before you come or you will be lost with the story before the movie is half over! If you are wondering when the CHAMBER OF SECRETS will be in theaters, here is a clue. The cast has already started filming:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie I've Seen in a Long Time
Review: This movie was incredible! I felt like a child on Christmas morning. It is definitely the best movie I have seen in a very long time. The casting was amazing. The actors/actresses portrayed the characters just as I imagined in my head. The visual effects were incredible also. It made everything seem so real. The scenery looked so real, it was if there really was a Hogwarts or Diagon Alley. Chris Columbus did an excellent job of filming and I look forward to the next one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gilliam Would've done it better, in my Opinion
Review: Let me start out by saying that I think Monty Python veteran Terry Gilliam, one of the top choices for director of this film, would have made a great director for this. No offense to Chris Columbus, though I must say, I despised all the Home Alone films to this very day. Bicentenial man shouldn't be watched by anyone, it's that sappy. But, he managed to pull it off somehow, and what a great job he did. The effects were wonderful, especially that troll! Cleese was really funny as Nearly Headless Nick. Trust it to a true Python fan to list the cameos and python connections before the actual film, eh? Anyway, I hope that Rupert Grint and Emma Watson get great parts in other films later in their career, since they did so well in this. I hope that everyone enjoys this movie. Sure, I was a bit angry at the disappearance of one of my favorite characters, Peeves the poltergeist, but altogether, the film left me speechless. It's an amazing film. I'm glad it's doing so well. Just so I can let everyone know how much I truly wished Gilliam could've directed this, I'll add that the Wizard's Chess scene towards the end is incredibly similar to the Gilliam film Baron Munchausen, another wonderful film that fans of this film would enjoy, I'm sure.

Rating: 5 stars
