 Movie-Vault.com :: Over 2000 Reviews and Counting...
Harry's encounter with the snake at the beginning of the movie sums up the emotional level the film is aimed at.
Despite the strong performance of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and friends Rupert Grint (Ronald 'Ron' Weasley) and Emma Watson(Hermione Granger), the fact the film is aimed at children creates a distinct lack of emotional involvement we are used to in some of the better pieces of recent cinema.
With no strong and outward villain for most of the film the pace and motivation of the story surprisingly held together quite well and is nothing but a huge testament to the abilities of the books author J.K. Rowling.

 Review: Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone
Of course like all paper to celluloid projects this movie was inevitably going to pose the question “but is it as good as the book?” but with JK Rowling firmly in control and overseeing the film production it was to be expected that she would push for authenticity in any case.
I found it a highly entertaining and quite inspired adaptation of the book; admittedly with some flaws, but I’d still grant it three and half stars out of five.
Basically young Harry Potter is something of a prodigious celebrity amongst Wizarding folk for surviving an attack from “You know who”, otherwise known as, but seldom called the arch evil dark Wizard, Lord Maldevort, who killed both his parents when he was only one year old.

 The Other Wurks: Review of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone movie
It has been one of the most hyped British books in recent years, now Harry Potter is carrying on the traditions on the screen.
For the minority not to have opened the book, Harry grows up in the home of his miserable Aunt and Uncle, Fiona Shaw and Richard Griffiths, before being confronted with his destiny at Hogwarth’s School.
The film may be too long for some people (two and half hours to be precise), but there was plenty in the first big screen outing to keep the audiences enthralled and on the edge of their seats and is the best advert the book could ever ask for.

 Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone - Movie review at CantBarsed.com
A fluffy Cerberus guards the Philosopher's Stone, which Harry and Friends hope to save from the clutches of the aptly named Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman, sniveling and pausing dramatically only the way he can).
Harry Potter snags piece of mind and Columbus finds his heart, although the rest of the film is nothing more than a solidly dull celebration of dribbling goo, invisibility cloaks (you'll wish you had one) and flying creatures.
Daniel Radcliffe's efficiently asexual Harry turns eleven, learns to snake-talk and is whisked away to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by his creepy "godmother" Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane).

It is still likely, however, that many die-hard Harry in print fans who have their own image of how it should have been will still say “not near as good as the book”.

Spells hiss and cackle at the tip of wands, footfalls echo and plod in the stone hallways of the castle, and creature mumble, growl, and howl, as you’d expect.
The game, of course, follows closely the events of the book and movie of the same name.
