Dark Bilious Vapors

of MovieJuice has an interesting "pre-view" of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:

I gave my word I wouldn't release my "review" (such as it is) until the day this movie opens (next Friday).

But I never said I wouldn't give you my favorable or unfavorable opinion about it in the meantime.

And here it is:

It ain't bad. But it ain't that good. Mostly I found it alarminlgly dull. Full of pretzel-like twists and turns that had me checking my watch and wishing I, like Hermoine, could turn back time.

Just call it Harry Potter and the Relentless Franchise.

I wish Hollywood made more movies like this one. But not necessarily ones with roman numerals after the title.
