Movie Reviews of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Nearly Been Trampled By Grade Schoolers Brought My Interest About The Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I still remember the day the first Harry Potter movie came out in the mall. I was nearby the movie theater entrance when I heard a voice say "The Harry Potter movies first showing is starting now" than I saw a mob of elementary school kids rampaging their way to the theater and I was in their way. After the dvd came out I decided to buy it just to see what the excitement was all about and I was astonished at how much I enjoyed the movie. After that I decided to but the first book and have since gotten the entire seven books of Harry Potter as well as the five movies that have so far been made. The first blur-ray dvd video and audio isn't to much better than the standard version. Some of the background is a little clearer and sharper but in all not to much of a difference and the same can be said for the audio as well. The next four I can tell you are a lot better though as those have much better picture quality detail. The audio choices are also amazing with the next four blu-ray dvds meaning the languages you can select are massive. You also get a bit more with the extras but if you're like me you probably never really check them out. So as the prices for these great blu-rays have gone down in price I say either get the entire collection set or just buy the first one and see if you like the movie. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your decision...
Summary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [HD DVD]
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/11/2007 Run time: 153 minutes Rating: PgHere's an event movie that holds up to being an event. This filmed version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, adapted from the wildly popular book by J.K. Rowling, stunningly brings to life Harry Potter's world of Hogwarts, the school for young witches and wizards. The greatest strength of the film comes from its faithfulness to the novel, and this new cinematic world is filled with all the details of Rowling's imagination, thanks to exuberant sets, elaborate costumes, clever makeup and visual effects, and a cr?me de la cr?me cast, including Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, and more. Especially fine is the interplay between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his schoolmates Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), as well as his protector, the looming Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). The second-half adventure--involving the titular sorcerer's stone--doesn't translate perfectly from page to screen, ultimately because of the film's fidelity to the novel; this is a case of making a movie for the book's fans, as opposed to a transcending film. Writer Steve Kloves and director Chris Columbus keep the spooks in check, making this a true family film, and with its resourceful hero wide-eyed and ready, one can't wait for Harry's return. Ages 8 and up. --Doug Thomas
