Where was the original story ?

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2014)

Goblet of Fire is the 4th movie in the Harry Potter Film Franchise. As enthusiastic I was with the first three movies, how disappointed I was with the 4th. For the second time we fans had a different director and it was only waiting if that would be good.
The 4th film is more like a thriller, at least if you read the book. The weak point of this film is the storyline. How longer you read Harry Potter how bigger the books become. It looks like the Director and especially the screenwriter found it very difficult to be true to the story of the 4th book. If you look at the book you get a very clear view of Barty Crouch Sr. but in the movie he only has a view scenes. and when the Death eaters arrive at the Quidditch World Cup in the book it really is something serious but in the movie it looked like a Halloween joke. So looking at the storyline I think we failed with this film.
Mike Newell was also responsible for good things in this film. Again some actors had to be cast. Cedric Diggory played a quite important part in this part and I think Robbert Pattinso represented Cedric very good. But what about Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort. The scene where Voldemort come back to life again was a very great scene. It was a scene where fans have waited for since the first book. Although you don't expect it, you expect he will return some time. Ralph Fiennes played the role with moments of madness but also moments of rage and moments of calm. I was very satisfied with the way Ralph Fiennes did the role of Voldemort. The look was very important to make Voldemort really scary. And the good thing is Ralph Fiennes wanted it to be good. So I think they did a beautiful job on creating Voldemort. And Mike Newell was also responsible for that. We can as fans complain about the failure of this movie but we can also talk about the great things he did with this movie In this movie it is nice to see some development. You really see the characters are developing. Things are getting darker and there are coming more adult themes in it, why it is the reason Harry Potter is not 100 % a children's story. I love the dialogue between Harry Ron and Hermione in this movie you really see they are growing to be more mature. You see it starts developing they are not children anymore. So eventually I rate this film 8/10 : The good casting, the performance of the actors , the development of the series and characters, the growing darkness in the film.
