a tasty movie this is!

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2005)

I was a bit skeptic about the movie especially after I saw the trailer. It seemed to me they followed the way of the awful Lord of the Rings stacking separate episodes of the book in a senseless sequence and filling screen time with enormous special effects. Well, now I should admit I was completely wrong. Goblet is a quite tense movie. It has its own pace, breathing deep and breathing hard running intact with the action. And then the details are what pleased me most. They are the point of any movie, "words" of movie language. And the creators of Goblet managed to put the book into this language and not to spoil the main plot line. The only weak point I noticed is that maturing of the heroes goes somewhat apart of the action. Still this does not spoil the movie much. I rank it 8 and believe Goblet is keeping on the way Cuaron had chosen with his Prisoner of Azkaban.
