good movie, one bad actor

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2006)

First of all I would like to say that I really enjoy the Harry Potter movies although there are some things that need attention I thought that in Harry Potter 1, 2 and 3 Daniel Radcliffe's acting really spoiled the film because once you notice it, it's all you can think about and the bad thing about bad acting is that you really do notice it.
Thankfully the acting in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire improved greatly. I heard that Daniel Radcliffe actually had to have acting lessons for 'the Goblet of Fire' because otherwise the director wouldn't direct the movie. I do like the fact that this movie is so similar to the book although naturally a few things had to be cut out and sometimes it doesn't completely fit so it's a necessity to have read the book. I love the setting and I'm glad that this movie had become a bit more 'grown-up'. The performances of Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are really good.
All in all it's not my favourite Harry Potter flick but I sure think it's worth seeing. However, with most films based on books, read the book first.
