One of my all time favorites.
I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Really surprised me brilliant adaptation of the book
It was a good film with a good plot but by any means wasn't bad. The special effects weren't bad but ok, but this did come out in 2001. The story line wasn't as strong as I would have liked to have seen it but what I do know is the main actors in the first two films weren't great.The casting in general was really good cause from prisoner of Azkaban and onwards, the acting got better and so did the movies but, it wasn't believable. Of course Snape was brilliant! Over rated is an understatement though. There are too many people that now they've seen Harry Potter, won't give any other movies a chance because apparently 'nothing is as good as Harry Potter'. It is a great franchise and everything but apparently they can't see anything else. Most people won't give other films like my personal favourites, lord of the rings and the hobbit, a chance because 'it's not harry potter'. I'm not against liking this franchise but am against because you like it you can't like anything else.Not the best movie out of the eight made but from prisoner of Azkaban and onwards are great!
This movie has all aspects of a great movie. It is a megesticall mistory and is good for all ages
'Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (2001)' is starting to show its age in a few areas - though the majority of special effects still hold up remarkably well - and the young actors have certainly come a long way since this first outing, but this is an entertaining and endearing experience that's as enchanting as it is exciting. It does a great job of setting up the vibrant 'wizarding world' of which we're all now so familiar, it has some fantastically interesting concepts and well executed ideas and it is surprisingly funny at times, too. While it may now be perhaps the 'worst' in the series, aside from 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (2016)' (which doesn't really count, of course), it is still a wonderfully charming and enjoyable ride that's better than most of today's blockbusters. 7/10
