After watching the Goblet of Fire..

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2005)

I have watched the Goblet of Fire last night and I found it good, but rushed, though. Some, in my opinion, important moments from the book were barely mentioned or not mentioned at all (Quidditch World Cup, e.g.), and events are happening too fast, so those people who didn't read the book can barely keep up with the story. Also, the scene when Cedric dies is rushed too (Wormtail says "Avada Kedavra", green light flies and Cedric falls dead) - the whole scene lasts for a couple of seconds, and that is, together with the scene of Voldemort's rebirth (which is also too short), key scene of the fourth part of the saga. I think that the movie would certainly be a lot better if it lasted a half an hour more, but what to do - what is done is done. That aside, that new type of shooting (with camera always in motion and short cuts) and special effects, make this movie an excellent adventure with no boring part, which makes this movie (in my opinion) the best in this serial so far, and this made me give a solid 9 to the "Goblet of fire".
