Geez, the movie's gonna be out longer than just this weekend. You shouldn't have any trouble catching it past this week. Hell, my city's got at least 5 seperate theaters (in the same building) showing it this weekend. Even if the count of theaters were to decrease by one per week, you mean to tell me that, if missing it in the first week, I stand no chance of seeing it in the next month. I'm sorry, but there's no way that I would ever let my life get so filled and complicated that I couldn't take a Saturday or any night of the week to go see a movie. Sorry. Not an attack on you, just stating my surprise.

It's getting way better reviews than the first two movies. Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 stars out of 4. He believes that it doesn't deserve 4 stars because some people that haven't read the books (and some younger people that have) may get confused during the movie. That's probably the jumping-around aspect you're talking about. 3.5 stars is still an incredible score, though!
Me and my girlfriend are seeing it tomorrow. I can't wait!

Absolutely. The Spoiler:
time-travel portion of the book can lose anybody who doesn't analyze it carefully. Hell, some of the people reviewing get the details confused.
Take for example, Rex Reed's review. He begins with this verbal assault on which, most people (89% of those who review on Rottentomatoes.com can't be wrong!) found the movie to be an enticing tale with a good plot, first class acting, and extremely good special effects. Beyond that, what can one want from a movie, apparently Reed must want something else.

So go, take the moppets in your menagerie, and check your brains at the popcorn stand. For two hours of escapist hugga-mugga, Harry & Co. will take your mind off the calamitous real world of a truly terrifying election year that is scarier than anything on the screen in The Prisoner of Azkaban.

I just disagree with him on this. It's called "suspension of disbelief", you ass. If he took a few minutes to stop projecting the world around him onto his opinions of the movie, maybe he wouldn't have not liked it so much.

Well, Jesus! With all the incorrect plot details he spurned out, I don't think we have to worry about that!
