HP and TCOS is a good fun movie in the HP franchise. The music, the acting and the effects are great. Especially Kenneth Brannagh as Gilderoy Lockhart is magnificent.
However, I find the pacing very off. Most scenes go on a tad too long. Most are meant for the actors to react to what's going on, but their reactions come too late, that if it had been a play I would have thought the actors had forgotten their lines.
But it's also the rewriting of certain scenes. Now professor Binns isn't in the movies at all, so they've chosen to give the lines to McGonnagal. Fair enough.
But there's no sense of dread or hesitancy or foreboding regarding the tale.
It falls a bit flat.
But, all in all the movie is still in the a fun watch.
