Part 1:Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire review

Rating: 3/10 (19 November 2005)

OK its me and my friend Caitlyn...we just we're so disappointed about this movie because we had such high hopes...here is part 1 of our review: This is the official Harry Potter review written by freakishly obsessive HP freaks, Aubrey A. Rose, and Caitlyn J Leiter-Mason. Enjoy! First of all, we are not going to try and talk you out of going to see it, because we know you will. No matter we say you are going to want to see it for yourself so go see it and be warned, but remember what we tell you!!!
1. Mike Newell seemed to not be able to make up his mind on what kind of film he wanted to make. Maybe he missed the memo that he was doing the fourth and best HARRY POTTER MOVIE!!! Instead he tried to be artsy, big mistake; you get all these random artsy shots that make no sense just for the granola loving freaks. Then there is the cheap over done comedy, with all the freaky jokes that make no sense, there are a few good actual "Harry Potterish jokes" but when you get to those you can't properly enjoy them because all the other jokes were so forced and out of place. Also, Mike Newell seemed to have some kind of short-term memory loss because he placed foreshadowing hints that he later forgot about them. WE hope to god he is not asked to continue filming, luckily the Harry Potter directors rotate yearly.
2. We'll start by saying that the whole theater was filled with forced laughter from the poseur Harry Potter fans! The whole first half of the film was filled with cheesy "teen movie" jokes. The film was so obviously directed towards the teenage a.k.a ditsy generation.
3. Dan's performance was shocking! For some reason, his acting was too forced and did not seem as real as it used to. I'm afraid that some of his mediocre acting rubbed of on his friend Emma Watson, for her performance was surprising too. The two of them acted no where near their potential, could it be there aging? The stress? The new director? What ever it was, let's hope it corrects itself in the next two years.
4. The beginning was AWFUL!!! It didn't feel at all like Harry Potter, the opening was all weird and they messed around with the theme and used violins playing the theme in MINOR!!! It set the stage for a totally screw up of a movie.
5. The best part about the 4th book was seeing was Frank Bryce thought about everything. He didn't over hear anything and they used the same clip at least three times in the movie!!! Barty Crouch Jr., who I'm sure you all know from the books, was introduced rather awkwardly and was thrown into the first scene with Nagina, Wormtail, and Voldemort. No one could follow this scene and it was not dramatic enough. It was so rushed! 6. Suddenly we were in the Burrow and it did not feel like it at all. Mike Newell screwed the whole house up and it just sucked! By the wayÂ…no Mrs. WEASLEY! She was not in this movie probably for good reasons. I'm assuming she saw how much of a screw-up this movie was going to be and bolted! Anyway, the Weasleys' walk in their backyard into a horribly animated forest. U would think that with all the money coming in from the first three movies would cover a set for an actual Burrow and a forest. Instead we were stuck with cheap animation. They are then greeted by Amos Diggory and Cedric jumps out of a tree. Need I say more? Randomly, they are on top of a mountain and surrounding a boot 7. The port key scene, wow!!! I am guessing, well hoping that Mike Newell has a bunch of spy kids obsessed kids, because if he doesn't then, wow, he needs serious help. The people are spinning around like the thumbs-thumbs do, personally I wouldn't have noticed if they have thrown them in there.
8. They get to the quid ditch cup and all the tents were set up, here's how the quid ditch cup went: Irish, Bulgaria, Snitch and over. You don't even know who wins. There is a dancing leprechaun,and animated Krum flying everywhere and it looks like crap. Nothing works of feels right. No Winky! Fudge releases a snitch and it ends a bunch of jokes about Ron and his special friend Krum and its over!!! It was horrible!!!!!! 9. Then Mr. Weasley walks into the tent and is like "kids we got to go to the port key" and they are like "huh?" and they look outside and there is chaos. No one in the audience had any idea what was going on and it just looked like a bunch of football fans running around being chased by the Klu Klutz Klan.
