    it was so cute to see the movie now, to observe how they grew in time, and actually how they looked when they were kids. and the effects were really nice,. the efforts they put in making this world visible, from imagination to images.

    A great adaption, keeping the tone and great originality of the book. It's an amazing world of characters, stories and locations. While it is definitely a film targeted for children, it can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

    Good introduction to the Harry Potter universe. A bit juvenile at times, but altogether good. It's fun to watch Alan Rickman act circles around everybody, as always.

    And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen: The magic begins! The film that contained the original, colorful and magical vision first imposed by Chris Columbus from which several upcoming directors would take as a direct reference, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is one of ...( read more)the most loyal book adaptations and an extraordinary and unforgettable journey to a whole new world never seen before with empathetic characters, intense action, some interesting effects, an original visual style and three Academy Award nominations. The film with which all of us grew up with, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has become Chris Columbus's second best film and his first successful approach towards the fantasy genre. Classic soundtrack.

    72/100

  • November 9, 2009
    most childish story of the group but the director, at least, keeps you in another world on this one.
  • November 7, 2009
    I've watched it. at first, I think.. a witchcraft? nah.. but the book changed my point of view to this story. it was very well plotted for a fiction story.

  • October 31, 2009
    just great adaptation
  • October 31, 2009
    There is something pure about the first of this epic series, the lack of puberty and Hogwarts still being a magical mysterious place. The story of course is good and the setting is interesting. Maybe its just because I have a soft spot for harry potter but this is a great movie.

    La mas "pura" de todas... 8/10
  • October 26, 2009
    Well, in this movie it's more pointed to children. As the charatcters grow older, I guess the audience does to, and so does the people whom the directors are trying to direst the movie to.
  • October 26, 2009
    Great movie. Liked Voldemort (In Quirrel's head), Dumbeldore, McGonagall's transfiguration into a cat, Hagrid's flying with Sirius's bike and etc/
  • October 25, 2009
    a great classic movie
  • October 24, 2009
    A good movie, i think it was a little bit scary for kids, but it was great.
  • October 24, 2009
    A quality first outing for the bespectacled wand botherer. The characters transpose well from the book, and the first chapter holds well as a stand alone movie in it's own right. Alan Rickman, as he does so well, steals the show with minimal screen time maximised as the dark and ...( read more)bitter potions master.

    On a separate matter, why did the Americans have to change the word Philosopher to Sorcerer? Do they not understand the word or perhaps they couldn't pronounce it?? In American cinemas, was the word redubbed each time it was said to ensure the continuity with the title? If not, then what was the point? I'm baffled and off for a cup of tea with a cream scone.

    BOTTOM LINE: The beginning of something special and it is special in its own right.

    "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was the start of one of the best franchises around. Nobody expected the film to be this explosive or for the name of Harry Potter to expand this far. A...( read more)nd it's all because of this, a great movie that both kids and adults will like, and one that will go down as the beginning of something special and remarkable. And it's not even the best movie in the series.

    "Sorcerer's Stone" is remembered because of its willingness to stay as close as possible to its source material, something not a lot of movies can succeed at doing but something that it pulled off spectacularly. I was amazed watching the movie in the theater when I was but 14. Back then, I thought it was the greatest thing ever; now, I still think it's pretty damn good.

    This movie will stay in the back of the minds of even the people who hate Harry Potter and everything that he stands for because of its Star Wars-like nature. It began as an idea and became a phenomenon. "Heck yeah."

    My favorite of all the movies.
  • October 19, 2009
    i thought it was not ok
  • October 17, 2009
    The one that got them all started. I actually expected more from this movie, having not read the books. I was expecting everybody to be great wizards, with powerful spells, and not expect wands. I didn't really think about the fact that they were just learning how to use magic, b...( read more)ut once I got used to it, I was enthralled, it was highly entertaining. Alot more so than I expected, took me a long time to give these movies a chance, but I'm so glad I did.
  • October 17, 2009
    Sorceror's Stone and Chamber of Secrets were definitely the most family-friendly of the HP movies. Sorceror's Stone was almost dead-on with the book except for the ending. They cut out way too much of the final maze. A good way to start the series. RIP Richard Harris. He's still ...( read more)my favorite Dumbledore.

    It was o.k. too kiddy for me, Azkaban I preferred the best.
  • October 14, 2009
    it was a good enough first movie. i'm glad the film was close enough to the theme of the books. nobody expected much so i'm glad the film turned out the way it did.
