Review: Alright, definitely better than last time, i think it was way more true to the book, but maybe it is just coz i havn't read the book in ages. also the acting was much better.

Review: First, my negatives:

My biggest problem with the movie was the way they drew out some quick book scenes and because of that, left out little things that would have been good to put it.
Like: the spider scene was way too long. It was dumb, even. I loved it in the book.
The Quidditch match, with Malfoy and Harry racing for the Snitch. It seems to me they were making it look like Harry and Malfoy were equals. (Riiight ... Harry's MUCH better than Malfoy)
I would have LOVED to have Valentine's day, it would have made sense to focus a little more on Ginny, if only just some of the "Percy bullied Ginny into taking Pepper-up Potion because she was looking pale" scene, Ginny being a cat-lover, Fred and George trying to cheer her up by covering themselves with boils and jumping out at her :) ... Also, Filch being a Squib would have been good to add. <shrug> Oh, well.
And I miss the real ending.

Good things:

Lucius Malfoy. Oh my gosh, he was soooo cool. He was so evil, it was awesome. Every time he came on screen, I was just like, Oh! It's Lucius! (I wish he'd fought Arthur in Flourish and Blotts, though ... )
The whole scene in the Chamber was really good. The dueling Club was cool as heck, with Snape looking scarier than ever as he realizes Harry speaks Parsletongue - which sounded so cool.
Lockhart was hilarious. He was so great. Always posing, and Hermione and the rest pf the girls sighing and staring at him ... :)
Dobby was funny. I did not picture him to be that ugly, but the personality was the same.

I thought CoS was really, really good. It was much better than the first movie, personally. If they continue to do better and better with the movies like they have so far ... yay for #3. (My favorite book so far ... can't WAIT for the movie)

(P.S. The footage - it's at the very very end. Good excuse to see it again!)

Review: Ii thought that CoS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I thought that the director was very faithful to the book and the only thing they skipped out was the death day party which was ok with me! in thought that all the actors did an excellent job and Rupert, Tom and Daniel looked hot as usual as did Sean!!! Emma looked very pretty and she has grown up sooo much, overall i give it 5/5
