Product: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Rating: 4.0
Confusing and oh so dark (picture quality)
Again, as in Azkaban, I feel that the DVD picture quality is just unbelievably dark. To the point that many scenes aren't even visible. When the maze was first introduced, I got the feeling that something awesome was being shown by the level of the music. But I couldn't see anything but a dark blob. Azkaban was the same way, but when it came out on pay per view (especially the HD version), it was much lighter and brighter. I refuse to buy the next Harry Potter movie, because they have no commentary, so might as well wait for a movie that I can actually SEE.Also, I found this movie to be utterly confusing. It is my least favorite of all the Potter stories, so I didn't remember as much of the book. I have no idea how someone who hadn't read the book could figure out anything. This trend started with Azkaban. The 1st 2 movies were far more coherent, I thought.And what's with the hairstyles? Everyone looked the same. I couldn't tell Fred, George and Ron apart. Even Hermoine sometimes looked like them, or looked like Ginny.Someone please bring back John Williams. As the credits started to roll, I realized I didn't remember a single thing about the music. Certainly can't say that about the 1st 3!So why 4 stars after all the complaining? Because any Harry Potter movie is better than most other movies. I had heard that the considered making this into 2 movies. I sure wish that had happened.
