Shot Glass of Fire

Rating: 3/10 (19 November 2005)

If you read the book, prepared to be disappointed. The movie was 2-1/2 hours compared to the previous 3-1/2-4 hour Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban and the book was twice the size of any of these books. They left out more of the story than they put in. This was like buying a Porsche and not getting the body. There will be people that will like the movie, probably because they never read the book. They were slim on effects. They must have really had a tight budget to leave so much out. Some of the previous films were so detailed, they were like heavy Cream, but Goblet was like was like Skim Milk, white water. Maybe Warner's has decided that the Harry Potter films are no longer a good franchise to invest in. I wonder what J. K. Rowling really thought of this one. Probably only her close friends and family will know.
