“A generic, non-descript bit of punctuation at the end of a series that deserved something more and just couldn't leave well enough alone.” –

Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)

“The film's pace is slow and deliberate, probably in an attempt to try to build mood and suspense, but all it manages to build is excruciating boredom.” –

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

4.5/5
EDIT
“In Azkaban, Cuarn has made a character-driven film almost completely devoid of a big, senses-shattering, Hollywood climax. Even more amazing, you never miss it.” –

“What the live action Batman films should be and could be if the Warner Brother execs could pull their heads out long enough to realize it. Frankly, the live action Bat-films are embarassing compared to this and the other animated films.” –
