Harry Potter people....
What did you all think of the movie version of The Prisoner of Azkaban?
I rented it last night and watched it with my parents, brother, and his g/f. My mom thought it was all right, everyone else hated it.
Well, I didn't hate it. I think I liked Chamber of Secrets a little bit more, but overall, I'd give it 3 stars. (Note, I'm regarding it as a movie-watcher, not as a fan of the books.)
What I liked:
*A darker, angrier Harry. Finally he's had it with the Dursleys' crap. I also liked how he was willing to bend the rules and kill the ones he thought were responsible for his parents' death. He also has a miss my daddy complex like Luke Skywalker.
*Speaking of Harry, Daniel Radcliffe is growing up to be a handsome young fella. I'll say no more until after he turns 18.
*Hogwarts' cool gothic look.
*The theme of misunderstood outsiders, including Harry, Sirius Black, and that big flying birdlike thing.
*Draco gets his butt kicked. At last. Twice.
*The effects.
*The music.
What was meh:
*Is it just me, or did they make Ron look more foolish?
*The movie slows down significantly in the middle and I found parts of it a little confusing.
