The Good & Bad of GoF

Rating: 6/10 (21 November 2005)

OK, This Harry Potter installment was a biggie. There was a lot of things going on at once which i believe is very hard to portray in only a 2 and 1/2 hour movie. From the Beging this Movie is constant action. It puts us directly into the story without warning. So much of this constant action leaves little time to explain what is going on. This movie left out many key characters or doesn't give characters enough time to be in the movie. The Dursleys are not in the movie at all neither is Leudo Bagman and of course Winky. Also I believe that Sirius should have been in the movie more for he is now very close to Harry, as well as Harry's friends Ron & Hermione. I felt that they spent little time in the movie also. Draco was left out in the cold for this one. He only participated in the scene with the ferret (though that was a great scene). Some themes were also left out that I would have liked to see but it is understandable that something have to be cut out.I believe they should have definitely put the involvement of Rita Skeeter being a Animagius as well as more of the Quidditch World Cup and the Winky subplot. Besides the movie lacking some important characters and points I felt it lived up to the others standards. The Triwizard Tournament was extremely compelling and exciting. The Look and Visual effects were again amazing and the acting also extremely well done. So All in All i believe that the director did a pretty good job in fitting in so much into one movie. Though I would have like to see more, Such as the characters I mentioned as well as other themes and parts of the book I found important the look of the movie was flawless as well as the acting. My advice to The Movie Crew of GoF is to focus more on the whole story (not just Harry, though he is very important) and to slow things down not try and fit everything in at one movie but maybe extend the movie. Also put a lot of deleted scenes & extra content on the DVD and I think well be good
Thanks for Reading
