As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I like the Harry Potter films, but I’m not thrilled with them. However, I must admit that the promotional material for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has looked pretty sharp. Now this:
The early buzz surrounding the movie is extremely positive. Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro (director of “Blade 2” and the upcoming “Hellboy”)recently saw the film and told Latino Review, “It’s absolutely fantastic. It’s not only a beautiful Harry Potter film, it’s an absolute delight of a film period. It’s just… ‘Alfonso imagination’ for anyone who saw Little Princess, it’s extremely rich and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is incredibly detailed, incredibly full of spectacle and intelligence. I mean I was blown away by it, I think it’s going to be a huge success. I saw it in London and it’s simply fantastic.”
Ok, I’m sold. If Del Toro says it’s that good, then that’s good enough for me. I’ll go try on my wizards hat. Read the whole FilmForce article here.
