Summary: Souless and Cold
Review: This film was pure, glitzy drivel. It clearly had no heart. How sad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Riley twins vote this as THE BEST MOVIE IN THE WORLD!!!
Review: This movie rox!! We have read all the books and the movie is just as good. We cannot wait until the other movies come out but as for this one:
1:) It special effects are cool
2:) It has extra things like when Dudley got stuck behind the glass at the zoo.
3:) It has MOST of the events in the books.

If you want to see a good movie, watch Harry Potter!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved It
Review: I read the books for the first time just before the movie came out so everything was fresh in my head. I loved the movie, but not as much as I loved the book. Don't get me wrong, the movie was exceptional and wonderfully done, but there were some things left out of it. This is understandable. If they brought the book over exactly as it is written it would be too long.
The movie looked excactly how I pictured the book. Everything was a treat for the eyes. They casted incredibly well. I didn't see anything that was contradictory from my mental image. That is saying a lot for an adaption.
The movie is great fun to watch, but for the avid Harry Potter fan, I think the book is twice as fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, I loved the books. And the first time I saw the movie, I was very impressed with it and I was ecstatic that they kept true to the book. But then I saw it a second time....
It's not that it's a bad movie, but, like someone else said, it DID feel rushed. They tried to hurry along scenes that should have been way more drawn out. I know it's a movie aimed at kids, but it could have been longer and people would not have minded if the movie had just gone at an even pace. But it was rushed and it skipped over important scenes and rushed on to the next one. And, although the kids were cute, their acting was not top-notch. I know, I know, I can't demand Oscar-winning acting from kids, but their expressions of fright were so fake and they just didn't act natural. Seriously, when you are scared, do you slowly back away with your eyebrows up and your mouth open and your eyes bugged out??? They were just trying too hard.

Nevertheless, I gave the film 4 stars because it was very faithful to the book which I appreciated and it was a good movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter Comes to Life on the Screen
Review: I have been a Harry Potter fan for quite some time and have read all the books out so far, some more than once. I loved the first movie and even tho Harry seemed like a real character the movie gave him a 3D quality all his own. I think it helped to understand the story line better to have read the books. Now when I read the next book I will be able to see the characters in my mind's eye and live their adventures along with them.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I liked the movie but
Review: I liked the movie, I really did but I think the only reason that I liked it so much when it first came out was because I got to see it before a lot of people. The movie is good and the acting is good among certain characters, mainly the adults, but what can you say because the kids were in their first movie. A lot of people said the movie was nothing like the book but it actually was totally like the book, which it should be! The only main differences were just the parts they had to leave out which makes sense because other wise the movie would have been anylonger. The movie is so much like the book that I couldn't read the book after I saw the movie because it was exactly like MOST of the scenes. Notice i did say most. The movie is a TON like the book but it's not totally exact with every detail but it's very close. People will argue but they'll get over it and if they don't they are just doing it for show as everyone does. Anyway the movie is good but if you've just read the book DON'T go see it. I hadn't read the book for over 2 yrs and I'm glad I hadn't because it left me wondering what happened. If you have just read the book I would really not reccomend seeing it just because you'll be bored, in my opinion. If you are going to see the 2nd movie but want to read the book, READ IT NOW because the movie is said to be out in Novemeber and you shouldn't be reading it any later than now because otherwise you'll remember it all and I think it's best that you don't so it leaves the movie interesting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: Well now everyone who has read the book will have loved it(including myself) but i thought this film would have been way better.
I thought the special effects were very good fuffy the three-headed dog especially and it was very well acted.
However i thought that the different scenes just didn't string together, which in my opinion made the film all too rushed and another thing that was disapointing is that not all the facts are as they are in the book.
It's a film worth watching but after all the praise and fuss about it i was expecting better.

Rating: 5 stars
