Awesome movie. (Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2005)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire just came out here yesterday and I was one of the first to rush to theatres and see it. I've always been a big fan of the books, mind you. I'm one of those who wasn't too happy with 1 and 2, but loved 3. Now that I'm done with the introductions...
One word: Awesome. The movie was spectacular in every way. The CGI was absolutely brilliant! The acting was ten times better than in PoA. I was impressed, especially with Daniel Radcliffe and all the newcomers like Ralph Fiennes (almost unrecognizable here, as Voldemort), Katie Leung, etc. Rupert Grint was okay, but I'm sorry to say that Emma Watson annoyed me because in every scene she seemed to be in hysterics.
The script was very well done. This time, more characters were given time to shine. Characters like Fred and George (who were hilarious) and Neville had much bigger roles. The lines were witty and the movie was able to pull of being dark and action-packed, as well as comedic at times.
There were lots of changes from the books, but in my opinion they were handled very well, and I wasn't annoyed. Many characters were cut, but the script was able to work around it. It was pretty unexpected seeing the new stuff that was added.
All in all, it's the BEST Harry Potter movie so far. It has a lot of action, comedy, and even drama (one scene in particular made a lot of people cry in the theatre). My only complaint is how OOC Hermione seems to be in this movie. I blame Emma Watson. blech.
