it was pretty much awesome :D

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2005)

this is definitely a movie everyone should watch. It is significantly darker than the past few movies, but it is probably what you'd expect it to be and more..
Good Points: The Triwizard Tournament, which is in fact the focus of the entire movie. It will literally keep you at the edge of your seat; the scene where Harry and Voldemort duel is truly and utterly magnificent; even though there weren't witty, intelligent jokes the film also offers some good laughs here and there; however, in my opinion the scene where *someone* gets murdered (most of you probably know anyway right?), and the scene following where everyone realizes he's dead and the whole school starts crying for him as Harry returns with his body is REALLY heart wrenching. You'd understand once you see it. And i swear the man next to me at the cinema was crying. In these last few scenes it's clear that Daniel Radcliffe and gang are definitely not mediocre actors. Bravo!
Bad Points: Yes, there ARE bad points. Firstly, because the book was crammed into just one movie, a LOT of things were cut out. Hogwarts doesn't seem much like a school anymore. You only see one short lesson. Next, the film's focus solely on the triwizard tournament makes it seem like they don't do ANYTHING else in school. And quidditch? I don't think we'd ever see quidditch again in the coming movies as the stories get longer and longer, and quidditch is considered irrelevant. Also, on Harry and his love interest, the scenes aren't played out well enough to show just how into her Harry was.
All in all, it was good and I'm sure if the movie could've been longer, it would've been nothing short of perfect. However its close to perfect as it is.
