| Description Adults who may have been turned off by the more kid-friendly elements of the first two Potter films should sit up and cheer; this fourth installment of Harry's adventures at the magic school of Hogwarts is more mature and darker than its immediate predecessor. This year, Hogwarts is hosting the Tri Wizard festival, and there may be a plot afoot to off Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) during the proceedings. Hermione (Emma Watson) finds a man worthy of her in competing Russian Quidditch champion Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ivaneski), to the chagrin of Ron Weaselly (Rupert Grint) who, though growing into a fine, shaggy orange-haired figure of a lad, is still not quite mature enough to ask Hermione to the Yule ball. Krum's teacher may be involved in the dastardly get-Harry plot, which involves writhing snake tattoos, skull clouds, death-eaters, tournaments with live dragons, a submersible schooner, and a competing school of poised and beautiful girls run by Maxime (Frances De La Tour), who shares a romantic past with gamekeeper Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). All the other favourites of the series are back as well, including Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith, and Gary Oldman, with Timothy Spall as the odious Wormtail, while a new addition to the A-list thespian roster is Ralph Fiennes. Director Mike Newell takes plenty of time to explore character development, but the story still gallops along at a breathless pace, with memorably intense moments involving fire-spewing dragons, dark magical rites, and near-drownings at the hands of slimy mer-people, all of which may prove too much for the youngest of viewers. Everyone else is advised to hold on tight.

Top Reviews  dark times lie ahead harry 21 of 37 people found this review helpful. No matter how much i ramble on about this film i dont think ill quite get across how stunningly impressive it is. the goblet of fire, the 4th film so far, is undoubtly the best yet. i even saw it in the cinema 5 times to try and convince myself that it really wasnt as good as i kept telling myself it was, but it is!!!! unlike the other 3 films i wouldn't recommend this film for all the family as very young children will probably be petrified by it, as my 3 year old nephew was within the 1st minute, no joke! however its still one of the best films all year if not ever!(in my opinion) this film really entertains you non-stop for the full 3 hours that it lasts and drags you through a series of emotions no matter how many times you watch it. unlike the earlier HP films, the goblet of fire has impressive special effects throught and is amazingly directed. im so entrigued by the ending i cant wait for next year and im patiently trying not to read the 5th book just to make the film that little bit better. i love this film and would entice everyone to buy it, unless of course, you dont want to be entertained.

My hubby bought me this to cheer me up while I had the Flu' - and it didn't dissapoint! <p> Great effects as usual and lovely music, a shock to see how they are all growing up too.. <P> My only gripe would be that they cut so much out from the book...but then I guess the movie would have had to have been 5 hours long! <p> All in all, well worth the money, this is one to watch over and over.

This film showed the development of the 3 main characters; Harry, Ron and Hermonie from children to young adults. This film is best suited to teenagers and the adult audience. The acting in this film in my opinion is fantastic and the special effects are magical. Review ID: 10000000000880632 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Harry Potter And The Goblet Of FireReview created: 02/01/07(updated 02/01/07) by: 4 of 6 people found this review helpful. When Harry Potter’s name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools – the Triwizard Tournament. But since Harry never submitted his name for the Tournament, who did? Now Harry must confront a deadly dragon, fierce water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in the cruel grasp of He Who Must Not Be Named. In this fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, everything changes as Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and take on challenges greater than anything they could have imagined. This is a great film and very worth watching. Review ID: 10000000002599198 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
