Not quite what I expected but BRILLIANT non the less!!

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2007)

After watching Goblet of Fire, I will admit I was disappointed with the execution of the movie. I will further denote, that this is due to reading too hard into the book. I was expecting a play by playÂ… word for word and was horribly disenchanted when this turned out to not be the case. Some wise words were passed on to me, "It is based on the book, its not the book" With OotP on the way I finished reading the book, but did not fool myself into thinking it is going to play out the way I want it too.
My hats off to you David Yates, you pulled it off. The 5th instalment of the most, in my opinion, enticing series of books to hit the selves in a long time was well worth the anticipation.
I will acknowledge that sitting, watching the movie, you do real off the scenes in your head of what should and what should not be happening. Any avid supporter of the Harry Potter series would. But as the movie carries on, with its climaxes, excellent cinematography and stunning CGI, you can't help but enjoy.
My review my count for naught as a critic, but as a true enthusiast and constant lover of the books and movies. Give it a chance. Even if you have to see it twice, it is worth it!
