Summary: A Must Have!
Review: I was a fan of the first Harry Potter film (released in 2001), but thought this one was even better. For those who have'nt read the book, the film offers you a chance to really get to know the characters. The film starts off with the second year of Hogwarts ready to begin. However Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), and Ron (Rupert Grint), have some troubles getting there. Which means a great action sequence! After arriving, they re-team with Hermione (Emma Watson), and the adventures begin. Because the characters are a year older, the story is more intence, mysterious, and exciting then in the original. Making this a wonderful sequel. All of the main characters are back, along with some new ones! And this is a great chance to see the late Richard Harris, as Dumbledore, in his final role. I don't want to give away the end of this film, (even though most of you probably know what happens) but the finale is not to be missed! This is one of the few movies based on a book that actually follows the book! It is a little long, coming in at over 2 hours and 40 minutes. For all Harry Potter fans,this is a must have!

Summary: Harry potter rocks.
Review: It is very hard to get a 31 year old man excited about the movie, but I could not wait for this one to come out. And of course I was the first one in line to see it. Brilliant movie.
First of all, movie was very closely kept to the book just like the first one, for which I must give thumbs up to the filmmakers.
Second, entire cast returned to recapture the magic in this chapter with some excellent editions, couple of which I must name: Kenneth Branagh portraying Gilderoy Lockhart. When I was reading the book, person I pictured in my mind as professor Lockhart was exactly who I saw in the movie. Kenneth Branagh did an amazing job delivering his character. Jason Isaacs portraying Lucius Malfoy - larger then life performance. What a cast. Brilliant performances all over.
Third, for all who are worried about the length of the film: it is non-stop action. There is not even one boring second in this movie. At the end of it I could not believe that almost 3 hrs had past. I did not want it to end.
Forth, visual presentation of this movie is immaculate. Special effects are incredibly well incorporated with real characters. People involved in creating such perfection definitely deserve recognition.
As far as the story goes, I trust everyone interested in watching it has read the book or at least has seen the first movie. This chapter covers the second year of school for Harry. Everyone is a little older (and not just characters - actors as well) and a little wiser. Story is getting more complex and challenges are more frightening and harder to overcome (its going to get harder as each year goes by). It is an amazing story and it was presented in an amazing way.
This movie is better then the first one - as hard as this may be to believe.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Review
Review: I am a junior in high school, but I love the Harry Potter series. This movie is the best Harry Potter movie yet. This movie is darker than the first movie, however, it is still very good. Ginny Weasly is featured very predominately in this film. Also Tom Riddle's character is portrayed very well. The actress that plays Ginny is a very good actress. Daniel Radcliffe does a very very excellant job. Rupirt Grint and Emma Watson also do a very excellant job as well. This movie was so good, I can't wait until 2004 when the next movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, comes out in the theaters. Good job Daniel, Rupirt, and Emma, great movie. The same of all of the other characters: Percy, Fred George, Oliver, Draco, Richard Harris (Proffessor Dumbledore), Proffessor McGonnagal, Crabbe, and Goyle, Proffessor Snape, and Hagrid. Once again, Great Movie, I would totally recomend buying the movie.

Summary: MMM, Isaacs and Branagh
Review: Absolutely brilliant British actors in a wonderful movie. The children are a bit more polished, though Radcliffe's performace is still a tad stiff. Wonderful effects (loved the Quidditch, the spiders terrified me), but Isaacs and Branagh are a delight to watch. Its a good thing they were never in a scene togehter, or something would have exploded. As it was, the dueling scene sparked with Rickman and Branagh, and I almost died from the sexy badness of Isaacs in all of his scenes. Harris' performance is much better than the first movie, and its a shame that we will not see him anymore. I did miss a few scenes-the Halloween party and the Valentines Day scenes namely, but everything fit together pretty seemlessly, and I can't wait for the fourth when Isaacs makes his return.

Summary: A fun romp
Review: You'll enjoy it a lot more if you've read the book. Otherwise, I don't think there's anything crafty about it, but it's tons of fun. The major drawback to the film is something I've never encountered in a movie before--an overwhelming musical score. The music is so overdone, so dramatic, so loud, that it distracts from the movie. I've never actually been in a movie where such a thing was noticeable before, so I thought it was very unusual.

Summary: Reviews by FreaK
Review: Ok, I was kind of disappointed with this movie because they left out the WHOLE Deathday party! They left out many of the good parts. Although I do understand that if they followed the book exactly, it would turn out being 5 hours long. Dobby looked a bit...uglier...than I had expected...other than those couple o things, the movie was great. The special effects were very good, once again. I think they could've done better with the music...it was pretty much the same as the music in the Sorcerer's Stone. Oh, well. That didn't bother me much. I'm definatly gonna buy this DVD! Also, I think the Basilisk was very well done ^___^ It looked a lot how I imagined it in the book! It was a cute little fella! Although not as cute as Draco Malfoy! ^_____^

Summary: Chamber of Secrets was better then the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was a great movie for everyone. Chamber of Secrets was better then Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I saw this movie opening day (and trust me, you meet some weird Harry Potter fans there). This movie is worth every cent you pay for it.

Summary: Why I love Harry Potter?
Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets was the best movie I have seen in a long while. I love everything about Harry Potter, because I am kind of like him. What I mean is that, I was adopted by some very nice people and i am now 13 almost 14 years old. I love how Hermonie is a sweet and very smart girl, I wish I was just like her, I love how Ron is a very cute, and nicly mannered boy, he is very funny, and he would make a very nice, neat and cool friend. Harry Potter, he is the kind of kid that you would love to be around,he is always there if you need a shoulder to cry on, he is always there if you need someone to stand up fr you. The DvD, is very cool,I am a very big Harry Potter fan, He has Bravery that i have never heard of, It's very amazing. I love to watch it over and over again. Why i love Harry Potter is a queation that a I have to ask my self, i love it because it deals witha lot of problem that the reaL WORLD DOSE. I Love the British Language, I have British in me. I can sit for hours and hours and read Harry Potter, I have read each one about 100,000 times. I really can't wait till the third and forth come out, I love the concept that the author, Rolling ,had come up with.

Summary: AWESOME MOVIE- BETTER THAN FIRST!
Review: This movie is awesome- no words can desribe how great it is. The Chamber of Secrets is better than The Lord of the Rings, which is a boring movie. There is comedy, and lots more excitement everywhere you turn. The ending of the movie is a big twist, and is very heart pounding. This is my absolute favorite movie of all time. I will never get tired of the movie! Go and get it now!!
