Fanatical fans of the books (in other words, just about everyone who has read them) should take a deep breath ('cause you have to breath first, make rude comments later) and prepare themselves to be thrilled (snicker). But first they have to remember that no movie could possibly fit in all of the endlessly inventive details author J.K. Rowling (accept for "Lord of the Rings"... imagin that...) includes or match the imagination of readers who have their own ideas (sincker again) about what Harry�s famous lightning-bolt scar looks (oh wrong!) like or how Professor McGonagall (moanes from the dungeon) turns into a cat (or why snape si attracted to older women). Move all of that over into a safe storage part of your brain (but sir, Phe wasn't born with a safe storage part in her brain) and settle back with those who are brand new to the story (yeah... like one person who can't read) to enjoy the way that screenwriter Steven Kloves (stinkey), production designer Stuart Craig (stinkyer), and director Chris Columbus (stinkyest) have brought their vision of the story to the screen. Even these days, when a six year old can tell the difference between stop-motion and computer graphics (try three year old), there are movies like this one to remind us of our sense of wonder (evil snicker) and show us how purely entertaining (OH SO WRONG!!) a movie can be. twitch |
