Never read the books. Quite a tense grim fantasy for sure. I think I prefer this older Harry Potter and so do the little kids in family. Looking forward to the follow up movies.

It is much darker than the previous outings, but not as faithful to the source material. The only thing I didn't like so much about the book, was the subplot about Hermione trying to help house elves. It was cute, but interfered too much with the dark overtones of the narratives. The film looks dazzling, especially the ballroom scene. Speaking of that scene, I adored that dress that Hermione was wearing, Emma Watson looked unrecognisable in that scene.Also the music by Patrick Doyle this time was beautiful. I don't think it's as dark as the book, and I wasn't too keen on some of the casting. Roger Lloyd Pack and David Tennant were fine in their roles as the Crouches, but their characters were changed significantly. I did wish they made Crouch's disappearance more mysterious, instead of giving it away, ruining the suspense that was quite compelling up to that scene. I am not too keen on Michael Gambon's Dumbledore, I just don't remember Dumbledore being violent as they made him. As I've said already, I much prefer Richard Harris as the character. I am also on the fence about Mad Eye Moody. Brendan Gleeson is a very talented actor, evident in films like In Bruges and The General. He looked the part, but his voice wasn't exactly what I had in mind for Moody. I have listened to the audio tapes by Stephen Fry, and I imagine Moody's voice as low and gravelly. Although Gleeson mostly succeeded with his role, I personally think he tried too hard. My brother also noted that he didn't like the execution of the three tasks. I didn't like the third task, and the other two were fine. I did think on a positive note that Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort was suitably scary, and with the exception of Dumbledore everyone else was well done. All in all, a flawed but quite engrossing film, that doesn't quite live up to the darkness of the book. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Heck, the opening scene shows a characterThe Prisoner of Azkaban was rated PG, just like the first two films; but this is the first in the franchise to receive a PG-13 rating due to more disturbing images and more adolescent characters. Heck, the opening scene shows a character being cast by the killing curse that we hear for the first time, but hear only a fraction of from the Chamber of Secrets.
An intriguing irony is shown in the beginning of the flick where Harry finally has a satisfying summer with the Weasleys abroad the loathsome Dursleys and even attends a Quidditch match for the big leagues along with them. Following an exuberant night with his generous pals, a hellfire emerges and anarchy ensues, symbolizing that each moment in the movie is becoming more darker and minacious than Harry’s previous adventures, making the images look virtually like a horror movie. Harry’s adventure this year covers an integration with two foriegn wizarding institutions, who are more preparatory as each enrolls only one gender and they are at Hogwarts to compete in the Triwizard tournament for an unretentive prize: an empty trophy-figured cup. The tournament is more like a fatal pop quiz for the underaged Harry Potter who has no means of escape for his qualification in the top-notch survival alley for training wizards, envisaged with dragons and undersea venoms. Sensitivity and virtuosity is the key to finding the exit from these arduous obstacles.
The triwizard tournament has a strict adolescent policy whereas all members must be at least seventeen years of age, equal to the lack of the Trace on wizards. While Harry Potter, only fourteen has his hat thrown in the ring with his normal fellow opponents and is believed that he will cheat his way through the competition and will refuse to watch him suffer the excruciating consequences, but with Harry’s speciality, he exert himself to prove his doubters wrong.
The legendary John Williams forwent to compose for Harry’s enrollment in the Triwizard tournament and that meant there is triumph, but less charm and delight manipulation towards the audience. We can understand that the actors are growing more adolescent as they make more footprints through Hogwarts and that also means how the crew are profoundly making the movies.… Expand

What it does well is crank up the fear factor, particularly in the 2nd half and with that helps move this away from being a franchise just for kids.

