Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
Saw it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's been a couple of years since I read the book and this was good because I wasn't questioning what was in and what was out and what was artistic licence...something I did with The Lord of the Rings.
It will definitely be joining the previous two in my DVD collection later in the year

I saw it yesterday and it seemed to fly by, like alfonso had made it from the notes, not the story. Things were cut here and there, but it was still amazing.
But like I said amazing, but 2 hours is too short.
My biggest dislikes were: The lake+demonter scene, the other Patronum scenes, the quiditch scene was good (read: better then other quiditch scenes) but didn't follow with what should have happened, we should have seen the other weasleys and learnt about them and percys headboyness. I seriously dislike the way the dementors suck happiness, I should be a passive affect IMO, no active sucking. This way harry is out sooner on the train and the dementors can advance accross the lake. Also I wanted to se Sir Cadogan!
My favourite aditions: Fat lady... LMAO, The bits and pieces in the knight bus, the heads, the ice from the dementors, the look of the werewolf. Lumos maximus, the court yard and other added scenery.

I'm pretty disappointed in that last post to be honest.
The movie isn't out yet in the States. You knew the movie had not reached wide release yet. You knew that by posting, you were giving a little smile to people that you had seen it early (which is fine). However, you also knew that talking about scenes from the movie was a spoiler, AND THAT 99% OF THE PEOPLE READING THIS THREAD HAD NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET.
I can deal with spoilers a few weeks after release...but spoilers BEFORE WIDE RELEASE? Come on now, I expected better of EnWorlders. Now I am just pissed, because I know a bunch of stuff about how things will work in this movie, and I didn't want to know that. I just wanted some spoiler-free reviews of the movie...which is what everyone else in the thread knew how to do.

See, I was hoping for more spoilers. I want to see how it compares to the book, which I've read several times.

The title of the thread had the movie icon and asked to rate the picture. Considering that you gennerally have to see a picture before you can rate it, I think that would be enough of a warning to stay away from the thread. The first several posts didn't give any spoilers and you could have seen they were talking about the movie and you could have thought "Oh they're talking about the movie I haven;t seen yet, I'm going to leave this thread before I learn any spoilers"
I agree, maybe a spoiler warning could be added, but I think there was enough of a warning in the words for people to not read the thread if they haven;t seen the picture.

There's also the point that the book has been out for at least 3 years and is currently available nearly all over the world and is actually cheaper than a movie ticket making spoilers seem somewhat unnecessary. Most of what was described in that post were descriptions on elements straight from the book.
Additionally, the movies have so far shown a tendency to not deviate too much from the book except to exclude scenes for pacing purposes. The movies are very close to the books with very few differences.
Just my 2 coppers.
