Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Harry ignores warnings not to return to Hogwarts, only to find the school plagued by a series of mysterious attacks and a strange voice haunting him. Although darker than the previous film and a bit more serious 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' doesn't reach the magic of the original but still boasts enough energy to be a great movie on it's own terms. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint once again deliver some very good perfomances but also their chemistry gets better and better with each second as for the story itself? It was definitely way more dark than the first. (7.7/10)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a film directed by Chris Columbus. After watching the first film which I liked a lot, I was pretty excited for the second part. After watching it I can say that I enjoyed this particular part too.Plot: Harry Potter is warned by Dobby, a House elf not to attend Hogwarts School of Magic as danger awaits him.Story and direction: This film is one of those rare sequels which improve upon the first. This film doesn't take time to set up things. But instead we are immediately thrown into action. Also introduced are some new characters which impressed me like Lucius Malfoy and Ginny Weasley and another one not being of much importance like Gilderoy Lockhart. If this character was removed it wouldn't be much of a loss to this film. The funny scenes also feel funny and not forced. John Williams' score is again awesome and I can just hear it again and again. The film deals with another theme which I liked a lot the way it was handled. As for the VFX, although it has improved much from the first part but still there are some imperfections. There is some animatronic work with creatures which were excellent. It felt like the creatures were real and would jump out of the screen. The sets are massive and adorable. The action scenes in this film were great.They were so believe-able that I had goosebumps. Even though the film is longer than the first part, I felt much more entertained by this film. Chris Columbus and Steve Kloves have again done a wonderful job in providing us another chapter in this universe that not only makes us happy but also makes you feel for the characters in those particular settings. This film does have a post credit scene but I didn't think that the film did need that.Performances: All of the regular cast members did an outstanding job. Jason Isaacs was bad (in a good way) as Lucius Malfoy. Kenneth Branagh was also good in the material that was provided to him. Mark Williams as Arthur Weasley did a fine job. The voice of Dobby by Toby Jones was awesome. I didn't know that he voiced Dobby until I read it in the internet. Favorite Scene: It would be one where Hagrid consoles Hermione about her parents being muggle and both Harry and Ron providing support to her. This scene showed not only showed the strong bond between the kids but also how much Hagrid cares for Harry's gang.Verdict: For a sequel, this film just ticks all the boxes. I had a great time with this film. It improved upon the first and also opened many new doors for the future films. I just can't wait to see what this series has yet to offer me.I am going with an 8.5/10.

Another awesome movie of Harry Potter which I liked. The chamber of secrets has been opened by the heir of Slytherin, who is a Gryffindor. The chamber has been yet again opened by Ronald Weasley's sister, Ginny Weasley. This chamber when opened, unleashes a strong, powerful snake, and that, that if you see its eyes, you may die.This snake always travels in pipes and drains, so that it can prevent people from seeing it. The chamber of secrets is also very hard to find. It's hidden somewhere underneath the washbasin of the girls' dormitory and to open it, you need to speak in Parseltongue (the language which snakes speak). Harry Potter knows Parseltongue and therefore unlocks the chamber to kill the great snake. The chamber has many passages to the main area. Harry Potter also meets Tom Marvolo Riddle (when unscrambled "Lord Voldemort".Now it's Harry Potter's adventure to close the chamber of secrets and prevent chaos and a number of people from dying.

This film essentially begins where its predecessor "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" left off with "Harry Potter" (Daniel Radcliffe) leaving the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the summer. Naturally, since his only living relatives weren't very nice to him previously he dreads the thought of spending staying with them. Sure enough, they waste little time in making his life miserable and doing everything they can to prevent him from conversing with his friends or going back to Hogwarts. Then one day he gets a visit from a goblin named "Dobby" (voice supplied by Toby Jones) who also does everything he can to prevent him from going back as well—and the reason is more sinister than either of them realize. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought this sequel was just as good as the movie before it due in large part to the darker and more intriguing plot. However, like the first film, it does run a bit long (161 minutes) so that might be one consideration for those wishing to watch it. Even so, it was still quite enjoyable and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
