Harry Potter 4 (The Goblet of Fire)

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2005)

This movie is incredible!
From the very onset of this movie it had a much different feel than all of the other movies. For those of you who keep up with my reviews I was not a big fan of HP3! I loved HP1 and HP2 but HP3 was lacking.
WELL I'm back on the HP bus again. This fourth installment was absolutely brilliant. I loved the fact that we are growing up with the characters. Dan Radcliffe (harry) is now a teenager. Now that the movie is going into that territory and there will be no shortage of Harry Potter movies in the future I loved that they dealt with them simply growing up.
They with a number of coming of age things like getting a date, loyalty amongst friends, and awkward sexual tension. Hey it's in there! This movie was almost three hours long, but I loved every second of it. This movie is centered around a Tri-Wizard Competition which in and of itself was remarkable.
Harry is forced to grow up in this movie. I loved how the movie showed that Harry may be great, but he still needs help from time to time. It was awesome being in the movie looking around at all of the under 13 kids who seemed terrified by the dark imagery in this movie. I know this movie will be another record breaker!
This is hands down the best of the franchise since HP1 and this is a nice restart for the franchise. I loved this movie and I would've given it a 10 except for it drags on some places.
As many of you who read my reviews I tried not to expose any plot points so go and see this movie, it's a good one!
