To me, this movie is perfection.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
I was sheltered as a kid by devout Lutheran parents. I was not allowed to see many movies and the Harry Potter movies was one of them. He uses witchcraft, which the Bible forbids using. However, I moved in with my Grandma and she let me watch it. I really liked it. I have only sat through it once but I enjoyed it. i do believe using witchcraft is wrong but for Pete's sake this is a FANTASY! Disney movies use magic and that was okay for me to see! I think this is fine, just have fun with it- I believe in God but I also believe that fake magic isn't going to hurt me-because I know not to use the real kind.
"Harry Potter and Sorcer's Stone" is a adventure, family and fantasy movie directed by Chris Columbus and was produced in 2001 in the USA. It is 2h 32min long. The most important characters are Harry, Ron and Hermine starred by the actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. The film tells the story about the 11 years old Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) how find out he's a wizard. In Hogwarts the magic school he leans more about his past and fight with his friends Hermine Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) aganst the evil. I like to interesting story and the world of wizards and witches but I didn't like many characteristics of the many characters.
I was 31 when my mother gave my 7 y/o son the first 3 books. I was not happy with her but I grudgingly sucked it up and started reading this one to him at bedtime. It didn't take long before I was jostling him awake to innocently ask, "I didn't wake you did I? Do you want me to quit reading so you can go to sleep?" Of course, what kid is going to say yes? The movie is every bit as engaging as the book. This is an adaptation, you can't map every paragraph of the book to the show or every frame of the show to the book but there's nothing in the movie that should knock a fan of the book out of the fantasy. Yes, both are definitely meant for kids but they are surprisingly adept at capturing the wistful, adult mind, as well. It has fantastic FX, an outstanding cast AND if you lay back and relax, the humor's snare will pull you right in. I love the books and the movies. This is my favorite of the movies because this is where the wonder starts. It is a great show and I can watch it every couple of years.
Ya~ When my first grade elementary school, my mom took me to watch the Harry Potter movie. Harry Potter series of movies really accompanied I grow up.
