Missed opportunity

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2005)

I loved the first three Harry Potter movies and have been looking forward to The Goblet of Fire. But this movie wasted some great material. For instance...the arrival of the ship and the flying carriage with no warning or subsequent explanation. My wife had to ask me what they were for! It seemed like most of the dialog was shouted and rushed. There was almost no character development and little interaction.
At least a few scenes were good: the dragon chasing Harry and the graveyard scene with Voldemort. But what happened to the house elves? Any of them! We see Rita Skeeter for about two seconds! Whoever decided to make the movie in this form should keep in mind all meanings of the word "rubbish!"
