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
