SO here's Round four. the final one before the half, terror that is the David Yates half of the series. D: so let's begin.
Plot: before their fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione and the Weasley family join Cedric Diggory and his father to the Quidditch World Cup. shortly after the game, the campsites for the Cup are attacked by Voldemort's Death Eaters. And before that, Harry begins to have nightmares about Voldemort planning something that has to do with him. Back of Hogwarts, Dumbledore announces that Hogwarts this year will host the Triwizard Tournament with two other magical schools; the Durmstrang Institute and the Beauxbatons Academy of magic. In this tournament, 17 year old students from all three schools can place their name on the Goblet of Fire and one student from each school is selected to be the champion of that school and participate in the tournament. when the champions are decided, the Goblet of Fire chooses the three champions from each school, but then it chooses out one more person: Harry Potter.
I understand why some people would not care to much for this film compared to the book, but personally I liked how they put it all together. The obviously changed a lot of it such as how Harry received help whenever he needed it during the tournament, but what they made it to be with that change, I thought worked very well. And it was also still very funny, especially with the Weasley Twins, Mad-Eye "punishing" Malfoy, and all sorts of other things. And I thought it was still very dark especially in the very end with that maze and what happens after that.
Actors/Characters:
Daniel Radcliffe/Harry Potter:Ah yes. the particular year for both Radcliffe and Grint where they grew their hair stupid long. Obviously I thought Radcliffe did a good job, especially with the dramatic moments, particularly with how he was expressing pain during the very end or with the death of a character.
Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley: Still funny, but also rather mean to both of his friends. but even then he still was the Ron we all know and love.
Emma Watson/Hermione Granger: Watson did get better in this film. mostly with her emotions in all the dramatic moments like with her argument with Ron at the Yule ball or when with came tot eh Death Eaters and the Horntail.
Brendan Gleeson/Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody: For many people- which is including me- This wasn't what people had entirely in mind when it came to Mad-Eye. which is not exactly a bad thing, but some people might've disliked it that way. But in my opinion, they did a good job with him, especially with his eye (obviously) and with his always drinking his potion.
Robert Pattinson/Cedric Diggory:well...he has way more movement, tone and facial expression than as Edward. In fact, some people playfully say that he really turned into a vampire because of that curse...which in that case, we would rather die. so let us raise a glass for Pattinson for two seconds for the whatever tal- okay the two seconds are over. back to hating this guy because he's popular for making pieces of crap.
Ralph Fiennes/Dark Lord Voldemort: He did a really good job. the end all around was a really good start in showing how Voldemort is truly dark and evil and Fiennes did and Excellent job in acting that out.
Music: well it was Jo- just kidding. It was Patrick Doyle. Although they obviously kept the themes from John Williams. I liked the music for the most part with this film. they were brilliant but they aren't pieces of crap.
Editing: I thought it was well put together. I mostly refer to the hints if you will about the Tournament and Mad-Eye. I think they worked.
And that is my review for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. only two more to review and then resend you guy my review for Deathly Hallows part one, and i'm all set and ready to go to go see the end of this memorable series.
