Great Film, best yet!

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2005)

Well I must say I was really impressed. I'm really loving the fact that the movies all but two, were done by different directors. It makes everything feel so fresh because every director has a different way of looking and seeing things.
the port key to the tournament was really well done, everyone grabbed the boot and was warped up and it looked awesome Quwitdich cup was good, but not enough qwitdich at all! The death eaters were creepy, and had really tall pointy hats on which was cool the "dark Mark" was kind of lame, it was like a skull with this snake growing out of it and a big cloud.. and they changed it and made Barty Crouch Jr. let off the dark mark instead of Luscious Malfoy... they totally left the other house elf out... because she was supposed to have stolen harry potters wand to let off the mark so they thought harry had let it off... but that didn't happen Fred and George played a much bigger part then usual in the movie and I LOVED it... the script really let their characters show through more, and had them selling their tricks at all the tri-wizard tournament games. They were hilarious and it was awesome.
another interesting part of "upping" a character was Neville, the movie totally expanded on the fact that he was really great at Herbology. And instead of DOBBY giving Harry the Gillyweed for the 2nd challenge it was Neville who found it out and gave it to him. But I liked that to because I know it's building up towards other things that are going to happen in the book and....
****Book 6 spoiler if you haven't read it don't read*** I guess J. K Rowling and the director wanted to show the importance of Neville more NOW so that when they reach that movie the fact that Neville and Harry are connected and that either one of them could have become the 'chosen one' in the prophesy won't be as weird...
******************************* there was no kiss!!! and I thought there would be, but some really cute tension between Ron and Herminone.... who by the way looked stunning at the Yue ball! Cho Chang.... randomly IRISH?!?! what!! I mean still Chinese, but with a harsh Irish Accent No Oliver Wood makes me Sad.. :( Fleur, and Krum hardly spoke in the movie at all, i think Krum had like 3 lines, and so did Fleur, I would have liked them to talk more.
The CGI was actually GOOD in this movie, which made me happy... cuz god the CGI has been pretty terrible in the series (see back to the first harry potter and the mountain troll) the final challenge was kind of disappointing. No riddles or anything, just the forest attacking, and krum going crazy.
OK resurrection of Voldermort... it was creepy and when Cedric Died it was really sad.... Voldermort looked really funny... he really reminded me of a monk or something. He didn't seem scary enough. When Harry and Voldermort battle and their wands clash it is AMAZING, when all the ghosts come out and Harry sees his parents and they talk to him it made me cry, it was a really nice scene...
Harry coming back with Cedric after escaping was also really good, you can see how Danille Radcliffe has improved his acting GREATLY since the first film... he was crying over Cedric's body and then Cedrir's dad came over, and it was pretty emotional....
ummm.......... Fluer wasn't hot enough in my opinion, and they never mentioned she was half-harpy.... maybe that's why.
OH and RITA SKEETER!!.. OK REALLY good casting, she did an AWESOME job.. but they only really mentioned that she was writing annoying stories twice, and they never said she was an Anitmagus, or that she was really THAT sneaky and got information by turning into a bug... which was sad... but she was pretty sleazy and there is a hilarious scene with her and Harry in a broom cupboard....
I can't think of much else that was changed right now but all in all it was really good! Again... so everyone should go see it next week!!
