Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) by Rox22 — 21 Apr 2015
I will say that I did try to avoid this series for as long as I could when it first came out, but after the first DVD release I got curious and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I am so happy I gave this a chance.
The Harry Potter universe is a rich one that is filed with great fantasy and wonder which, at that point, wasn't that common.
Great visuals, nice acting and some masterful writing. Not to mention the grand set pieces,perfect wardrobe, and timeless musical score.
Perhaps the only real gripe I have with the first movie is that feels like one very long prologue,focusing a bit to much on introductions and setting up future plot points.
Overall:
HPatSS is a great introduction to the series, but feels like it lacks a strong enough plot of its own. Still a great movie that helped me become a fan of the series.
