So incredibly gay. Emma Watson breathes like a hyperventilating cow and I think she means it to mean she's worried. Raddycliffe cannot act and I bet I could beat him up with my eyes closed. And dumbledore is lacking his dumbledorey-ness.
Everyone of these movies seem so shallow, and it makes the actual story seem ridiculous. And every time I'm hoping for something more, but now I know that it's never going to be perfect.
It's just a movie. A frustratingly bad one. But it's 'just a movie'. With kids who were cute on the first movie, but have grown up to look completely different from what I imagined them to be. This is what happens when you try to make movies like this. Ahh, it's just a movie, might as well try and find something entertaining about it. There are a couple, couple, funny parts. Though the cast isn't good enough to make any unintentional ones. If I know what I'm talking about.

The third Harry Potter movie is a good movie. Compared to the first and second one it is different and I think that the first two movies were better. But with a new director is it normal that everything is different, and that doesn't mind a lot. There also a lot of things better, like the clothes. The Trio wears actually nice clothes and that is way better.
A lot is skipped though, like Cho Chang. She appears in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but in the book, she is there in POA. Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup for the first time, since Harry joined the team. I think that's very important. And at the so-called finale, in the Shrieking Shrack, Sirius and Remus are supposed to tell Harry a lot of important stuff about his parents and their past, but they don't. At the end Harry was supposed to get a note from Sirius that he was allowed to go to Hogsmeade in the future and then Ron gets his owl because it was Sirius' fault that he has rat was gone. The movie is 141 minutes, that 20 minutes shorter than Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, while the third book has more pages! The things that happen were not the same with the book either. With Christmas Harry gets a broom from Sirius, in the movie he gets it at the end. Ron and Hermione are not allowed to go into the Three Broomsticks, but in the book they're hearing too that Sirius is Harry's godfather. And so there more things that are wrong or missing.
The new cast is casted well, like David Thewlis as Remus Lupin, Gary Oldman as Sirius Black, Timothy Spall as Peter Pettigrew. The animations are very good, like buck beak, Hagrid's monster book for his classes, the dementors etc. I really loved the scene when Harry flies on Buckbeak. They filmed that so well.
Of course, the third book is hard to film, because there happen a lot of things and the scenes that Harry and Hermione are going back in time are very good too, but little thins are missing, that did happen in the first movies. And who knows, the fourth movie is in theaters now, and maybe that one is the best.

Watching all "Harry Potter" movies I have to say that there was one weak director (Yates), two good one's, but one who really stood out - and it's Chris Columbus. Nobody of the other three guys got it done so beautifully to make a film out of this amazing story of the wizard world around Harry Potter.
The great thing in Columbus's Potter's is that nearly everything is like it's described in the books, and it should be the case. He didn't change many things, the important scenes are all included and there are no new story lines like in the last movies.
So, why "just" nine points? The reason is that in my opinion "The Chamber of Secrets" has the weakest narrative of all seven books (or movies). Don't get me wrong, it's still unbelievably good and exciting, but for me, it's just the least great.
Conclusion: Awesome movie, nine out of ten points, and sadly the last Potter with Chris Columbus as director and Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore (RIP Richard Harris, the greatest Dumbledore the world could imagine).

This movie is a delight for those of all ages.
I have seen it several times and each time I am enchanted by the characters and magic.
The cast is outstanding, the special effects delightful, everything most believable.
You have young Harry, a mistreated youth who is "Just Harry" to himself. And then, he embarks on a most beautiful adventure to the Hogwarts school.
He meets Ron and Hermione, one an adorable mischief maker, the other a very tense and studious young lady.
Together, the trio try to set things right in the school.
It's the ultimate fantasy for young and old.

