kippurbirdTitle: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Rating: PG-13
Type: Action Adventure, Fantasy, Harry Potter
Happy Ending: Reasonably
Number of limbs chopped off?: Wormtail's hand. But that's a bit of a duh, now isn't it?
Violence: Fantasy violence, dragons, wand duels, ect.
Sound track: Eeeeeh...
Plot Yes, but parred down.
Story : Everyone should know the story of the Goblet of Fire. A lot of things were cut out. The Dursleys, S.P.E.W. Rita Skeeter's scoops and being an Animagus. The Blast Ended Skewerts. House elves in general. The Quidditch World Cup (At least the Match). Ludo Bagman. Sirus Black (most of him). Veelas. Basically everything but the the Triwizard turnoment was cut.
Review
While this movie cut out a lot of the book, I think it did fairly well in sticking to the spirit of the book with out copying it line for line, like the first two movies. It wasn't as whimsical and sweet as the first too, and it was darker than the third. Because of the cuts, a lot of things didn't make sense. Such as why was Barty Crouch killed and just sort of laying there? It was never explained. Also what happened to Barty Jr at the end. The diverging of the Ways didn't happen as well, which is an important plot set up for the next book. But I guess it wasn't important for this movie which is why it was cut out. It kept to the turnoment which was done rather well. The special effects were done in such a way that they didn't overwhelm the film. The dragons were very convincing. I want a green welsh.

Date: 2005-11-24 12:31 pm (UTC)I also stick by my opinion that this movie was the best because it was finally a British director. He 'gets' it more than the others did.
And considering how much plot there was in GOF, it was pretty nicely done.
