Diggory Drama = Depressing

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

The movie was pretty good overall, but the ending had me feeling depressed. Out of all the movies I've seen, the ending when Amos Diggory had his little soap opera-esquire moment on Cedric's body was the most depressing thing I've ever seen. I'm not going to forget this. It almost made me cry. And they didn't even need it. Sure, the loss was something heavy on Amos Diggory's mind, but this is supposed to be an action movie. And the violins and the "NOOOOOOOOO!!! That's my boy! My SON!!!! BOOOO-HOOOOO!!!" was sadder than the Field of Dreams ending. I would've minded it if this was a non-fantasy movie since that's what can really happen in real life, but really people: Was the boohoo Amos Diggory crying 2 minutes of depression and emotional scarring really worth putting in the movie? I don't think so. I bet Cedric will end up coming back to life in the seventh movie and kicking some Voldemort butt alongside Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Dumbledore, Sirius, Frank Bryce, and whoever else dies that was on the good side. And imagine Neville Longbottom being the Heir of Slytherin!
