Review of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) by Prudent00 — 13 Jul 2011
That statement that this film is the best of the set is incontrovertible!
Stylish, menacingly darker, engaging and the funniest movie of the franchise. Alfonso has done an amazing job in the seat of the director, as has john Williams with the soundtrack, the cinematographer and the CGI wizards.
The only drawback is the questionable appointment of Michael Gambon as the replacement of the late Sir Richard Harris for the role of Albus Dumbledore. E.g. he personifies this character with an Irish accent simply because he thought it was a good idea, and he never reads the source material from where his character is derived from and only depicts his characters in a way he that reflects his own personality (grumpy, dull and moody). Hence, we lose the mystic and omnipresence that personifies Dumbledore in the novels.
Enough of the little snag, don't let it spoil the movie because this is the best of the set.
