Best Harry Potter Film

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2020)

This film is in my top 5 movies of all time and the rating is EASILY a 10/10 in my opinion. This movie is consistently great throughout, never has a dull scene. I would say it has about the same amount of twists as Prisoner of Azkaban, it is just as surprising as the 3rd movie. But what makes the Goblet of Fire truly special was that it had roughly the same level of action in it as Deathly Hallows Part II and it was more surprising than Deathly Hallows Part II and on par with Prisoner of Azkaban in that category. So already Goblet of Fire is the better movie on the first watch but watching a genuinely great movie is almost always nearly as good as watching it for the first time for me.
Deathly Hallows Part II is the most dramatic Harry Potter movie, it is the most emotional. But Goblet of Fire is equal to Deathly Hallows Part II in this category too. Goblet of Fire has plenty of emotional scenes like the graveyard scene, the attack at the quidditch world cup, Ron falling out with Harry, the Yule Ball and Harry and Ron trying to find dates. The thing that made Goblet of Fire so unique was the amount of teenage angst there was in the movie. Ron and Harry were so awkward with girls and trying to get a date and I loved this aspect of the movie, I could relate a lot to Harry and Ron struggling to find girls as teenage boys. We just don't quite get to see this in any of the other HP movies so in this regard it's an improvement. I suppose you could say Goblet of Fire had the best romance by far in a HP movie.
The graveyard duel was particularly emotional and it was pleasing to see Harry's Dad finally have the chance to more properly take on Voldemort as he didn't have the chance before as he didn't have his wand with him. Overall I recommend this film to everyone, the music was very good and whilst some people may criticise Michael Gambon's acting in this movie, I thought Dumbledore's shouting at Harry after his name was found in the goblet a very sensible thing a smart man like Dumbledore would do in order to find out the truth from a teenage boy.
