Rating: 5.0
Best (and Darkest) Yet
This was definitely the scariest and best HP film out of the 4. I went to the midnight showing with my friends, and it was amazing. I can't WAIT to get the DVD. Cedric and Krum were amazing, Daniel was even better than usual, and Rupert was still funny. Emma was beautiful. I did think the film was a little fast-paced, but that's what I expect. Understand the amount of time they have to shoot the film isn't very long, and I'm sure if they could, they would have put in most (or everything) they didn't. I was, however, slightly perturbed that they had all the hype surrounding the Quidditch World Cup (and even built the stadium) only to use it for about 5 minutes onscreen. I don't know about the rest of you, but that was a bit of a letdown. I was all ready to see an awesome Quidditch match, and then... then chaos. Newell knows how to drive a project, I'll give him that. Another thing that annoyed me was that John Williams didn't do the music for this film. The new guy wasn't too bad, but I missed the usual stuff. But if there is one thing the HP people know how to do, it's build suspense. The dragon scene was awesome, as was the underwater challenge ("OMG, I've killed Harry Potter!") and Voldemort was the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Hope we all can enjoy the DVD when it gets here!
