All hype and no style

Rating: 3/10 (23 November 2005)

I found "The Goblet of Fire" to be very uneven. From the start of the movie until two hours in, nothing really happens in the way of plot development or story. Suddenly the story turns very dark, too dark for children in my opinion. The drama unfolding in the last half hour also exposes the weakness of most of the actors in this movie. Most are obviously under skilled to carry the script.
I always try to find something positive in a movie. That said, Ralph Fiennes stands out in a wonderful but all too short appearance as Lord Voldemort. Emma Watson has obvious talent, perhaps "Hermione Granger and the Magical Script" would be a better idea for the next installment in this series.
