Like previous Potter films, this one is great. The playful trio are back for their third year at Hogwarts.
Porter (Daniel Radcliffe) has a slightly different role in this film, as his inner anger over what happened to his parents has grown over the years. For me, this movie is more interesting than the first and second movies.
There's no question that Gary Oldman's portrayal of Sirius Black is anything but perfect. But Sirius Black was out of the question for the talented Oldman. I like him better in other movies like "The Professional" and "Immortal Beloved". Let's hope he gets a chance to play more in the highly anticipated "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
John Williams' original music exceeded my expectations. It's absolutely outstanding and worth listening to even if you don't watch the movie. Williams composed memorable compositions such as the theme music for Star Wars, Jaws, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Overall, anyone of any age should enjoy this movie. The visuals aren't the most spectacular I've seen, but it's enough to take your imagination away from the real world for 141 minutes. Even graduation credits are cool.
Now, go to the movies. You will be happy.
