Amazing! Can't say it's the best one yet, 'cause it's so different! However, it was time to move on to the full frontal... PG13!

I have a difficult time accepting the praise this jumbled, preposterous, and over-the-top CGI incest-fest is receiving. Newell takes no time to develop any new characters, the soundtrack is a mess, there's all those laughable dance sequences, and instead of adapting any of Rowling's more complex social commentaries for the likes of our inner-child, Newell focusses mostly on the "Hogawarts tortures children" aspects. I should have done my research, then I would have known than Mike Newell also directed "Mona Lisa Smile." That alone is worth the $10 that would have been in my pocket tomorrow if not for "Harry Potter 4: Puberty"… Expand

Besides this, this movies is two and a half hours of enjoyment. The action scenes were done to perfection, and you can really tell Newell's influence in the romantic scenes. Ron's complaining and dress robes left the cinema in stiches while you could feel for Harry's awkwardness in asking Cho (Kaite Leung, who is very good looking) to go to the Yule Ball was felt by most men in the room. Many potter-geeks wont like it becuase it isn't absolutely correct to the book, but GoF was 600+ pages long, so something had to go. In all, a pretty satisfying movie, but don't go into the movie expecting a well constructed drama with established character development, expect a good time.… Expand

Just how do you cram a 600+ page book into a reasonable film length? And when the film started, I though I saw this unfolding, the first half hour is madly rushed and misses out on so much of the book. But after Harry gets picked for the tournement it gets a lot better. The ball, which I didnt take to in the book, works perfectly on screen and its great fun seeing Harry and Ron trying to score. The finale is transerred perfectly to screen and doesn't lose any of the awe. So this is a very good film and adaptation of the book. I think Azkaban worked slightly better just because of the sheer length of material this had to cram in, but 4*s overall. One thing though- isn't the whole tournement a bit of an eloborate way just to get Harry to touch a port key?… Expand

I'm extremely surprised by the many strong reviews. I don't know if the movie simply plays differently for people who have read the book. This film seemed to be a series of terribly-written and staged scenes with little connection. On a large scale, there was absolutely no feel of an entire school year passing- the action seemed to take place over about a week. Ron and Hermione had little to do; Hermione's romance took place without a single scene of conversation between her and the boy! CAUTION: SPOILERS. The worst part of the film was the utterly bizarre way that many scenes unfolded. Harry appeared to have no idea what to do during the challenges - he hardly used magic at all! In what way did he use his skills as a wizard to defeat the dragon? For the underwater challenge, he was simply given a solution, and once he was underwater, he used no magic except at the very end. Also, are we to understand that Ron, Hermione, and the others would have died if they hadn't been rescued? If yes, that's insane and it makes no sense that the Hogwarts faculty would go along with it. If not, why does it matter that Harry saves the French girl and why should her sister be so thankful? In the final challenge, Harry again never uses magic until he frees Cedric. When he and Cedric are transported to the graveyard, Voldemort's underling kills Cedric with no apparent difficulty, at a moment when Cedric is already on his guard - and this is supposed to be the strongest final-year student at Hogwarts, who has already succeeded in three Triwizard challenges??? And there Harry hangs in the graveyard, so helpless that he can be sliced open to collect his blood (and so passive that he does nothing at all while the underling goes thru a lengthy process to revive Voldemort), but neither Voldemort or his underling kill him right then when they have the chance? Also, Harry sees with his own eyes that Malfoy's father is in league with Voldemort- what does he do about it when he returns to Hogwarts? What happens to Malfoy or his father after that? Nothing, as far as we know. And then Harry walks into Moody's office and stands there passively waiting to be killed once false-Moody reveals himself to be in league with Voldemort, until Dumbledore bursts in to save him- Harry literally does absolutely nothing while Moody walks around and gives a movie-bad-guy speech about how he's about to kill him. Maybe these events are more coherent and well-written in the book, but in the film they made no sense and were maddening in their illogic.… Expand