Fast and Furious won't let you down. Even it is a 6th installment on this series it still rocks. Movie is turbo loaded popcorn entertainmet loaded with testosteroine and smell of gas. The story isn't the brightest, but that can easilly forgive because this movie is exactly what you are waiting for. Movie is full of great action scenes which are so exaggeration that you can only laugh for them. Thankfully movie doesn't take itself too seriously, you understand that at the latest when Dwayne Johnson is to be called as a sumerian Thor. With the previous movie I was hoping that next movie get it's bad guy from Jason Statham. It didn't became truth in this movie, but the end scene promises that Jason Statham will be the bad guy in next installment. Can't wait to see that. Leave your brains to cloakroom and enjoy great entertainmen

I haven't watched the first four so this is my first F&F movie. I really like action movies and this did look pretty fun, so I decided just to start at the good bit. I have often heard people describe these movies as guilty pleasures but they shouldn't be. There is nothing embarrassing about liking this film or the sixth instalment. These are sleek, supreme, well executed thrill machines which know they're ridiculous and OTT and don't care at all. Ironically, that improves everything. By the sound of it, the others were just about car races, but this one is about Dominic Toretto and his hugely likable crew robbing a bank in Brazil. Dwayne Johnson in a career best performance is the agent who comes to Brazil to stop them. As one would expect, this couldn't care less about those who aren't action fans, and the length of 131 minutes is a bit much. The film does go on a bit, but it compensates with its nutty, jaw dropping, ballistic finale in which a safe is towed through the streets of Brazil.
Dwayne Johnson is excellent, and his character easily overshadows Vin Diesel's deeply boring protagonist. The film contains the best 'One use of strong language' in a 12 ever, and the script is surprisingly good. It's humorous and genuinely fun, and the characters are all likable. Justin Lin, despite his evident lack of physics knowledge, shows himself to be a thoroughly able action director. Some set pieces work better than others (for example a car race in the middle of the film is well done while a train set piece is just a bit much) but the film nails the right tone throughout. It's got plenty of humour and never takes itself too seriously. This is just pure fun. No sentimentality. No cringe inducing love stories. Barely any exposition. Just pure, endless fun. This is the ultimate popcorn flick and is actually a bit different from other movies of its type as its set pieces are so OTT they are pretty much unforgettable. So yes it rudely ignores all of those who aren't already fans and yes it's too long and yes it suffers from the boring action hero problem that plagued the Bourne and Mission Impossible films, but who cares? It's fun. Sometimes that's all we need. Get some popcorn. Sit back. Enjoy. You'll be glad you did.

After I have seen and heard awful reviews, this movie was quite a surprised to me. Sure it does not feature Paul Walker or Vin Disel!? Lucas Black did a good job filled in to the main role. As we all know, Street racing and customized street car with unique painting originated in Japan, and I thought it was brilliant idea that this movie took a place in Japan. Sure it has a quite a few flows as American kid never ended up going to Japanese traditional public school. And Lucas Black's military dad never had to live in that pig stay. They do have a nice western houses for them to live either on base or near base, but never lived downtown area where 30 miles off from base... The drive sequels are great as first two movies in different way. It was such a treat to see them on street of Tokyo. And Those unknown Asian actors contributed quite a depth of characters to make this eyecady/popcorn movie more realistic. It still amazes me that The Fast and Furious movies always have been meant to guilty pleasure/pop corn movies, but it always has great and strong character developments and cultural portraits.

I just got through watching this movie. Well, to get to the point,2 Fast 2 Furious makes the Fast and the Furious look like a classic. I really loved the first one! But 2 fast just does not last...A really bad script. Also, very shy of some good character actors. I love the cars however. Also, I guess Paul Walker does not have to act. He's a good looking California-looking beach guy. Anyway, it is as though this movie was just thrown together. I don't even think Vin Diesel could have helped the film.

OK, i really dont know what the other person who rated this movie was talking about. I liked this movie, and even though it wasn't my favorite movie it was still a good movie. I thought it had good action scenes and the actors were good. They weren't the best actors in the world, but do you expect every movie to have academy award winners in it? Movies are for entertainment not critisism. If you dont like the actors or the plot dont watch the movie! I thought this movie was good, and Vin Diesel is a very sexy talented man.
