Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) by Jose Miguel G — 12 Nov 2018

Strong in its ingenuity as a child's film, yet, respectful enough of its source material, Christopher Columbus managed to craft a solid fantasy-adventure flick, providing the esthetics and production design that'll define the franchise for its unavoidable further entries, with a great cast behind it including the rising star Daniel Radcliff, and intriguing direction, but with a constant sense of wanderlust and whimsical discovery proper enough for a series quick starter.
