And I was quite disappointed. The new style of direction was quite inferior to that of the previous two. Felt more like watching a kid's version of 28 days after. Speaking of which, was this movie even shot on film? It looked like crappy digital. The content of this movie was profoundly comprimised. Yes I know this was a longer book but so what? The movie made huge and important ommissions from the book and it felt more like an outline than an actual fleshed out narative. Also, this was the first time story changes were made in relation to the book. The first two movies were amazingly true to the books both in feel and in content. This one was off base in just about every way. When I saw the first two I kept thinking that it was pulled right out of my head because they were so close to what I had visualized. For this one my reaction was completely the opposite. Too bad. Prisoner of Azkaban was the Harry Potter book I liked the most.
