Summary: The Best Movie Ever
Review: I have watched tons of movies ranging from horror, to comedy, to romance (not really) but I have never, I swear, seen such a movie as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Our school took us to the Avant- Premiere and it was fabolous. We all clapped at the end till our hands were sore. This is why I want to thank everyone who made this movie possible, from directors to actors. Nonetheless there is no one I would like to thank other than JK Rowling. Superb!

Summary: They Slaughtered it!
Review: Don't get me wrong, I found the movie quite enjoyable, but didn't they say that they'd stay true to the book? I mean it's one thing to leave a few things out, that's inevitable, but it's quite another to change them entirely! The whole Norbert thing was totally different, so when Harry first meet Malfoy, they cut out important scenes at the end, as were several other things. It just kind of annoyed me! The casting however was quite awesome. All the main characters were about perfect in my opinion, but they weren't developed as well, nor was a lot of the storyline. Bottom line, as with just about everything else--THE BOOK WAS BETTER!!!

Summary: The Number One movie on my Top Ten List, for 2001
Review: "Harry Potter" it's a beautiful, wonderful, and very charming film, this a film, that will not dissapoint, neither fans of the book, and no fans, the film is based upon the first book, they did cut, some stuff, but it still is a wonderful movie, many people mistake Daniel Radclffe's acting for bad acting, he is supposed, to act in a subtle way, a very simple way, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson (I LOVE YA!), do a simply wonderful, job, and so do all the actors, Can't wait for the sequel!

Summary: Very good!
Review: The first time I heard that they were making a Harry Potter movie, I must confess that I didn't think that it would be very good. I ABSOUTELY LOVE the books , but I didn't think that the movie could capture the real greatness of the story. So much of the book is in your imagination, it's created just the way you want it to be, in a movie it appears the same to millions of kids.Nevertheless I was very excited when it did come out and I, along with half our town, went to see it on opening night.It was very good actually better than I expected but it did leave out details that make the book what it is.I'm in no way discouraging you to go see it, it was great but I would have sat through a 4 hour movie to get details.
(P.S. I did hear that an UNCUT version will be available on DVD)

Summary: Not a very original movie(Star Wars saga rip-off)!
Review: Valdemort(let's call him Darth Vader), killed Harry's father(let's call him Anakin). Now, Harry's father failed to stop "the dark side" led by Valdemort(Darth Vader). And then, Hagrid(let's call him Obi Wan) gives away Harry(let's call him Luke) to his uncle and aunt(let's call them Uncle Owen and Aunt Berru) to protect him from Valdemort(Vader). And just like the Star Wars movies, his uncle and aunt doesn't wanna give him away. Hagrid(Obi Wan) then comes back later in Harry's life to teach him about wizardry(the force), and help him defeat "the dark side". Then, Harry(Luke) manages to defeat Valdemort at the end of the movie(.ala. Luke and Vader .ala. ROTJ).This movie may be ok for children and people who doesn't want more than some entertainment, but for me as a movie fan, this movie is a rip-off! Excuse me for not spelling the names right.

Summary: A Great Movie... can't wait for the next offering.
Review: This was a great movie, not just for the little-ones, but for the whole family. We thoroughly enjoyed the photography quality, the characters, and the special effects. It held true to the book 99% of the time. I whole heartedly recommend it, not just to Harry Potter fans, but to everyone who wants to be entertained with a cinema-treat. Eye candy for everyone.
A must see on the big screen.

Summary: Potter flawed. How not to transistion from book to film
Review: The best thing about going to this movie is watchig the trailer for the new Scooby Doo movie. The trailer was short, original, dramatic, suspenseful, funny. Well done. All of the things that Harry Potter was not. I will be frank. The Harry Potter film was long, boring and sterile. It's a case study in how not to transistion book material to film. Yes dialoge should be taken from the book. But the visuals should satisfy the expectations of theater patrons. Not just theatergoers who happened to have read the book. The Potter production team should make intense action really intense! Make key drama really dramatic! Give characters real character! The production team should use impressive special effects. [Another customer's] review attempts to compare Potters special effects with Star Wars and his comparison of the Quidditch game to The Pod racing scene fron The Phantom Menace. Potter's special effects are a long, long way from such quality! Potter's directors were probably forced to give a middle of the road portrayal that leaves the audience much room to imagine how key scenes could have been shot or enhanced. That is the job of the book reader not the movie viewer. Book readers and movie viewers have two different objectives. Those who watch the Potter flick should prepare for a movie that never deviates beyond mediocrity -- it sticks to the book in a manner that forces viewers to constantly make their own visualizations from the visualizations shown on screen. Again, that should not be required with a solid movie. The Potter film is far from solid. Those who have not read the book will come away from this film feeling as though they watched a book. A book that was well written but not well visualized on the big screen. Viewers will also feel as though they have seen this story in many other children/teen oriented films. I have many wonderful movies that were made for all audiences (ie. Lion King, Shrek, various Disney classics, etc.) therefore I have no bias against such films. Potter failed due to poor directing and poor screenplay (if any). The material was there for a wonderful picture but it was "watered down". But it's still a long, long way from a classic movie. Save your money or see Shrek -- the best movie released this year!
