This Movie should have shown in 2 parts to enjoy fully

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2005)

first, i want to make it clear that the movie didn't fulfill my expectations i have after reading the book.
Now if you look at the plus points of the movie, Then it had managed some scenes gr8.
for e.g the three tasks (These tasks had somewhat change from the books.) Still 1st(dragons) and 2nd(under water) have some similarity but the 3rd task (maze) don't have any magical creatures as mentioned in book. It could have made it more interesting. Instead of this they have shown changing position of walls(this effect is also thrilling).
The yule ball is nicely presented. Also the movie have some good little scenes. Like the portkey use in starting, the weasley brothers Fred and George trying to enter there names in goblet of fire....etc.
In the end, the graveyard scene is gr8. especially the return of the dark lord.Its covered rushly but still its thrilling(but it does not mark harry's courage as it is in book). The dark mark appearing in sky is shown gr8.
If you look at negative points then....
In starting Barty Crouch junior is shown with voldemort which is not there in book (It is considerable change b coz everything cannot be shown shown in movie as in book but it decreases suspense which is crated by J K Rowling in book) but the movie doesn't give much information about him in which one will be interested .
one would have loved to see the Quidditch final match-the only Quidditch match in 4th part (in movie there is only intro. part of match). Also the scene of death eaters at campsite is literally rolled up. End of movie is hastily made to finish off movie in time limit.
Also Dumbledore is shown like a psychic person-out of control. He never shown shouted at harry in books but in movie he is shouting at harry after selection of champions. The book readers will never like to see him like this. Mad eye moody is comic here but its OK since it makes laugh for the moment.
there is no scope for different characters to develop themselves in this movie. for e.g there is no sign of Cedric being a good,helpful person which is shown in book at the end of 3rd task.Also not for Ron an Hermione.(especially Hermione...she never shown helping harry in spells ,etc.) this b coz director has to convert 700 pages book to movie. but it makes movie less interesting as it cuts many things from book.
Instead of this i would have like to see movie in TWO PARTS releasing them back to back. So that the story can be presented more effectively, in more details. true HP fans would have like it. IN this manner I think 1st part should have up to Yule ball and 2nd should have started from 2nd task. This could have shown movie in good details.
The 4th book of HP is my favorite one and i have expected Best potter movie on it. but this movie didn't fulfill my expectations. Still it had shown gr8 all the 3 tasks and returning of Lord voldemort,etc so i am rating it as 8/10(though i don't expect such cutting in next films).
After all, i can tell you to watch this movie at least once and enjoy it for 3 tasks and voldemort.
