It is truly astonishing to discover what all can happen when you put a promising story that's full of imagination, wonder & endless possibilities into the hands of a master storyteller and watch him/her elevate it to a whole new level. Breaking from the monotony of the previous two chapters, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban is the first time we get a genuine taste of how magical, enchanting & mystifying the world of Harry Potter really is and the film as a whole is, in my opinion, the best instalment of the Harry Potter saga.
Based on J.K. Rowling's third novel & covering Potter's adventure during his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban is…
imagine how much better this franchise would have been if alfonso cuarón had directed all of it
While the last two films weren't nearly as good as I remembered them being as a kid, I actually forgot just how good this one really was. It's actually excellent.
I think we can all agree that the best thing that happened in the Potter franchise was replacing the director Chris Colombus with Alfonso Cuaron. Kinda interesting how you'd expect a guy like Colombus to make a family film based on previous efforts before this series (like Home Alone) but the guy who made a better film was Cuaron, the last guy you'd expect to see take over a family franchise (he previously made Y tu mamá también, a far from kid-friendly erotic piece). Cuaron brings forth a pulse that…
**Harry Potter Extravaganza (3/7)**
I actually haven't seen this one all the way from beginning to end before and I gotta say I was very surprised at how good this one was and I'm a little upset that I haven't taken the time to watch this one prior.
Very well done and honestly is in the running to be my personal favorite Harry Potter (albeit suffers imo a bit from the same problems from all the movies, it's just like slightly too long). Also, there's one thing that I wish was more fully explained on how it works and all, it gives us enough to have an understanding but it left me with questions about that concept in the end.
Also, Harry is very sassy in this movie and I called him Sassy Potter for the duration of the film.
6.5/10 - Azkaban is the point in the franchise where things took on a darker tone which is a wonderful step away from the cheesy first two films. Cuarón ups the game in every way but I still find it oddly unmoving. It is definitely a move in the right direction for the Harry Potter movies though.
Liegt's an der Vorlage oder an Cuarón? Vielleicht an beidem, dass dieser Potter bis hierhin irgendwie der beste ist.
This one's at least passable as a movie. But no decision anyone makes in this movie, makes any sense. Every character is annoyingly stupid, and why don't they just time travel anytime anything bad happens.
My personal favourite of the entire franchise.
Prisoner of Azkaban is leaded by Alfonso Cuaron's excellent direction and some of the best performances from the main cast.
This is the point when the Harry Potter series went with the darker tone and honestly this is the one that did it the best.
