imagine how much better this franchise would have been if alfonso cuarón had directed all of it

It is truly amazing 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 them 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…
Well directed, production design really came to life, much scarier, centered adaptation, better girl stuff.
I was disappointed to discover that rewatching this film, I wasn’t as invested as I used to be. This is often stated to be the best Harry Potter movie, and while it’s cinematography is spectacular and the visual effects and set design make this film even more of a visual marvel than the first two, the story suffers tremendously. Now I’m not saying that because it changed things from the books, but because the editing of the film and the writing of the screenplay makes each scene feel disjointed from the others. This might be because of the source material, however, as the third book doesn’t really have as strong a main storyline that the others do. While it’s visually incredible and has some fantastic moments, the film doesn’t pull me in as much nowadays.
perfect? I think yes.
honestly everything about this film is amazing. the cinematography, the color grading, the camera movement, the blocking, the pacing, the character writing, the direction, the score, the VFX that surprisingly hold up, everything is fantastic.
the second best HP film in my mind.
Every time I go back to the Harry Potter movies I find new admiration for Chris Columbus' two first entries, especially after having given the books a bit of a "read" (actually listen). While they carry that visual and formal mainstream clunk of many movies from the early 2000s, it's impressive how well they manage to take Rowling's buldgy books and pinpoint the precise bits that make it a story with a plot, while at the same time convincing us that we're entering a truly magical world. Given how wrong it could have gone, the effort should not be taken for granted.
Since Cuarón is the auteuriest director to ever enter the series, the party line is that he blesses…
Look at the reviews I have on the first two Potter movies. The Danes goes for here.
i solemnly swear i’m up to no good.
holy shit i’m shook. alfonso cuarón i love you for this. now i’m SUPER into harry potter. the first two were good but this one got me legit shaken up, can’t wait to continue and start goblet of fire.
