Hairy Botter in the Goblin of Fear
Well, the first film was terrible, the hype around the books is annoying and yes, I grudgingly concede that it is nice to have a fantasy story of wizards and things being so popular.
After the first film I vowed ne'er to darken my eyes with this abhorration, ne'er to force them to glance upon a single word of this tosh, yes it's good for kids before they know any better (Black Cauldron, The Hobbit, LOTR, Dungeons and Dragons, Fighting Fantasy) but that's about it.
Of course back then I didn't have a girlfriend who spends every quiet moment reading and re-reading Harry Potter. I didn't for one second think I'd say yeah, let's go and see Harry Potter! It will be... fun and I most certainly didn't think I'd enjoy it quite as much as I did.
The film is okay. I had this whole review worked out but then I read JSto's ranting and realised that I'm not enough of, or even slightly a fan to do either side justice. So read that and then go and see it anyway.
