Product: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Rating: 5.0
Good Movie
The book is always better than the movie, but looking at them as stand alone, #3 was a great movie and this one is even better. great special effects, funny, and pretty suspenseful at a lot of times. (the twins dying to get away from the guys at the ball kills me.) The chopped story should bother any rational person who realizes that movies cannot follow books. Doesn't work. However, the style of the characters can be translated acceptably, and in occasional instances, done perfectly. (Gandalf in FOTR, Marv in Sin City). However, in the Potter movies, Dumbledore has become a big issue. I think that he is by far the most compelling and exciting character in the books, and the movies (probably more Gambon. Seems like a jerk in real life) are turning him into a very shallow, mundane teacher, instead of the unbelievably clever and powerful dude he is in the book. Also, call wardrobe for the next movie and get the guy some robes; and out of that dress! Does anyone who reads the books imagine A.D. having to hitch up his slip every time he wants to take a step? (Also, Long White Beard and Hair, not Harley Davidson's Granddad. Jeez)Definitly see this one regardless if this is your first look into the world, or if you're a big fan.
