Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

“I really liked the first movie, and I think I like this one more. It's certainly both darker and funnier than the first. This time though, Ron gets the most laughs("OK can we panic now?"). Here we get introduced to new characters, the standout being Kenneth Branagh, a Shakespeare veteran, who stole every scene as Gildaroy Lockhart. I loved it when he said "It's filthy down here," the whole cinema were in hysterics at that. Jason Isaacs was menacing too, and Dobby was hilarious with his constant head-banging. Daniel Radcliffe is audibly older here and it does work at its advantage. I thought 23 year old Christian Coulson as Riddle was very good indeed, though Riddle was much scarier in the book. Other scenes of comic relief were provided by Ron's parents, played respectably by Julie Walters” read more

"With the first chapter of the Harry Potter film franchise proving to be almost as successful as the book, the 2nd in the series is released (and in the nick of time considering that the movies must coincide with the age of the children actors) and solidifies that the kid with the lightning scar is worthy of the reputation of being "The Chosen One". Particularly when it comes to the tweener targeted box office. And if there's one thing tweeners love to see, it's someone that they can relate to"

"7.3. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Tähän filmatisointiin loppui aikoinaan kiinnostus, kumman hyvin oli tämäkin muistissa. Edeltejäänsä nähden kerronta on vähemmän lapsellista, mutta kuitenkin hyvin selvästi juuri lapsille tarkoitettu. CGI ei myöskään ole nyt erityisen rumaa. Mahdoton sanoa, onko formaatin upgreidauksella tässä sitten merkitystä. Sellaisenaan kivuton, mutta en voisi kuvitellakaan katsovani itsekseni. 160 minuutin kestolle ei ole kyllä mitään perusteita."
