Product: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Rating: 3.0
Still Disappointing
While I realize that things have to be left out when making a book of this size into a movie, I think it should be able to be done without making major changes to the storyline. The Lord of the Rings movies are a wonderful example of the right way to take a long, detailed story and turn it into a captivating film that captures the spirit of the book. That is my main complaint about this (and the other 3) Harry Potter movies. The spirit of the book -- the sense of magic and wonder -- is not there.Another small complaint I have is that the movie seems to made for those of us who have read the book. They skim over necessary details that leaves a viewer without background information a little lost. I watched this movie with someone who had not read the book, and he was pretty confused about several things that happened in the movie.
