Good, but quite a giant gap to patch =|

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2005)

First off, I really like the Harry Potter books, and I have enjoyed the first TWO movies (except for the relationships). I especially enjoyed the fourth book in the series, the Goblet of Fire. This review was made based on my viewing of the Goblet of Fire: Sounds/Voice Acting: 8 I enjoyed the sounds but the voice acting was somewhat...hilarious as more and more is being discovered. I noticed some spelling errors on the scriptwriters behalf, my most favorite being prof. Mcgonagall(sp?) about how the Yule Ball being on Christmas eve "NIGHT". Now that was pretty enjoyable. At times I could barely understand whats going on from the quiet voices and at others so loud...The only thing that made up for this was the main voice acting performance, in a class of their own.
Main Voice Acting: 10 Wow. not the game, but I really enjoyed the main voice acting, giving them a class of their own. While it could have done without some MAJOR drama, it was pretty fun and enjoyable to just be able to speak normally. The main characters were superb (just these three, no one else). I also noticed a more Harry/Hermoine intimacy...not that I'm complaining Book Relevancy: 0 O.K... This is what really gave me something to ramble about. I don't know what the director and scriptwriters were on but never, ever, even think about doing a less oriented plot than this. I've even seen movies that aren't even based on a movie with more relevancy to a book than this. First off, what happened to Dobby (he was "eh?"), how Senior Crouch Died, the Quidditch cup (really anticipating), experiences with Draco, Snape, Hagrid, etc. BUT what REALLY got me off was Dumbledore. I don't even want to know WHAT the heck was going on. Dumbledore never truly was angry except for the Crouch, never MANHANDLED his students (Harry), or raised his voice and was not polite. I was truly disappointed as Dumbledore was amazing in the books. Don't even get me started...The only thing this has in common with the book truly is the name.
Special Effects: 9 Dragon, Water, Maze. Enough said.
Scenery: 8 Excellent as always, but not enough of it (Hogsmeade*cough*) New Characters: 7 Eh, Cho=errrr?, Parvati twins=huh?, Krum=heh, Fleur=meh, Moody=LOL.
Hype: 9 C'mon, who doesn't even think about Harry Potter when someone says great books? Final Score: 7 I wish it could have been better, but a solid movie about random stuff so loosely based on the book it's better for book fanatics to not watch it. Still, I enjoyed it, but for the book's sake, get the Dumbledore into shape or dump the one you have.
