Not as good as I expected

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2005)

I am a faithful follower of the books AND the films, I love the both, though obviously with the books you get to make up your own mind as to what things look like, how things play out etc.
Virtually no Dracius Malfoy, when all he has done is plague Potter.
Absolutely no Dobby or Winky, when the whole of the book revolved around the relationship with Winky, Crouch, Dobby et al.
Multiple scenes which basically rewrote the book, Crouch Jr seen in the first scene, nothing at all to do with the Quidditch world cup other than a fleeting 2 minutes, the WHOLE of Harry's first task being redone, Sirius making a 1 minute appearance through a fire that even a dog could have made better, not even a sniff of snuffles either.
All in all, I could waffle on forever, I am just disappointed, the first three films I really enjoyed, they rarely strayed too far from the story in the books, this one however was disappointing.
Even the last test was natched beyond belief, there wasn't even any Boggarts or traps, just a terrifying(!) hedge creeping in on the champions.
And don't get me started on Voldemort. A good rendition of what he looks like, but otherwise pathetic.
6/10 overall, for at least having the guts to do it and make a decent job.
Oh, if you love the Weasleys, Fred and George have good appearances, but don't even MENTION AT ALL their joke shop.
AND Ludo Bagman isn't in it.
Snape has 4 minutes ish.
JUST..
Gahhhhhhhhh.
So many inconsistencies its unbelievable.
