Ok, so, I saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azaban Thursday at 11:59 on the IMAX. Here are my thoughts:

Short Version: I liked it

Long Version: ( Cut for those who haven't seen )

DUDE, YES, feel of book was nailed. I felt the cinamatography has a quirky feel that just expressed the overall feel of the book...

Wolf transformation~agreed.

7 hours!?!? You're INSANE! I bought my tickets online back on Sunday, then picked them up Wednesday after noon.

I mean, sure, I had to stand in line for 30 min... but 7 hours is insane!

*hands you a spellchecker*

So anyway....there was so much that annoyed me about this movie. Oh so much.

Like the first scene. Why was Harry using some random spell that doesn't exist to read his books, first of all, and then, why wasn't it explained what he was doing? How many people who haven't read the books will understand what that was about at all?

And Hermione with the werewolf call? I thought they only responded to calls from their own kind? As stated earlier in the film.

I'd say more right now, but then I am writing a review, and also, my L key is not working properly, so this is rather annoying.

::throws spellchecker away::

Hey, it's my journal, and I'll be as shitty of a speller as I want! =P

As far as explaining what Harry was doing in that scene, I really didn't feel that was neccasary. He was practicing his spells, and hiding it from Uncle Vernon - and even only the movie folk know his aunt and uncle hate magic, while at the same time, it was a bit of a joke - "Harry is playing with his wand under his covers at night." So that didn't really bother me.

You may have a point on the werewolf call. Or perhaps it was going "wtf is that lame ass howl? Let's go find out and kill it!"

But you did remind me of one last thing that really bugged me. In the last fucking scene, when he's flying on the 'bolt. The freeze frame they used of Harry's grin, with the fade... seriously, that was the worst way to end a film ever. I cringed.
