thpapasotiriou Less disappointing compared to the previous one (The Sorcerer's Stone), however I continue finding this movie lame and scenario lacks of rationalism. Scenery is again good, but nothing extraordinary, actors perform better than the previous movie and special effects slightly improved. It may be interesting for a 10 years old kid though.

morganstephens512 This movie could have been at least 15 minutes shorter than it actually was. The movie really slows down during the second act of the game. This movie had a few good things in it, but on the whole the movie just wasn't all that interesting of film to watch on a general level. It wasn't all that bad and I would never say that it was terrible, but I just feel like you could have removed so much, and gotten rid of a few of the filler bits. However, the visuals are still great and the acting is better here. Those are two things that get better with each movie. The visuals are obvious, but the acting is an improvement that is very welcome to make the film good enough to watch even with the boring bits.

gopranjalv Another awesome movie of Harry Potter which I liked. The chamber of secrets has been opened by the heir of Slytherin, who is a Gryffindor. The chamber has been yet again opened by Ronald Weasley's sister, Ginny Weasley. This chamber when opened, unleashes a strong, powerful snake, and that, that if you see its eyes, you may die.This snake always travels in pipes and drains, so that it can prevent people from seeing it. The chamber of secrets is also very hard to find. It's hidden somewhere underneath the washbasin of the girls' dormitory and to open it, you need to speak in Parseltongue (the language which snakes speak). Harry Potter knows Parseltongue and therefore unlocks the chamber to kill the great snake. The chamber has many passages to the main area. Harry Potter also meets Tom Marvolo Riddle (when unscrambled "Lord Voldemort".Now it's Harry Potter's adventure to close the chamber of secrets and prevent chaos and a number of people from dying.

Hermione Granger This is not as whimsical or warming as the first Harry Potter movie, but it's different in a good way. Here, we get a bit dark and begin to see more adventure, as well as go deeper into Voldemort's rise and the main outline of the whole books/movies. The acting and CGI are way better compared to the last one; acting was good but CGI a bit cheesy in the first. Here, though the CGI for the ghosts isn't perfect, we have well-done CGI for an enormous snake called the Basilisk. With the actors and characters back from the last movie, you can see that the actors are truly finding the character they're playing and how to play them better and stronger. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is hilarious; Kenneth Branagh did a superior job. The house elf Dobby is annoying at first but likable at the end. We're introduced to Draco's dad, Lucius Malfoy, who seems deadly and like he has much more to him than it seems. Though not all of the movies are, I think this one is a good match for the book. A lot of it is just like I imagined.Of course, it's not all perfect--nothing ever is. We still have witchcraft, and though we only see the shadow, blood pours out of the Basilisk's eyes. In the end, though, it is definitely a must-see that is thrilling and enjoyable, one of the few movies I wish to watch over and over again.