Mantiene bastante el estilo de Cuarón, ese rollo dark/gótico está bastante bien, pero no termina de convencer, no es tan redonda como su predecesora, ya que cambia un poco ese rollo detectivesco a más un drama adolescente.
Empecemos con lo bueno, las actuaciones, cada vez van mejorando, Emma Watson es una auténtica locura, sumada a una dirección de arte que parece que se supera en cada película, vestuarios y decorados escepcionales, y el diseño de producción, seguramente de lo mejorcito de la saga.
Lo malo, le falta consistencia, no sé por qué será, pero uno de los causantes es que ya no está John Williams a los mandos de la banda sonora, y eso, queramos o no, se nota, es menos potente. Lo de las pruebas, está graciosete porque el espectador se siente mejor narrado, con una estructura más clara y ordenada, pero en cuanto a montaje, se acaban haciendo sosas, no transmiten lo que tenían que transmitir, me pierde un poco.
Lo que hablábamos antes del drama adolescente, speaking facts, lo alargan demasiado, no me interesa, quiero ver magia, se hace demasiado larga en muchas partes por el simplemente hecho de incluir esos problemas de la adolescencia en pantalla.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lord Voldemort is one charismatic maggot. The fourth HP movie captures the spirit of the first half of the original eight movies, while taking more risks that pave the way for its ambitious future. Hagrid and Maxime are so freaking cute together and I loved seeing the dragon less cool only than Smaug and Saphira take flight but not as much as Barty displaying the Unforgivable Curses or Harry and Voldemort locking magic beams like they're playing tug-of-war or mimicking Obi-Wan and Count Dooku's lightsaber lock in "Attack of the Clones". Mike Newell clearly understood the characters even if he didn't get the plot and it really shows for better and worse and let's face it the novel is like 700 pages long. It's a pity they couldn't do this with "Half-Blood Prince". Plus this is the movie that made me think the series was finally starting to make sense and you can enjoy it without being a total nerd.… Expand

This film is the adaptation of the fourth book in the saga of Harry Potter, written by J. K. Rowling. Alfonso Cuaron, who directed the previous film, leaves the franchise and gives way for Mike Newell, which comes almost as a contingency solution for the place. However, it was an excellent bet and gave fairly good results, with the film to show a marked improvement and the first use of massive and impressive special and computerized effects. It's also the first film where we see Harry Potter and his friends as teenagers they already are, a brand that comes up, very quietly, in the book, but Newell explores in this film, where the action and fight scenes also become more intense. The actors remain basically the same and fidelity to detail and descriptions of the original book is still evident. This film was one breath of fresh air in the franchise.… Expand

What's more frightening? Tackling a fire-breathing dragon or asking someone out on a date? Yet another improvement on its predecessors, Goblet of Fire is the funniest, most exciting, most emotional and most frightening Potter instalment yet.What's more frightening? Tackling a fire-breathing dragon or asking someone out on a date? Yet another improvement on its predecessors, Goblet of Fire is the funniest, most exciting, most emotional and most frightening Potter instalment yet. Radcliffe, Watson and Grint deliver their best performances thus far, showing a firm grip of the much darker and more emotionally challenging material here. Newell and Kloves ensure that the powerful material contained within its complex storyline is never lost; but they also manage to perfectly capture the angst and insecurity suffered by our adolescent heroes with a wicked sense of humour.

The ever-expanding ensemble are at the top of their game here, with top-notch performances from Tennant, Pack, Gleeson and Pattinson (I know, right?). But stealing the show has to be the Dark Lord himself, as Fiennes - with a little help from the CGI team - delivers a turn as Voldemort that marks a definitive transformation to the series. It's gonna be a rough ride from here on out.

Compressing a 600-page book into a film less than three hours long is never going to be easy, so the most faithful readers may not be totally satisfied with the absence of some material. For the rest, Goblet of Fire is simply awesome.… Expand

Mercifully starting off without including Harry Potter's abusive aunt and uncle, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire marks another director change in the much beloved series. Unfortunately, it also marks the worst entry thus far in theMercifully starting off without including Harry Potter's abusive aunt and uncle, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire marks another director change in the much beloved series. Unfortunately, it also marks the worst entry thus far in the series. At well over two hours, Goblet of Fire finally introduces Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in his physical form, but after two hours of watching quidditch and the triwizard tournament, the audience should not be blamed for begging for Voldemort to be merciful and kill them already. As the angst-ridden middle child of the franchise, Goblet of Fire is a film that takes too long to figure out what it really wants to become - the introduction of Voldemort - and has to beat around the bush for far too long to actually get there. Utilizing obvious tactics to draw Harry into a position to meet Voldemort face-to-face - entering his name into the Goblet of Fire and then letting him win - the film builds up in a shorter way than the rest of the series previously had. Unfortunately, the stage was already set so beating around the bush for two hours only winds up feeling like a justification for the film existing at all by providing passable entertainment as we wait for to finally get to the good bits.

