Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Though exceptionally long, Chamber of Secrets boasts improved special effects and a thrilling story-line, and uses strong performances to mask the cliches and somewhat convoluted plot.

On par with the first, but not my favorite set of movies from the franchise. Chamber of secrets gets a bit boring, and seems to be telling too much that it gets frustrating to follow.

Preserves the levels of actions and thrills of previously, but a little more darker and more danger. Take a look for Richard Harris - as Albus Dumbledore- in his final role.

The visual effects were spectacular especially during the basilisk fight, the giant spiders, and the Quidditch game. The acting was stupendous especially from Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Watson, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Julie Walters, Richard Griffiths, Fiona Shaw and Jason Isaacs and the voice over performances from Toby Jones and Julian Glover were stupendous as well.

This film is the adaptation of the second book in the Harry Potter's saga, written by J.K. Rowling. As in the first film, also this one was directed by Chris Columbus, keeping almost the same team and cast that worked in the first one. So, it's not surprising that Columbus has repeated here the success of the first movie of the franchise. It's also not surprising that there are obvious similarities between the two films, which ultimately distinguish them from the other films that would follow after Columbus departure. Another name that will disappear from the franchise after this film is Richard Harris, who played the role of Albus Dumbledore, one of the most important in the saga, as Harris dies that same year. Like the first film, this one remained true to the original book, a feature that will come gradually to mitigate on the following films. However, this film no longer has the lightness of the first film, perhaps it was just the magic of being the first...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Harry Potter 2 y La Camara Secreta es una película muy decepcionante a mi parecer. Perdiendo gran parte del encanto de la primer película, en la que se nos introducía exitosamente a este mundo, con sus reglas y demás, en lugar de seguir expandiendo la historia de Hogwarts, todo lo nuevo queda en la nada. Se introducen 3 ANTAGONISTAS y una BANDA de personajes nuevos. Todos estos personajes son poco interesantes y apenas aportan algo a la trama. Siento que con esta película intentaron ser mas ambiciosos pero al final todo les salio mal, esta todo muy metido a la fuerza y con calzador. Muchas situaciones son convenientes, Hermione esta rotisima y aprende de la nada un hechizo nuevo cuando les conviene, y al igual que la primera, Harry realmente a pesar de ser el elegido no hace nada hasta el final de la película donde convenientemente derrota al Basilisco (aunque debo admitir que la manera en la que derroto a Voldemort se me hizo bastante ingeniosa). También hay algunos huecos de guion extraños: Como es posible que Voldemort volviera sin mas? Porque Lucius Malfoy le tenia tanta bronca a Harry? Creo que podrían haber explorado un poco mas el tema de los "pura sangre" que estaba interesante la verdad. Y Gilderoy Lockhart.... omg.... omg.... OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! Uno de los peores antagonistas y uno de los personajes mas irritantes que he visto en mucho tiempo! Y su revelación al final era super obvia. Debieron de haberse conformado con un solo antagonista bien ejecutado. Y hablando de la duración, al igual que la primera, siento que todo se podría haber contado en la mitad de tiempo. Vaya... la película dura casi 3 horas y aun así, debido a todo el relleno que tiene se siente muy apretujada. Que lastima. En general, me parece mediocre. Tiene buenas ideas, y si no se sintiera todo tan metido con calzador seria posiblemente una buena película, quizá incluso a la altura de la primera, pero se nota que no tuvieron muchas ganas de hacerlo, cosa que me da mucha pena, ya que La Piedra Filosofal había introducido un buen universo, único y rico, con conceptos que darían para mas, pero al menos esta secuela, considero personalmente que no la expandió de la manera debida. Espero que con la tercera parte compensen sus errores.… Expand

It's even more darker and chilling than its predecessor, with a better storytelling than the original , and a scene-stealing performance from Kenneth Branagh. The final fight with basilisk is arguably one the franchises most stunning VFX scenes. But it really fails to keep itself from dragging with a 160 min. running time, its faithful approach really does signify that Colombus is aiming this only for the kids, and, like the first one, fails to reach the standards of the book. In short, it just lacks the vibrant charm, and the enchantment of the original… Expand

After watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I had gotten really high hopes for the Harry Potter franchise. I was expecting all of them to be as simplistic and visually appealing as that movie. With that in mind I watched the secondAfter watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I had gotten really high hopes for the Harry Potter franchise. I was expecting all of them to be as simplistic and visually appealing as that movie. With that in mind I watched the second movie today and sadly, it doesn't live up to the mark on almost any of the parameters. That's not to say that it's a bad movie. It's not. But it's not a good Harry Potter movie.

