Goblet of Fire?? too short

Rating: 5/10 (30 November 2005)

This is the best that they could do? I should hope not because though they did an admirable job portraying the Tri-Wizard Tournament which is the general idea of the book they left out so many things that cross apply to the next movies to explain the twins leaving and the abilities that Harry displayed during each of the three trials that it leaves you wondering how they could chop this up so badly. Even at the end when Dumbledore tells Harry why his parents, the grounds-keeper, and Cedric's spirits appeared during the connection of the two wands that is a small indicator of the connection the two, Harry and Voldemort, share. I know that some of you out there are saying that this is a kids movie and it has to be short to keep their attention, but if the movie is kept as great as it is in the visuals and the rest of the story including, the practice room where Harry learns all his spells, the Rita Skeeter animagus connection to explain all of the news reports, the Floo network talks to Sirius, Ron's owl, and the Gift of the winnings to the Twins, not to mention all of the twins joke experiments. All of the above has been left out and if they only would have made an hour longer satisfaction would have been appeased on my part. Don't MISUNDERSTAND THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE BUT FOR ME IT NEEDS TO BE LONGER AND THE KIDS THAT ARE READING THE BOOKS WOULD WATCH THE ENTIRE THING NO PROBLEMS BUT NOW WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE MAKE AN EXTENDED EDITION ON DVD WITH THE HOUR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ADDED IN UNFORTUNATELY I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT WILL BE THE CASE. GO WATCH IT AFTER READING THE BOOK AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
