SuperFantabulous Movie Review — "Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban"

So tonight's movie is the 3rd (and presumably final) installment in the lovely Harry Potter series.

This movie is different from the other two b/c all of the actors are well into the throes of puberty, and have sprouted breasts and chest hair. Also, whenever they get mad and yell, it's that skweaky teenage voice that makes it sound goofy.

In the opening scene, we are treated to a shot of now super hunky Harry Potter alone...in his bedroom....at night....under the covers.....playing with his wand. When his uncle opens the door, Harry lays back down to pretend he was asleep. Already I'm reminisicing my summer nights from the time I was in high school.

So Harry has been a naughty boy and using magic away from Hogwarts. He's also a pretty snappy dresser, too. Well we again take the journey to Hogwarts school and meet our favorite characters. Now, I haven't read--nor intend to read--the books, but I think it's sad that Hogwarts has to find a NEW 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' teacher EVERY YEAR! The first movie, the teacher had a face in the back of his head, the second movie's teacher went insane, and well, it's not looking good for this movie. I'm just curious how many new teachers the books have to offer.

Harry and Ron and the almost of-age Hermoine listen to rap music and search for the escaped prisoner of Uzbekistan all while desparately trying to bathe Hagrid. Harry learns some valuable lessons about life and his parents. He is becoming quite the master of magic and wizardry (with a little help from his friends) and yet Ron still hasn't learned that he has testicles.

After watching the movie.....then traveling back in time to watch the last 30 minutes again, I remained impressed. It's lame kiddie humor, and it got boring halfway through, but still fun. I'm just waiting for the new Robert Zemeckis/Tom Hanks animated fantastical film "Polar Express." That looks like some fun times. (Oh, wouldn't it be cheaper to actually FILM a movie instead of computer animating them to look AS REAL AS POSSIBLE?)

MOVIE STATS:
Predictability: 2/10 --I saw the fat lady singing joke a mile away, but it was done well.
Borability: Only for a bit.
Have I seen it before?: Most definitely not. Well, again, the last 30 minutes I saw 10 minutes ago. Darn that Hermoine and her time-traveling watch!
Matinee or Full Price: Full Price