The first two films in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and...Chamber of Secrets, directed by Chris Columbus, resemble what Harry Potter movies would look like if Harry's school chum Ron Weasley had been a film The first two films in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and...Chamber of Secrets, directed by Chris Columbus, resemble what Harry Potter movies would look like if Harry's school chum Ron Weasley had been a film director: like Ron, Columbus is generally quite competent at what he does, often a bit better when he applies himself, and generally he gets the job done. Potter movie #3, ...Prisoner of Akzaban, done by Alfonso Cuaron, resembles the work of Hermoine Grainger: smarter and more talented than most other folks out there, but trying so hard to make an impression or put an individual stamp on the material, that the result was more than a little off-putting (as the film's slightly disappointing box office and middling Metacritic viewer score illustrates). Mike Newell, who helmed ...Goblet of Fire, does so like Harry himself in his 4th year at Hogwarts: definitely facing some daunting challenges, he does so successfully and with confidence. As several other posters noted, Newell's and writer Steve Kloves' hardest task was to whittle down a 700-plus page book into a two and 1/2 hour film, and there's no question that something gets lost in the translation: I really liked the book's funny but heartfelt subplot involving Hermoine's lonely battle for House Elf Liberation, which is nowhere to be found here, and certain minor but significant characters (like Miranda Richardson's delightfully tart tabloid reporter Rita Skeeter) get significantly shortchanged. (On the other hand, my favorite Potter supporting figure, the endearingly clumsy Neville Longbottom, gets HIS role increased!) A friend once observed that perhaps J.K. Rowling's books would be better translated as TV miniseries than movies, because it wouldn't matter how long they ran and nothing would have to be omitted. I can't argue too much with her, but given what it was required to do, ...Goblet of Fire streamlined and intensified Rowling's material admirably. It focuses on the four-contestant wizard's contest almost out of the starting gate (Rowling doesn't really start on it until after over 300 pages); it allows the film to snowball in intensity as it goes along, successfully raises the stakes on the life-or-death importance of Harry's battles with Lord Voldemort, and allows Newell to show off his special-effects / action movie skills (which have grown considerably since his one other contribution to the fantasy-horror genre, 1980's forgettable Charlton Heston Egyptian mummy opus The Awakening). That's why the Hogwarts' formal ball that occurs midway through the film works as well as it does: it serves as intermission, comic relief, character analysis, study of the Hogwarts' kids as adolescents...and a chance for Newell to temporarily return to the skillful light but perceptive romantic comedy vein he handled so well in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Enchanted April and Pushing Tin. Best of all is Daniel Radcliffe, who continues to grow wonderfully as an actor in the title role; he perfectly communicates Harry's growing emotional complexity, fear and pain, especially at the climax of the final challenge: no wonder Newell employs so many close-ups of him! The actor has grown from "nice kid, but any teenager with a British accent can do this role" to "nobody in the world besides this guy could play it"! Radcliffe could very possibly join Sean Connery in the select group of actors who could very conceivably enjoy a long career in both a series-defining movie role AND in a series of challenging film roles outside the series: I'm really looking forward not only to the final 3 Potter installments but also to what parts Radcliffe has the capability of pursuing outside of Hogwarts Academy!… Expand

I went to see this movie twice: the first time I got free tickets to a midnight showing and the second time I got in free with a school group. Neither time did I have to pay, and I am greatful for that. I would never forgive myself if I wasted $6.00 on this movie. The movie was not any better the second time; if anything it was Worse!

Brilliant. George Lucas should hire JK Rowling to write his dialogue. If not for the LOTR trilogy this would be the greatest series of films since the original Star Wars.

It's a winner- don't believe any of the naysayers. I have seen (and read) them all & this is the best, so far. The only regative is the inability to tell the entire story- but almost 3 hours is a comprise. Read "Directors Cut. "

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a VERY good movie and VERY well done. The movie centers on Harry as he takes his fourth year into Hogwarts. This year, Voldemort's (sorry, "He Who Must Not Be Named") power is steadily growing, thanks to his servants, the Death Eaters. Early in the film, Harry and his pals are gathering at the Quittich World Cup. Quickly into the film, the characters are attacked-not by dementors this time- but by Death Eaters, Lord Voledemort's servants. (This part was very exciting.) The film moves fairly quickly, with more mystery than even the Prisoner of Azkaban had. Harry Potter is entered into the Tri-Wizard Tournament. How? We have yet to find out. Unfortunately for Harry, he has no choice except to accept what is in front of him. What also sucks for Harry is that people have died in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Yes, it's that dangerous. One thing new with Harry is that he is at the stage in life where he is changing. Hormones. More romance takes place, than it did in the others. For example, Harry seems to have a bit of feeling for Cho Chung. Ron gets jealous of his friends, because he can't get a date for himself. Hermione seems to have taken a liking to one of the other competitors. I remember Ron commenting "Bloody hell" when checking out the bodies of the French team. The movie generally is exciting and face-paced, but even if it has a length of 157 minutes, it still moves too fast for its own good. For example, they never tell us what a port-key is. (The audience has to figure it out for themselves.) The character, Cedric Diggory is hardly introduced to us. There seems to be no beginning the scene where the Death Eaters attack. It just happens out of nowhere. The movie never tells us why Ron gets mad at Harry. (It is because he is jealous, as previously stated.) Even if they took out parts of the book to make the movie shorter, they seem to have taken out necessary parts along with them. I did like the movie, but… Expand

