IF You Have Read The Book DO NOT GO AND SEE THIS!!!

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2005)

The only thing that was in common between the film and the book was the characters names!!!! I appeciate the fact that the book is indeed rather long and showing its entirety in the film would be impossible; but it feels as if someone has simple read every other chapter and made the film; this film should have been another hour longer!! The beginning of the book has simply been removed from the book and we start about one fifth of the way in, so those who have read the book will be annoyed from the start. Out of all of the Potter books the goblet of fire was by FAR my favourite, and from what I have read, the favourite of most, and so I had high expectations from the film, and was castastrophical disappointed. I went to see the film which some girls who had never read the books and they thoroughly enjoyed the film, as did the small children who were in the cinema. Credit were it is due though, the special effects are better than the previous films, and generally the acting has indeed improved, and for this reason I have not given the film a 1 rating, though I was tempted.
I know that those who have read the book will indeed go and see the film anyhow, but I must warn you do not get your hopes up.
