Good but far short of great - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Reviews

'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' is probably an overall film but it just didn't have a more widespread view than 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'. I guess the real pleasure of 'Sorcerer's Stone' was seeing all of these things for the first time. In 'Chamber of Secrets', we're already familiar with the cinematic wizard world, so it's less alienating or joyful. However, 'Chamber' had stronger acting and seamless visual effects, something that was hit and miss in the first.
