Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban / USA / UK / 2004
One of the most underrated films of the decade, and the best of an average lot by a country mile. The storyline is flawed and repetitive, the characters overly familiar, but this is Alfonso Cuaron’s movie, proof positive that it’s possible to make a great film from an average script. The locations are breathtaking, the symbolism powerful and appropriate (clocks, mirrors, the changing seasons), the whole affair brought off with a sense of irrepressible enthusiasm and genuine, wide eyed wonder not seen since Spielberg at his early 80’s peak.

Not great, but a fair chapter in the HP series, especially under Cuaron’s direction. He took cheeky, cookie-cutter Brit kids, carelessly crafted and carbon copied by Columbus from the first two films, and made Harry Potter and friends contemporary, relatable, and yes, even hip. Hopefully, he’ll return to direct the remaining 2 installments of the series. Cuaron gave Harry Potter a much needed injection of realism, and less of the whinsome escapism that made the first two films a little too sanitized.

No, it is great. I don’t gotta admit nothing. I think this is a genuinely beautiful, surprising, entrancing film. But I’d just as happily watch it with the sound off.

I agree, Mr. Huddleston. Cuaron does a better job of creating the world of Hogwarts than Columbus. I love the pervasive sense of time as an enemy.
