Note de krish278
Where do I begin? Well, I am a great fan of the Harry Potter series. I have read it entirely around 4 times! Prisoner Of Azkaban was one of my favourites (The other is the 4th one). So, when the movie released, I naturally went for it First Day First Show. But I was let down badly.
The movie started with a bang. The scenes with Aunt Marge and the Knight Bus have been handled with care. Everything went on well till Harry reached school. The pace of the movie dropped dramatically. The interest was lost. Alfonso Cuaron has done a good job as a director, if not a flawless one. The FX are gr8. The main performances are superb. But the script is a major drawback.
Steven Kloves has done a pathetic job while adapting from the novel. Anyone who has not read the book may even like the movie. But for those who have read it and loved it, they will be thoroughly disappointed as I have been. The movie just does not sustain the hype.
The biggest problem is that many loopholes are left in the story that are sure to catch the viewer's eye. For example, how did Sirius Black escape from Azkaban? Or why did Snape hate Lupin and Black so much? Why did Snape hate Harry's father (which should have been answered in the first part itself)? Don't they have exams at Hogwarts? Why did Harry think that his dad saved him from Dementors? Why was his patronus a stag? The list is endless.
Another problem are the parts missing from the movie. The parts where Harry hears his mum's scream (which gave me goosebumps when I read the book) are not shown well. The Quidditch Final is absent wherein Gryffindor wins. Characters like Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang are absent. They will play a very important part in the 4th and 5th part. Dumbledore is reduced to nothing. The fight between Ron and Hermione over Scabbers is badly executed. The part of Buckbeak's hearing is badly presented. I thought dementors glided in the air, not flew. The friendship between M/s. Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs is not even explained. The climax is weak. The explanation given by Black and Lupin is not satisfying. The humour is missing. Such crucial elements from the book are missing.
Gary Oldman does an atrocious job in portraying Sirius. Even the character is badly sketched (again...bad scripting). Sirius was to be a hardened man when he escaped from Azkaban. He was supposed to be everything that Gary Oldman's character in the movie was not. David Thewlis as Professor Lupin does not impress. Peter Pettigrew is horrible. However, Emma Thompson did a wonderful job as Professor Trelawney. She looks exactly like Trelawney.
All in All, PoA is a product which looks pretty but lacks substance. In the H.P. series, this is definitely the worst. Even Day After Tomorrow is better, which is saying something. One sometimes wonders, how could J.K. Rowling have let this happen.
For those who have not read the book, I give it 6/10, but for others, it is 3/10.

I had been reading a lot of bad word for this movie over the past two weeks. Just about no one had a single good word for it. However, I was adamant that I would watch it. I loved ID4 and did not mind Godzilla. So as soon as it released I went to see it.
First the plus points! The special FX are by far the classiest I have ever seen. Everything from the tornadoes in LA to the floods in NYC is a visual treat for the spectator. The scene where Lady Liberty is frozen is stunning. Full marks to Emmerich for that.
Secondly, Dennis Quaid delivers a decent performance. I had never liked him much. But, he is good in this movie. Jake Gyllenhaal is cute, but hasn't got much of a role to talk about. Sela Ward as Dr. Lucy Hall is excellent.
But only jazzy FX and good performances cannot make a movie great. The movie's greatest fault lies in the script. Emmerich the director is let down by Emmerich the story - writer. There are a lot of questions left unanswered in the movie. For example, why the sudden global warming? Moreover, why does it suddenly stop in the end? Dennis Quaid's analysis show that the superstorm would spread throughout the world and cause a new ice age. Then, why does it stop and clear at the tip of the United States. There are some other questions. The director could have added another 15 mins. to explain these plot holes.
Another problem is that it is too predictable. One can guess the next scene very easily. The backbone of ID4 was the witty oneliners and the well defined characters. Sadly, these qualities are absent in this venture.
All in all, DAT succeeds at some points but falters on others. Don't expect sense and logic. Do not expect a ID4 and you will not be disappointed. For FX lovers like me, do not miss the movie at any cost! I give it a 7/10.