Starting off at the Quidditch World Cup, this entry's cheese is introduced early and often with the goofy and childish introductions of the competing teams. With poor special effects completing the moment, the film's lackluster and overlong traveling to and watching of the match starts the film off on a deeply sour note. Director Mike Newell does rescue these moments, however, with the dark hints at what is to come. After Voldemort's Death Eaters tear through the crowd and burn everything in sight, the film takes on an ominous and dark tone that Alfonso Cuaron firmly established in the Prisoner of Azkaban. Unfortunately, this is rather fleeting. Jumping to the Triwizard tournament where, "magically", Harry is chosen to compete even when he is not eligible, the film further delves into predictability and convenient events to lead to its ultimate conclusion: Harry facing off with Voldemort. The film obviously needs to get there, but never finds subtle ways to do it and instead feels very telegraphed and lazy, similar to what really held back Chamber of Secrets from being a better film. Toss in the awful and cringe-inducing introductions of the competing schools in the Triwizard tournament and the film doubles down on the childish antics and overly indulgent faults of its predecessors that feels far too immature for the events depicted and the intended audience.

Yet, the film gets worse. Introducing the angst-ridden awkwardness of the formal Christmas Eve ball, Goblet of Fire expends far too much energy introducing the ball, their dates, and then the ball itself before finally moving on. Worse yet, none of it amounts to anything. Making bedroom eyes with some girl from the very beginning, Harry winds up getting rejected by her and going with someone else. Ron spends the whole time whining about being a "nice guy" with Hermione who just gets all pissy whenever they ask if she has a date. In overt efforts to pander to its teenage audience and try to relate to significant moments in their lives, Goblet of Fire really loses the plot. It indulges in these annoying and exceedingly dull moments for some sort of character building, but fails to entertain the audience in the process. Instead, it only serves to make us wonder why any of this is happening. Had the film gone somewhere with it, it could be excusable. Unfortunately, the second the dance ends, nothing ever matters again from those events. In its desperate and flailing attempts to find out what it is truly meant to be, Goblet of Fire finally hits on something that took two hours to reach: Voldemort becoming powerful again. This bit saves the whole film and is so overdue. Dark, menacing, and horrifying, the rise of Lord Voldemort lives up to every expectation. Ralph Fiennes captures the dark essence of the character, brings it to life, and becomes a truly demonic and horrifying figure to witness. After spending nearly four films hyping up Voldemort, the franchise somehow lives up to the expectations it set for itself. While it takes too long to get to this bit, the film's terrifying resurrection of Voldemort in a moment of bloody sacrifice is chill-inducing. The following scene of Voldemort and Harry squaring off is powerful and a great hint at what is to come. Buoyed by the appearance of his parents, Harry is given the power of love to overcome his greatest foe. While overly corny to a degree, it somehow works without feeling too saccharine. Instead, it feels matter-of-fact, as of course the film builds his backstory and friends for them to wind up giving him the strength to overcome his greatest foe as that is what really happens. It is not approached in a too sugary or manipulative fashion, rather it feels poignant and real… Expand

Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire is still conserving the darkness and eye-catching mystery of its predecessors. And thanks to its every-time-better interpretations and it's smart storytelling, there's no way it cannot truly soar.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "The Goblet of Fire" is another strong "Harry Potter" movie after 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' (2004), a movie that is the first to not be given the family-friendly 'PG' rating because this one is darker and more violent, if not, more consequential than the previous three installments.

Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are back and they attend the Quidditch World Cup, after the big event, there is danger lurking ahead as it seems that a murderer is on the hunt for Harry. As they head back to Hogwarts, there is another huge event that takes place called the "Tri-Wizard Cup", where they are informed by a newcomer called Alistair "Mad Eye" Moody (Brendan Gleeson) that no student under the age of 17 should participate as the contest and all the games involved are extremely dangerous and not for the faint of heart.

All the other schools also part-take, but it seems that there is a strange mix-up as when all the students over the age of 17 place their names in the Goblet of Fire to allow them to take part in the challenges, Harry, who is supposed to be 14, has his name on there, somehow. A confused Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) then proceeds to let Harry part-take in this tournament, which is risky, but they have no choice, nor do they have any knowledge of who placed Harry's name in that Goblet.

A reluctant Harry then decides to take these tournaments, but one day, during a deadly challenge, he comes across his parents' murderer, Lord Voldermort (a very scary Ralph Fiennes) who tries to kill Harry in the process, but luckily Harry manages to escape, unfortunately, a fellow student, Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson) didn't make it out alive, making this the most intense of the series, the fact that a student died under the Hogwarts premises, does raise the stakes for all the students, especially Harry, at Hogwarts.

This is a darker, more red-blooded, and violent chapter in the "Harry Potter" franchise, equally as enjoyable as its predecessor. The young cast start to grow even more in this world and in the Hogwarts world, the action and the "Tri-Wizard" tournaments have this style that keeps you watching. They have this sense of perfectly timed choreography and sure-handed direction (by Mike Newell).

The best is yet to come, this is where the series has peaked.… Expand

Faced with the challenge of adapting an immensely popular 700-page-plus book to film, knowing full well that virtually every cut would be greeted with wails from the book's millions of fans worldwide, director Mike Newell and screenwriterFaced with the challenge of adapting an immensely popular 700-page-plus book to film, knowing full well that virtually every cut would be greeted with wails from the book's millions of fans worldwide, director Mike Newell and screenwriter Steven Kloves made an entirely reasonable decision: They cut virtually everything from Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire that would be redundant with the previous three movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling's record-breaking bestsellers. Gone from the story: the usual intro featuring Harry Potter's obnoxious relatives, any scenes of the boy wizard learning or experimenting with magic, most of the conflict between him and his rival Draco Malfoy, and so forth. What's left isn't quite lean and propulsive: At over two and a half hours, it's still bulky, and a handful of scenes drag dubiously, while the opening and closing both feel rushed. But whenever it hits its stride, it's a well-acted, vividly executed, full-speed-ahead special-effects extravaganza that puts as much bang as possible into every remaining scene.

The fourth installment in Rowling's Harry Potter series catches up with the returning cast of the first three movies as they enter their fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where a traditional three-school wizarding competition is about to be held. Against his will and against the rules, Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) gets dragged into the competition, though not before a great deal of setup involving portentous dreams, the Quidditch World Cup, and the inevitable arrival of Hogwarts' new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher (Brendan Gleeson). Much of the movie is devoted to the contest, which lends itself to explosive setpieces involving dragons, mermaids, and a malevolent hedge maze, but Newell and Kloves manage to wedge in a great deal of economical setup and fulfillment, with foreshadowing, backstory, and intercharacter conflict all pared down to essentials but still given room to breathe.

By this point in the story, it's unlikely that the Harry Potter movies are going to win many new converts; to their credit, Newell and Kloves don't really try. With its slam-bang-whoosh-giggle-gasp mentality, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire could be a halfway decent thrill ride for newbies to the series. But its less-explanation, more-momentum mentality is really aimed squarely at the fans, who'd likely rather see more well-timed business from their favorite characters than a pile of dreary exposition and reminders about the story to date. For all its length, Goblet Of Fire speeds past all too quickly. But the real accomplishment may be that for all its brevity, it still feels like it tells the important parts of Rowling's story.… Expand

But it wasn’t the same as before. I was amazed by the story that time before I got a chance to read the book. I was impressed with the book more than the movie.

Let me first start by saying about how much it was cut from the source material. I was upset at first, but then I remember how long the book and they cannot extend the movie longer. I understand why a lot of parts have to be cut.

But let me list down some of the things of the chances that I am not okay with because I felt like they’re unnecessary or they’re important to the story.

