A wizard purchase! Harry Potter - Years 1-5 is not to be missed..

Advantages: Offers freedom to watch all films so you can keep a continual track of the story.
Disadvantages: Although enjoyable, the later films are more compelling to view than those before.

...that the earlier releases of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone I have purchased are actually on the old school format of VHS! The box set experience not only provides extended quality by means of the DVD format but allows the viewer to watch the character grow up from film to film without delay. The oustanding performance of Professor Snape, played by Alan Rickman, never fails to grip and terrify, particularly as the later films begin to introduce ...
...awaits in those still to come. Harry, Ron and Hermione remain a likable trio throughout, yet their obvious progression towards maturity results in momentrary dischord, when even friends can turn on one another. The increasingly spectacular use of CGI makes Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts (Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix) the most compelling; with the Dark Lord's return to strength will Hogwarts ever be the same? In my opinion, the box set ...

Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone- great watch

Advantages: invokes the audiences imagination and has great special effects
Disadvantages: at time unrealistic storyline

Im my opinion i believe this film is a great watch for that of both adults and children of all ages. It is a magical story which evokes the audience imagination. The special effects within the movie are great and do infact make the film a great watch. The characters perfomances are somewhat good, with great key scenes throughout the story, however some of the storylines are unrealistic and somewhat silly, but does however meet the needs of a younger ...

Perfect for any age group!

Advantages: Laugh out loud funny, brilliant animations.
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to introduce the story.

This DVD has to be an all time favourite of mine. The hilarious humour coupled with the brilliant animation really do together make this an outright wonderful film in my opinion. I have enjoyed this many times and it is well worth buying as it is a DVD that I can truly say, in my experience, never gets old. It is almost funnier the more times that I watch it, as there is always some new humour to be discovered. The jokes range from a pun for the ...

Good but not as good as the original!

Advantages: Still funny, good charcaters
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first Shrek

Shrek 3 is apparently better than the previous two Shrek movies. I disagree and would say the first movie was better and that the characters have lost a bit of novelty however I would still say that this is an excellent family film. The film follows on from the previous Shrek and starts with Shrek searching for a boy called Arthur because the King of Far Far Away has died and as Shrek is next in line but does not want to be King he tries to find ...
...rule Far Far Away and Shrek has to think about becoming a father! The characters and the actors are the same as the previous films and my favourite character has to be donkey as I find his voice hilarious! Shrek is played by Mike Myers, Fiona by Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy is Donkey and Puss in the Boots with many other funny characters including the Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio and the 3 Pigs. This is a good addition to the series but I do wonder how ...
