Title: A Supreme Disappointment.
Product review: Despite this film's many fine qualities, I cannot refer to it as a success for the film series. Even when one ignores the fact that no film can ever live up to the book it may be based upon, and that the Prisoner of Azkaban is at least twice the length of the previous two novels; the movie just does not meet the standards set by the previous two movies. To begin, the movie is only about 135mins. in length. This may seem inconsequential at first but please note that each of the other two movies were at least 190mins. in length and ,as I said , the book is twice as long as the other two. This being the case a large amount of the plot was cut as well as crucial information for those in the audience who prefer not to read the books first.My only hope is that somehow they actually filmed many more scenes (or at least a few ) and that these scenes will be available on some sort of Extended Edition DVD a la LOtR because frankly, this movie just does not cut it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