Hermione hugging Harry Potter before Rita Skeeter gets a chance to take a picture of them for more publicity of the Tri-Wizard Cup.
The scenes where Hermione was training Harry for the first task.
Mrs. Weasley, Dobby and Winky were absent in this movie. Those three characters had important character development, with the last two mentioned having important story development as well.
References of Dementors’ connection with Lord Voldemort is removed.

Despite the numerous cuts, I still enjoyed it. But it’s sad it comes along with the irritation of how many cuts it have to take for the required running time.

I feel like some parts of the movie might not be understandable to viewers who haven’t read the book beforehand. They would make sense to them if they do. This is a common problem for books being adapted into movies, though this problem is (kinda) solved for YA movies such as The Hunger Games and Divergent.

The humor is still retained in the movie which is good because Harry has some quite sassy humor in the books.

They showed Rita Skeeter but she wasn’t featured much in the movie. She is a lot worst when I read the books.

I give props to the scenes where the tasks were held. They were better than what I imagined.

The movie felt a bit of a teenager movie but then again, the characters are growing up and that shows maturity among the characters. This is actually good if you wanted a story about wizardry but it also has a sense of realism.

I like how the tone suddenly became dark in this one. I hope this isn’t an unpopular opinion.

I enjoyed the movie and this remains my favorite Harry Potter movie despite its flaws. I like the book better though, sad to say.… Expand

To my surprise, most of them said they stopped after the Prisoner of Azkaban. Personally, I think Azkaban was the best one so far, so why not continue? The unanimous answer was that they didn't really want to see the kids grow up. In the Goblet of Fire, they aren't quite there yet, as in their 4th year at Hogwarts, the kids are 14. The story this time isn't centered around some mysterious artifact or person, but rather a world wide competition of student wizards. The Goblet of Fire decides who the best of the best are, allowing only one student from each school to participate. This film was special, but also lacked some of the intrigue that got us addicted to Harry Potter in the first place. Finally, a Harry Potter film focuses entirely on Harry and we get to see some of the great things that he is supposedly capable of. In fact, Ron and Hairmony's roles amount to little more than bit parts, where as in the other three films, they were all on equal ground. The fact that this was a competition takes something major away from the film. In the Goblet of Fire we aren't introduced to any new artifacts, games, or spells, there really isn't anything here that will amaze you. While it's a small thing, it's an expected thing, that does take something away from the film. What makes up for it is a terrific ending, that has to be seen in order to continue on with the series. For years, I thought Harry Potter was just overrated, pop culture, bull but once I sat down to actually watch it, I came to realize that this series is as magically as the world it portrays. Every one of the first four films has been fantastic and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for the wizards of Hogwarts.… Expand

There is a lot going on in the fourth Harry Potter film, love is in the air, there is a magical wizarding tournament happening in Hogwarts and Harry Potter is beginning his fourth year, Mike Newell certainly has the eye for a set-pieceThere is a lot going on in the fourth Harry Potter film, love is in the air, there is a magical wizarding tournament happening in Hogwarts and Harry Potter is beginning his fourth year, Mike Newell certainly has the eye for a set-piece extravaganza, the new film is brimming with them. But we are also introduced to the darkest tale yet of the ongoing adventure, with the introduction of one of the most frightening characters to appear on screen.
But Harry, played again by the ever growing Daniel Radcliffe, and his ever tolerant friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) have their friendship with the leading man tested to its core when Harry's name is picked from the Goblet of Fire, something only seventeen year olds or over can do, Harry is then a true public enemy within the school as many wonder, including Harry himself, how is name was entered, when Harry says it wasn't him?
As the hostility and suspicion grows around Harry, we can see that this is a very different Potter film than we have seen before, the whole friendly shock and awe of 'this is magic' is gone, and we are shown a very credible threat to Harry and to the wizarding world, we have heard about Death Eaters, and we see them rein terror at the beginning of the film, they are signalling a return to power, a return that we don't have to wait too long to see.
With a large plot and addition of two wizarding schools for the Triwizard Tournament comes a much larger cast, we see the the likes of Snape (Alan Rickman) McGonagall (Maggie Smith) and various other characters make sporadic appearances, but we are introduced to an array of new faces, Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ianevski) a Triwizard 'champion' and Fleur Delacour (Clémence Poésy) the same. We also have Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson added to the cast. This indeed can be off putting as a reader of the book, simply because of the limited screen time these characters and actors receive, but also for the amount of scenes that obviously had to be removed.
There can be a sense of rush while watching the movie, even though it clocks in at over two and half hours, but when the film hits a high note, it hits it with some force, combining its riveting story with some spectacular special effects, including a frightening and edge of your seat chase through a maze and a fight in the air with a dragon.
Its clear to see how far the franchise, the story and the real life actors involved have come in four years, how much the story has developed into a less child friendly and more gritty approach, but being as faithful as they can to the source material, another epic adventure has been created, and certainly starts quite the interesting chain of events.… Expand