To begin with, the movie's CGI hasn't aged pretty well. And that's actually really surprising because the first one was so good so this one should have had a higher budget and thus more advanced VFX. But other than the Basilisk, most of the CGI hasn't aged so well. Especially that of Dobby. When he was banging his head in the drawer in the beginning of the movie, the shelves of the drawer were shaking in the opposite direction of where they should shake. And when Harry puts Dobby in the wardrobe it looked more like the wind is opening the door instead of Dobby. There are plenty of examples of bad CGI in the movie but I don't want to take it too far.

Speaking of Dobby, he's had a very bad introduction. The way he is behaving is annoying. If I were to behave like that my mom would have slapped me all across the face. Sure he does get a wholesome ending, but that's yet to see how he turns out. Draco also became more annoying now, with constantly trying to bully Harry even though he can't do a thing. Myrtle spoke like a nerd Harley Quinn. I get this movie is trying to be campy, but that goes way too far.

The story is a good part here. Although it's not as easy as Sorcerer's Stone, it is still very nicely detailed. Too many incidents happen in it, but yet it does not feel bloated. It feels absolutely to the point, with none of that "side quest" things movies often use to pad the runtime. Everything happens for a reason and it all pays off in the end. The scenes with Ron, particularly in the beginning, are always funny and memorable. Though Hermione doesn't play as huge part in this movie as Harry and Ron do, she also gets a decent screen time, although without any character arc.

I'm still on the second movie of this franchise, so I can't exactly say if this is among the good movies or the bad ones. But I really hope the rest of the movies are more leaning towards the first one in terms of tone. I remember every scene right now, but I can see myself forgetting most of the parts in the next few months.… Expand

Me gusta, aunque es bastante clásica, la construcción de la trama, trayendo cosas del principio de la película hacia al final, para que asocies.
Además, los efectos especiales mejoran en bastante consonancia, pensad que es de 2002 la película, y la anterior, que los Fx eran medio medio, solo es de un año previo.
El tono se va tornando más oscuro, para ir adaptando al espectador a lo que se viene en posteriores entregas, eso, y el eco detectivesco que tiene, es una maravilla, aunque sí que es verdad que podría haber indagado algo más en los temas más sociales como la fama y demás.
Me quedaría con eso, un reparto más maduro, y los añadidos que hacen que no sea tan monótona durando tanto, todo el tema de sonido y banda sonora, que es una maravilla, el diseño de producción una locura, y los efectos especiales, muy buenos para la época.
Lo único que no me llega a convencer es la duración, ya que sí que es verdad que es un poco más de lo mismo pero dura prácticamente 3 horas.… Expand

Harry Potter has just experienced his first lap around the sun in the world that defines him: a wizard, yet he spends the entire dreaded summer with the barbarous Dursleys, which meant no magic in the duration and waits for his second lap andHarry Potter has just experienced his first lap around the sun in the world that defines him: a wizard, yet he spends the entire dreaded summer with the barbarous Dursleys, which meant no magic in the duration and waits for his second lap and is intervened with warnings.

While being forbidden to use magic in the Muggle world, Harry is faced with even more non-magic warnings when a house-elf warns him to not enter the perimeter of Hogwarts for the upcoming term. The house-elf’s reason for abandoning Hogwarts is concealed, which does not give Harry enough motivation to stay home and ignores the warnings to live in his world of harmony.

Upon arrival at Hogwarts, Harry is proven wrong about his warnings when some of the insiders are stuck in limbo by a beast living in the school controlled by its pundit, who is anonymous to the student body. Since Harry is unable to manage the Muggle world, he puts his all into saving the learning nest of his world, and hopefully continues his education in the arts of magic with the help of the brainiac Hermione Granger and the devoted yet cocky Ron Weasley. As the trio make effort to unveil this ancient mystery, they enter a conspiracy of the adjective “Mudblood”, which is what Draco Malfoy’s alliance calls his peers who are related to Muggles. One of the trickiest things about filmmaking is the conservation of exposition and making its pacing work. This film runs at two hours and forty minutes including credits, which is estimated to be 40 minutes of secondary build-up, 80 minutes of exposition, and the last 30 minutes of a final showdown. The protagonist usually has the most amount of screen time and with this position taken by young Daniel Radcliffe who has burgeoned since the production of the first film, his smooth voice keeps our minds stable for every scene he is in. The first film was housed with frumpy special effects that made me rotate my head a whit, but here the effects team updated their past slip-ups and found their way of making us believe the definition of today’s effects.

I feel like some debris of reception has collapsed a wee bit since the first film, but the performances here, especially by the students, are exceptionally invigorating and will most likely improve as they evolve over time. Top it all off, a lot of storytelling, but very meticulous dialogue by the impersonators, no matter their age or experience.… Expand
