I think movie wise, this was the best of the Harry Potter films. The story was OK, but of course the books are better because they have so much more detail.
The special effects are incredible. At times, it looks realistic. Like when Harry is flying on the half bird/half horse creature. The animal looks like it has depth. Another example is the extremely fast bus Harry catches a ride on at the beginning. It's refreshing to see a film with good effects that don't look like they belong in a video game.
The acting by the kids has gotten so much better than in the first film. Too bad some of the teachers aren't featured more like they are in the books.
FINAL VERDICT: If you have watched the first two films, then I'm sure you'll be watching this one. But, if you have never read the books are seen the other movies, then you best not start off with the third film because you will be lost.
