Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was directed again by Chris Columbus, and again stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Richard Harris. It is a sequel to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, taking place one year later at Hogwarts.This time, it seems that a mysterious terror is "petrifying" specific characters, and again it's up to Harry, Ron, and Hermoine to stop them all while learning some new backstory regarding Draco Malfoy, Voldemort, and Hagrid.I'm not ashamed to admit that I LOVED this movie and book when I first read and saw it. It was one of my favorites of the franchise, and I was unsure why it is considered by many to be the least of the franchise.Now that I have rewatched it, I have noticed some flaws that I failed to notice earlier, mainly the fact that it is a semi-rehash of the previous film, and how it has more or less the same problems as the previous film (uninteresting parts, subpar acting, an easy-to-solve mystery, etc.). However, in the film's defense I feel as if The Chamber of Secrets is a copy of Sorcerer's Stone, but one that is done better. This film captures the creativity and charm and likability of the world much better than the predecessor. I also appreciate the film for upping the stakes, especially with (SPOILER) the basilisk at the end, which by the way, is an effect that still impresses me.I highly recommend this film, if you liked the first film you'll like this one too.RATING:7/10

With a better story, this film easily surpasses the first. The film is entertaining all the way through, and never seems to slow down. New characters are introduced, and the old characters are more fleshed out in this movie. I would definitely recommend this film.

This is not as whimsical or warming as the first Harry Potter movie, but it's different in a good way. Here, we get a bit dark and begin to see more adventure, as well as go deeper into Voldemort's rise and the main outline of the whole books/movies. The acting and CGI are way better compared to the last one; acting was good but CGI a bit cheesy in the first. Here, though the CGI for the ghosts isn't perfect, we have well-done CGI for an enormous snake called the Basilisk. With the actors and characters back from the last movie, you can see that the actors are truly finding the character they're playing and how to play them better and stronger. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is hilarious; Kenneth Branagh did a superior job. The house elf Dobby is annoying at first but likable at the end. We're introduced to Draco's dad, Lucius Malfoy, who seems deadly and like he has much more to him than it seems. Though not all of the movies are, I think this one is a good match for the book. A lot of it is just like I imagined.Of course, it's not all perfect--nothing ever is. We still have witchcraft, and though we only see the shadow, blood pours out of the Basilisk's eyes. In the end, though, it is definitely a must-see that is thrilling and enjoyable, one of the few movies I wish to watch over and over again.

This movie is similar to the original adaptation but it's better in every single way and I was surprised on how well it's aged. This film is a lot more mature than the first one while still having a lighthearted tone and balancing that with very dark messaging throughout the whole film. A lot of people criticized it for not following the book properly but that's where I think it really works in this films favor. I don't understand why you would want to have it viewed for what the book did. If it's a movie. It should be it's own thing rather than cram everything together in to a mess of a production like "Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire" where too much of the book gets thrown in to the film and a lot of things ended up not making sense.Chamber Of Secrets has a half an hour setup starting in the Dursleys house again but a peasant elf named Dobby warns that Harry Potter should not go back to Hogwarts this year as something as he would be put in danger. The Dursleys house scene is a lot more entertaining this time as there's something that looks so visually improved from the first one in fact no scratch that. I confuses me to how everyone looks past this film and dismisses it as 'too similar to the first' where it actually does look from a technical standpoint a lot better than the first. around 30 minutes of a very entertaining setup with a flying car scene and crashing in to the 'Womping WIllow' they finally arrive at Hogwarts. This movie has a lot of wondering around. There is not a great hall scene this time as you already seen that in the first film. Another reason as to why this is in no way too similar to philosophers stone. Instead of setting things up for the next movie. This film is not a drag. It doesn't take it's time and gets right in to what's important. The reason why I love this film so much is because it's completely focused on what the chamber Of Secrets is and is the only one to live up to it's name besides Prisoner of Askaban. The pacing is just perfect here. Chris Columbus really knew how to make a flawed formula great. Gilderoy Lockhart is the new defense against the dark arts teacher and I know people have problems with him but honestly? he gives the film so much charm and personality. He's entertaining to say the least. There are creepy sequences with voices saying 'kill' 'kill' It's really effective and chilling which leads me to another thing this movie did right. Atmosphere. There is even a scene where Professor McGonagall explains the origins of the Chamber Of Secrets and it's probably the most effective scene in the film. There is a really cool scene not long after which involves Harry communicating with a book getting took back 50 years before and learns more about the chamber.There is a short section of the film where they go and fight a bunch of spiders (which got me a little freaked as I have arachnophobia myself) and then when Harry Manages to get in to the Chamber Of Secrets. He finds out that the person who opened the chamber was Ginny...but because Tom Riddle. The man from the past in the book Harry opened who revealed himself as Lord Voldemort. through a smart scene where he directly spells out his name then there is one of the most epic scenes in film history the basilisk fight. Harry manages to save Ginny and get out while Tom gets defeated by Harry stabbing his Quill in to the book. And your telling me this is the worst Harry Potter film?The ending rehashes the 1st ones ending but it goes out with a band this time. Instead it ends with a camera shot zooming out of the great hall of Hogwarts and then it ends. It's just as epic as you think it sounds. This film is so overlooked and does not get the respect it deserves. This film isn't flawless as it's own film though as there are problems. Molly says Ginny's jumper is on the cat? Seriously?Overall I would say this is definitely my favorite Harry Potter film. Always will be. I didn't even mention half of the things that went on in this movie that make it so original and unique. I loved every single second of this film. It's one of my favorite films of all time and it's not just Columbus nostalgia keeping this one alive. Daniel Radcliffe who never really 'acted' much in the first one but in this. He's excellent. This is where his acting started to shine. This is where Columbus formula would perfect and would go in a different direction with a change of directors for the other masterpiece and next entry known as Prisoner Of Askaban. Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets is the perfect balance between dumb, absurd and epic and that's why it makes it the best Harry Potter movie in the series for me but Prisoner a close second.
