Now let me start off by saying I haven't read any of the Potter books. But this was the worst HP movie I have seen so far. First of all, a large part of the mystique of the hp movies is that based on the scenery, you can't really tell what century or what year all the events take place in, but you usually have an old-time feeling throughout. However in this movie, there is even a scene with electric guitars! It made it feel too modern and ruined the mood for me. Also, there was too much action and almost no relevant dialog. I say "relevant" because there was plenty of talking that had nothing to do with anything. Also, I thought the Tri-Wizard tournament challenges were supposed to be uh, CHALLENGING? well in my opinion Harry got through them WAY too easily. Also, throughout the film there are so many parts that don't need to be included, and there are parts that you THINK might play some role later on but they don't, and you just end up getting confused. Of course i'm still a loyal HP fan but i'm hoping the next films are more similar to the first 3.
