Goblet of Fire Takes the Harry Potter Movie Crown

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2006)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a fantastic film for any age at all. It has comedy, action, and a great storyline. This film is a must see. We start off with Voldemort himself, but not really AS himself. This particular volume of the series is about his return, and the addition to some very vital characters. The basic plot is that after an odd mishap in a tournament of the wizard world, Harry must endure himself in three very hard and mature tasks.
The Pros: This is the first Harry Potter movie that has done a great job on following the story, and cutting out all the unnecessary crap that filled the fourth book. The first one did a great job of following the book as well; almost exactly, but that book was a lot smaller as opposed to the fourth book which is the 2nd largest in the series of 1-6 (page wise). The special effects and audio is fantastic, especially when watching it in a home theater.
The Cons: If you have read the book, you will know that the story gets a bit more depressing from here. The Goblet of Fire is also now available on DVD, but does not have the nice paper and plastic casing as the first and second Harry Potter movies did. Again, there isn't much wrong with this film, since it was butchered very well.
Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10. The actors, the visual effects, the surround sound, and all of the bonus features are fantastic, and can be enjoyed by anyone. Best Harry Potter movie that has come out by far. We'll see how they do on the next three.