Superb action! Amazing story! "Goblet of Fire" is for sure a great experience! If you watched the previous parts, you're gonna love this one too! My final score is 9/10, near perfect!

This film would have been fantastic if they hadn't left out so much from the book.

However, while there were many changes, this is also based on an incredibly long book so I totally expected it. Out of the changes, however, only one really bugged me. I hated what they did with Dumbledore's character. After Harry's name gets called by the goblet, he goes absolutely berserk in the movie and even shoves Harry. This never even almost happens in the book and is so outside of the character established already that it felt wrong. Nonetheless, if I try and look at it strictly from a moviegoer's perspective, it was probably the best of the movies so far. The acting was better than in the prior three, the plot progressed more smoothly, and the effects seemed better... especially the dragon sequence. While I wish they would've stuck more closely to the great book, they did do it justice. I would say I only deducted 2 points from the 10/10 maximum for the change to Dumbledore's character and for the fact that there seemed to be a couple of points in the movie where I would've missed what was happening if not for having read the book already. It's easy to get ahead of the movie somewhat if you already know the entire story so I might be exaggerating this effect somewhat but I thought it stood out. Still, this was a very good movie and I look forward to finishing the series.… Expand

Goblet of Fire is in my opinion the best written out of all the Harry Potters besides maybe the last one. The adrenaline and excitement race in this one.

Maybe it's because the entire series was finally getting into the 'dark stage', which is (book-wise) the way in which the saga was unfolding. Also, the effects didn't seem to grab me too much. I do want to point out that, even though I didn't like it, I still would recommend it...if anything, just to maintain the continuity of the film series. I may change my feelings about it at a later date, but for now I'll stick with my wand...uh...guns.… Expand

One of the darkest entries in the series. The magical feeling is still there, but a new feeling starts to make itself apparent. That would be the feeling of fear. A thrilling film!

I'll admit the gang has grown up a bit, and not all the magic of the first three films is present here, but Goblet of Fire is still a visually captivating fantasy adventure that is packed with surprises and some well done action sequences.

The films now look to be more dark and gritty with a focus on survival and a bitter war between good and evil. The special effects may be back in a large quantity but unlike CoS they are used correctly making epic scenes even more epic. Best HP film yet.… Expand

There are some great performances from the main trio and the rest of the main cast working around some truly terrible dialogue that the script gives them. If you haven't read the book you're probably going to be lost. Apparently the explanation given at the end of the book where the entirety of Voldemort's evil scheme is revealed and making some seemingly random events all connected isn't good enough for the movie so most of the plot makes no sense if you haven't read the book. This is the first Movie to feature the brilliant Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort so at least we have that to be thankful for. Also, why is the hair of all the boys so ridiculously long? Could they not afford hairdressers? Too much focus on the side plots, not enough explanation for the main plot and an atrocious script make this the black sheep in an otherwise amazing film series.… Expand

Spectacular film. The kids are just as good of actors as the adults now. Oh, I love that trio so, so much! Goblet of Fire takes a more dangerous approach and has a very spectacular and interesting premise. Pure magic for the young & old.

Its most likely not the best Harry Potter, but the action and story are still pretty good after multiple sequels.
