HPANA has three scans from the Entertainment Weekly review of the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD which is out now in the UK, Tuesday in the US.
Scans of a double page advert can be seen
here as well as the scan of the review itself.
Quote:
The third Potter film cuts out way too much of J.K.Rowling's 435-page opus.
Quote:
Fans of cinematic craft and good old entertainment, on the other hand, will recognise Azkaban for what it is: better.
Quote:
Director Alfonso Cuaron brings actual artistic inspiration to the proceedings, replacing Chris Columbus' dutiful Xeroxes with invention and mischief.
Quote:
...the computer generated wolf that resembles a Chihuahua on steroids.
Quote:
He tried creating the Dementors with maverick puppeteer Basil Twist before giving up and going CGI.
Quote:
It lacks a director's commentary (a shame given what a chatty delight Cuaron can be) and dumps a hodgepodge of extras on the second platter.
Quote:
Fatuous cast interviews with British "personality" Johnny Vaughan are for the bedroom-poster crowd only, and the tours, games, deleted scenes and quizzes are for rainy days only.
The real magic, in case you haven't noticed, is on disc 1.
