Daniel Radcliffe mediocre?

I've just read the Sunday Times review of Harry Potter and the 
Chamber of Secrets. Apart from saying that the film should be 
called "Hermione Grainger and the Chamber of Secrets", the reviewer 
went on to say that one of the main problems with Harry was Daniel 
Radcliffe: he is a mediocre actor. I was a little surprised by this. 
Firstly, it was contrary to my own views of his acting in this film 
and secondly because the general opinion seems to be that he has 
improved considerably.

I also read another review recently which said that Daniel Radcliffe 
was the "outstanding exception" to iffy child acting. This only 
serves to prove that whatever you read the only answer is to see the 
film yourself and reach your own conclusions. I personally really 
warmed to Dan this time - and I did have some concerns about him in 
PS/SS. I really enjoyed his performance and will be gutted if someone 
else takes over as Harry after PoA.
