Half Empty Goblet

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2005)

Well after its long awaited release, does this film live up to the Hype? The answer is NO, Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire was a big let down. Mike Newell had the perfect opportunity to exploit the 500+ page JK Rowling novel but instead only scratched the surface.
The film from start to finish moved slowly and at times almost stopped this was apparent by the number of kids in the auditorium talking amongst themselves.
I think it's time for Mike Newell to hand over the Directors baton to someone else for the next HP instalment. Might I suggest a Mr Peter Jackson?
