Well it made me cry...

Rating: 4/10 (19 November 2005)

This film deserved its mediocre ratings. This film is horrible from a production stand point, a music stand point, and acting stand point, a writing stand point, a directing stand point.
Lets get started shall we? This was a rushed production, loose ends left right and center, and if I recall right I saw a crew member on camera during one the scenes.
Music. Patrick Doyle makes me sick, its one thing to take the original score by john Williams, but to take themes from start wars and Jurassic park with it is just horrible and discussing. The music was not written well, it had no depth. And on the screen it was just there. I shouldn't be able to hear the music unless I try. Music is to set a mood which Doyle did not do very well.
Acting. Dan can't act his way out of a paper bag in this movie. Every line seemed forced and every acting seemed reluctant.
Writing. The script didn't flow, it was jumpy and poorly written. Good comic relief from the book was replaced by shoddy and poorly written comic relief. If you had not read the book this movie would of left you in the dark all the way through. No one would have known who frank was unless they had read the book. Where the hell were the Dursleys? I know they had been cut a long time ago. But I hoped they would still be able to make the script flow. I was wrong. Also where was the character development? Oh that's right there was none! Not once could i get in side a characters mind and fell what they did.
Mike Neweal or who ever he is. You should be ashamed of this crap heap you call Harry potter and the goblet of fire. You cant direct to save your self. Stick to low profile films, and leave the big ones to the big boys. I could of directed this movie a hell of a lot better than you.
This movie proves my point of. The British cant make movies they can just act in them.
I was looking forward to this movie ever since to book was released. This entire production let me down, Guess Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is still the greatest Harry Potter film produced. This production has so much potential and it was all destroyed by bad writing, HORRID music, mediocre acting, and Horrendous directing. This film almost made me cry, the 4th book is my favorite and to see it this way makes me scream.
So to all who made this movie, Congratulations on Screwing Up what was to be a great movie.
