Bit showy but it may be the best they could do at the time. No idea why they didn’t realize Maguire & Dunst were the worst actors available.

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Cuarón takes series from kids movies to well-rounded films by wisely choosing the story he wanted to focus on instead of slavish adherence.

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Weakest of the series. Really can feel the missing text. Illustrates the problem of trying to be too faithful. Original book is also weak…

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)
Give Columbus all the credit in the world for laying foundation for enormous franchise under tremendous pressure. Solid & fun enough to last

#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
Not awful so much as awfully long. Needlessly complicated story interferes with the fun, which is still there, buried under ponderous plot.
