Good, but...
I liked the movie, but somehow I guess from all of the buildup to it I left the theater disappointed. It felt like we raced through it and that it was over too quick. Many things were left out of the movie that appeared in the book, but I'm not going to whine about that too much. I feel they should have stretched it to a three hour movie to add in more character developments of Rita Skeeter, Fluer, Crum, and Cedric. We don't get to know them and didn't feel the full impact of Cedric's death. Also Dumbledore is just weird now with all the bling he wears and his man-handling of Harry after his name is coughed out of the goblet was totally unDumbledore-like. That said, I loved the whole Yule-Ball scene especially Hermione's heartbreak. She is one to look out for in the future to be a great actress. All-in-all I'd give it three and a half stars, but maybe after seeing it again I will like it more. I can't wait for the special edition dvd!This is coming from a big fan who is also a parent who has read all the books.
