Great

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2005)

The greatest of the "Harry Potter" series of movies, but the saddest, also. I will keep seeing it on and on, without getting bored not once. The actors are great and the special effects extremely well made. A few changes from the initial story-line in the book, but not too many, which makes "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" one of my newest favorite movies ever.
Worths all the money! I have yet a little problem with how Voldemort was realized, I've been expecting something more hideous, but works fine like this too. I have been extremely pleased about the way the dragon fight scene was realized, the details are wonderful, such as the dragon ruins the roof of the towers, and the fire he spits. I also loved the way the "Lake task" was made, although I wish those creatures were looking a little more different, and as far as I know from the book, there were males and females, not only non-defined ones. Howhever, this movie can keep you with the "heart in your neck", as we, Romanians, use to say. I am also amused that they used my country's name, Romania, as the country where they took the dragons from, and made me laugh, thinking that this country looks like the country of all possible monsters, thanks to Dracula and other nasty things met in the movies.
Some of the things that kinda bothered me were: the way Dumbledore acts, because seeing him so nervous and angry kinda scared me, knowing that the book Dumbledore was always calm and calculated, after all, he wasn't a great wizard if he was always so easy to disturb. I didn't like at all how Cho Chang looks like, I would have found a better looking young Asian lady, because this one looks so.... normal, has nothing special, nothing to pay attention for.
Hermione's (aka Emma Watson) acting seemed to me the worst ever of the 4 films, because, such as Dumbledore, she is so tense, nervous and almost all her replies are like shouting out loud at somebody, like she is about to lose control every single moment.
I don't care about the Dobby and Winky stuff, I didn't like them anyway, as for the Quiddiche games, I don't care either, so they didn't affect my opinion.
I am sorry, though, for the fact that they didn't show Rita as an animagus, thing important for me. The fake Moody was too evident with the tongue flick, but hey, it's a movie for kids, mostly, after all.
I was also expecting something else from Madamme Maxime, I was expecting something big, but also a strong woman, I mean, fatter, but this one was like a very tall ugly witch. And at the beginning she walks like the circus big-legs-guys, I am not sure what's the English name of those things you walk on them, wood made of, and you are very tall ... She walks like she got no knees and somebody has to keep her hand to help the actress walking or she will fall.
Generally, I won't change my feelings about the movie itself, because from all 4, this one almost made me cry from time to time.
