Bah humbug...

I have to agree... I was disappointed too. I thought the Quidditch World Cup was cut way too short - that could have been spectacular! Not a house elf in sight, major discrepancies between the book and movie regarding Crouch (and Crouch Jr.), and OH MY GOD the maze scene (3rd task)...?? Where were the blast ended skrewts, sphynxs, funky mist etc. I also noticed all of the humour and sexual tension that seemed to be more apparent than it actually was at this point of the series (and there was very little character development outside of Harry, Hermione, Ron and Neville Longbottom). Oh and what about Rita Skeeter and Sirius?? Hmmm... okay so I know there was a LOT, way too much, than could have been put in, but it seems that just clips of the best parts were shown instead of actually creating a story and great characters to follow.
The special effects were pretty cool though...
