Disappointing, but nice.

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2006)

I was really curious to see this movie. I had been waiting for it for months, I had seen all the trailers, I had looked up every thing of information about it...And then the day came I got to see it. It was the 1st of December 2005. I went to the cinema with a couple of friends, expecting very much...well, I've got to say that I liked it very much, but it was also quite disappointing. The whole film, especially the beginning, went so fast, you could really see they had to hurry a bit with making it...it was really, as actress Emma Watson said, going like 'tsjaktsjaktsjaktsjak', the scenes didn't really fit together, they were all standing apart, if you know what I mean. But this got better in the second part of the film. I liked the second part better. The Yule Ball scene was awesome (it was really my favourite): I was really impressed by the beauty of the set, though I already had seen it in the trailers...Emma Watson, whom plays Hermione Granger, could be given the prize of 'Most Beautiful Girl of Hogwarts' Yule Ball', she really looked stunning in her beautiful pink dress. What can I say about Emma Watson: I am such a huge fan of her, so it's normal I'm prizing her, but she really HAD such acted in an outstanding way. I liked the line 'Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid was looking for you' very much, it's such funny and nice. What I want to say about the three young lead-actors in general (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma) is that they've really grown up. Daniel is sixteen years old, Rupert is seventeen and Emma is fifteen. Remember the time they were only eleven! Such wonderful how a kid can grow up...they've also grown in their way of acting. Such very nice. As I said, I liked the second part of the movie better as the first part. The Task-scenes were quite spectacular, I thought the Dragon looked quite real (I know, dragons don't excist, but I mean real in the way of a real creature). It was quite exciting, and so were the other two Task-scenes. The maze-scene was very nice...well-acted, and scary...the graveyard scene was even more exciting and scary...and in a way quite moving, I don't know why...I thought Robert Pattinson, whom plays Cedric Diggory, acted like he was death really well, it was such scary! One of the last scenes, where whole Hogwarts is sitting in the Great Hall, and where Dumbledore is speaking about Cedric, was moving too. Then something about the director, Mike Newell. A month after I'd seen Goblet of Fire I saw 'Four Weddings and A Funeral', also directed by him. I thought this film was wonderful. I won't say it's better as Goblet of Fire (I can't help it, I'm a fan, though GOF was disappointing), but I will say that Four Weddings was just directed better. So we don't know: maybe Mike Newell's a better director for comedies. Overall, I thought this movie was very nice, moving, scary, funny...but also disappointing.