After being underwhelmed by the first two Harry Potter I wanted to love this movie. I went to see it ready to be bowled over. I've read all of the Harry Potter books more than once, and the fourth, for me, is a high point of the series. After being underwhelmed by the first two Harry Potter films, 'The Prisoner of Azkaban' left me much happier and looking forward to the next chapter. Yes, a lot of the story was shaved away in 'Azkaban,' but the streamlined product had wings and I enjoyed it. The book of The Goblet of Fire, however, is twice as long as The Prisoner of Azkaban, and in slicing it down to a 2 hour and 20 minute movie (not counting the seemingly endless credits), they eliminated so much that the result came to feel to me like a Reader's Digest condensed novel -- compressed, unsatisfying, with most of it feeling rushed and superficial. Yes, there are aspects I appreciated -- Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Brendon Gleeson, for example. I liked that the Weasley twins got a fair amount of screen time. There were some good laughs, and the dragon they came up with for the first round of the tournament is dynamite (though that sequence is an example of where I wish they'd just followed the story instead of Hollywoodizing it -- on the other hand, I'll take that round over the film's version of the second and third rounds). But it when it came to the two key climactic scenes -- the confrontation with Voldemort and Moody's big final scene in his office -- the rampant cutting and compacting worked against them in a terminal way. For me, anyway. A lot happens in those two crucial scenes and I might have been able to live with the hypercompression of what had come before if those two scenes had been given the time they demand. (Plus, I never believed for a second that Harry couldn't have easily freed himself from the statue supposedly holding him in the graveyard.) For the life of me, I can't understand why the filmmakers haven't paid more attention to Peter Jackson's handling of the Rings trilogy -- a classic case of when excessive cutting of the story would have been fatal (as it was for me here) and where more turned out to be more, serving the material in a way the moviegoing public recognized and responded to.… Expand

I am personaly pleased with the fourth instalment. Director Chris Collumbus managed to stuff all the action in it while trying to make sense for all of it. However, he left out some unnessesary plots which caused unsatisfaction to certain people. As mentioned earlier, i loved HPGOF. It was fascinating and the computer graphichs were simply brilliant. I was simply awed by how the tiles flew from the castle roof when the dragon kind of clinged on it. There are also a lot of breath-taking action and wonderfull scenery. An adventure leads to another, it's as simple as that. I really enjoyed the movie very much, maybe it's due to months of anticipated wait. The celebrities however, play an important role in the popularity of the movie. There are, naturally, humurous parts of the film as a tradition, some from Rowling, but some implemented from Chris himself. It was really funny. My only complaint is, the lenght of the movie was too short. For a book that's that thick, it seems rather impossible for the director to minimized it to it's current state but he managed. Unfortunately, this resulted in difficulty in understanding the Movie. i doubt anyone would truly realize what is happening if he or she has yet to read the book. In my opinoin, the show should at least be 3 hours long, but 5 as a better option. He could have divided the movie into two episodes. By then people would not complain : Why no SPEW? Why no Winky, And Why No Sphinx? As a conclution, Chris has managed to pack J.K.Rowlings Fascinating world into an action packed film. This is the defining film for the whole series, a must watch for fans. It is definitely worth your bucks.… Expand

In this movie, I found the introduction to be very choppy and disoriented. Being a rather large fan of Rowling's books, I noted several things that should have been added in to make sceen to sceen changes move smoother through out the movie. Yes, I am quite aware of what it takes to create a film and many beloved things in the books have to be taken out, but some of the things they did keep seemed unessessary and could have been replaced with another sceen somewhere else in the script. I do, however, think there is an admirable balance between graphics and acting. The wonderful fantastical events, like dragons and Port Key travel, were awesome in graphics. At this point, it is less believable that charactors such as Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton 18) and Ron Weasley(Rupert Grint 17) were really 14. By the time the charactors have reached seventh year, the actors will be in their early twenties. I know that changing actors is very risky business, but I am sure that Draco legally able to by Alcohol in the USA is quite a ridiculous thing. I do admire the actors increasing skill and maturity throughout the film series. Thank you for your time.… Expand

There are, after all, worse things than having exposition in a movie. Such as leaving your viewers with no friggin idea what the hell is happening. And this is pretty much what happened to me in the final twenty minutes of this film. I had a few moments of confusion early on, but I was pretty much following along until the final maze sequence, where events start moving very fast, nothing is explained and then, as a final, crowning insult, Harry Potter actually asks his school headmaster exactly what happened (took the words right out of my mouth, Harry) and, in reply, the old Professor mumbles two words --- in Latin--- and that, apparently, is supposed to explain that. Now, keep in mind that I have read Goblet of Fire, albeit some time ago. And, strangely enough, I've read Latin as well. Despite these facts however, I did not find that a short mumbled Latin phrase constituted an intelligable explanation of the end of this picture. My daughter has subsequently explaned it to me and I now understand it (I guess). I think, however, that it would have been bette r to make the story clear without forcing people to resort to an external gloss. That said, the movie is extremely beautiful and, more than any of the previous films, manages to make the school seem alive, perhaps simply because many more extras are employed. The CGI is superb and the magical effects generally manage the important trick of not looking like effects. The acting is up to or above previous standards but everything does seem a little rushed. In particular the major villian's return at the end of the film unwinds almost comically fast. A villian has to be given time to generate some sense of.... evil. All that Fiennes generates is a sense of being in a hurry.… Expand
