Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets picks up right where the first film left off, which much of the principle cast and production crew in place ensuring a consistent feel to the film.
Chamber of Secrets is at times a little funnier and a little scarier, and is able to start quickly because there is no need to establish all the characters.

 Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets review
Chamber Of Secrets is considered by many to be the weakest book in the series, and I concur with that assessment.
The film of Chamber Of Secrets remains as faithful to the source as Sorcerer's Stone was, and while this may not necessarily be a bad thing, the film sometimes lacks the kind of passion that infused Peter Jackson's monumental adaptation of that other fantasy legend, The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring.

 [No title]
To summarize the plot: Harry returns to Hogwarts, learns of the existence of the Chamber of Secrets when he is accused of being responsible for opening it, seeks the true culprit, and has a run-in with a boy named Tom Riddle via a magical diary that provides a link to the school's past.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone came in for a lot of criticism for its lack of storytelling imagination -- many reviewers charged that it simply put the book into image form, without adding anything to the story or the audience's appreciation of the characters.
We listen to Harry nervously declare his innocence in criminal wrongdoing and his fear that he may be descended from a dangerous wizard, but there's no real introspection about his proclivity for rule-breaking, no underlying terror that his mysterious powers may come from a very dark source.

 GamingWorld X - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Review
The Harry Potter franchise (remember when they were just great books?) has grown to huge proportions, most notably with the popular Warner Brothers movie incarnations.
On that note, Harry moves just like he should- he isn’t a powerful wizard, he’s a boy who is still learning, and this is conveyed well.
Additionally, the voice acting in Secrets is spot-on, and though the voice talents aren’t the same as the actors in the movie, you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference.

Harry seemed to be more of a spectator than participant in his own film.
Yes, he's appropriately a follower early on in the film when being swept once again from the grips of his nasty foster family, but as the film progresses, his involvement steps up at a very mature pace.
Spiced with amusing magical details and seasoned with a mature pace, "Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets" is a fine choice for audiences of all ages.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second Harry Potter movie and as director Christopher Columbus notes, "You'll hear the familiar themes that all of us have grown to love and associate with Harry Potter.
Like the Potter novels, John Williams's new score is not a sequel." There is indeed a rich diversity, with a pompous march for "Gilderoy Lockhart", hugely colourful pyrotechnics for "Cornish Pixies" and a beguiling new theme for "Dobby the House Elf".
Along with "The Chamber of Secrets", "Gilderoy Lockhart" and "Dobby the House elf", these four are the newest themes to appear in the series so far, and each has it's own distinguishing features, be it "Chamber" serious, deathly march theme or "Lockharts" pompous and rather silly tune, they all contribute to a great soundtrack.

However, I predict its relative simplicity will make "Chamber of Secrets" the most successful book-to-movie translation in the series, as it is undoubtably better than the first movie, and it will be a daunting task for film-makers to tackle the intricate plot lines of book three and the collosal book four.
