HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
THE MOVIE WAS GOOD BUT IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THE TREND OF THE FIRST TWO MOVIES. IT DOES PREPARE YOU FOR THE 4TH MOVIE, AS IT GETS "DARKER" AND LESS "ANIMATED", MORE PG-13, AS HARRY AND THE REST OF THE CREW MATURES.

HAROLD POTTER MOVIES ARE THE WORST EVER!!!
Please,Please,Please Warner Bros Stop making these ridiculous H. Potter movies.They are really terrible and extremely overrated!!! Thumbs up to anyone who rates all of these H. Potter movies with 1 star or less!!! This goes for that stupid movies' part 4 that is out now!

A Needless Letdown
I was disappointed with this film but my reasons differ somewhat from those given by other reviewers. This one still has the technical excellence of the first two in terms of effects and production values. It also does a fair job of following the book although there are elements that have to be cut in any such adaptation. It is certainly a darker episode than the first two but so was the book. My complaint is different. The new director needlessly made changes that didn't have to be made.

Some of the changes involve sets. The feel of the story is different. There is no real story telling reason for the change; it seems the changes were made for their own sake.

Other changes that seem to be made for their own sake do involve the story line. Nothing was accomplished by the changes. They don't seem to have added to the story and, I must admit, they don't really detract all that much. They are just different without having to be. It is almost as if the book was not good enough. That is a far cry from a book being too difficult to film.

The story involves Harry's 3rd year at the Hogwarts Academy for wizards. Once again, skullduggery is afoot and Harry and his friends are intent on straightening things out. This time, a fearsome wizard has escaped from prison and it is common knowledge that the wizard wants Harry dead. His being Harry's Godfather makes the tale more convoluted and the twists and turns really start occurring when many of the characters are not who they seem to be.

It's a good movie adaptation of a book but it is not in the same league as the others.
