Absolutely Fantastic

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie is pretty bad. The acting and effects are worse than the previous movies. The plot is full of holes. The filler outweighs the story. Nearly every element falls apart when you try to apply logic to what's happening. Yes, this movie is entertaining. Yes, this movie is stupid. I'd only recommend watching this movie if you are already invested in the series.

Does no one else think it odd that children are thrown up against real dragons, murderous underwater creatures and whatever the maze might do to them after having been warned in no uncertain terms of the danger to life and limb ........ and then horrified, shocked and grief stricken that " a boy was killed" in the end. What were they expecting could happen in the three contests?

A young wizard finds himself competing in a hazardous tournament between rival schools of magic, but he is distracted by recurring nightmares. When it comes to this particular Series i really can't call myself as a massive "fan" i always found Harry Potter an interesting concept but it really wasn't my kind of tea if i could call it that but if there's one thing that i love about the Franchise it's definitely 'The Goblet of Fire' now i haven't read the book or the books in general but from what i have in my hands at this moment? This 4th installment is really my favorite of the entire series it packs great humor, suspense, adventure and of course drama. Who can forget that hilarious scene where the late Alan Rickman started smacking Harry's and Ron's heads so they could stop talking? Or that amazing scene where Harry goes against a Dragon? Or the terrific first look at Voldemort played by the excellent Ralph Fiennes. My favorite part was always the Maze it just had all this darkness surrounding it alongside the teamwork of Harry and Cedric trying to stay alive also speaking of Cedric does anyone else think that this is the most underrated character of the Harry Potter Saga? Cedric Diggory is a lovable, kind, brave and fearless character and honestly he is my favorite part of the film and Robert Pattinson should get more credit for his work in this movie from time to time just saying. The final confrontation between Harry Potter and Voldemort where Cedric asks Harry to take back his body and Lily and James Potter show up to inspire their son always brings a tear to my eye and of course Jeff Rawle's dramatic performance in the end completely kills my emotions. This isn't just a funny little film it's gigantic and pretty different from the previous 3 movies it's darker but also more serious, it has suspense but it also has a good story to tell. The direction of Mike Newell is superb and the cgi look fantastic and pretty damn believable. The actors do an even much better job this time around and there's also some pretty inspiring quotes mostly from Dumbledore in the very end where he talks about Cedric and it pretty much sums up my thoughts about the character you see Cedric wasn't just brave but he was a witness of Voldemort's cruelty he basically became a symbol of hope to not give up to fight for something or someone maybe? In fact i would love to see a stand alone Cedric Diggory film one time in the near future like his full story perhaps? Overall there isn't much to say here and personally i don't have any problems with the movie and even when it's slow it tries to make the viewer understand and be patient about what he is going to see and i wish that more people saw what i saw in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) because for me it's not just a great film as a fantasy film it's great as a comedy, as an adventure and of course as a drama that is handled very well thanks to it's amazing cast of talented actors that know exactly when to make you laugh or cry something that later sequels of the Series didn't achieve quite well as this one i'm afraid. (10/10)

After the magnificent Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire is just a horrible downgrade. Yes, the book is long and there's no way every scene would be in it, but so much has been left behind. The beginning is butchered, so is the school year. Now it seems like nothing else happened except for the Triwizard Tournament. The main characters had like one class during the entire year. They should've made the movie longer. Three hours may be a long movie, but it's better to make it long than make it seem like all this happened in few months instead of one school year. Seasons barely changed!This film includes the one change everyone hates: Dumbledore was supposed to calmly ask Harry if he put his name in the goblet of fire, but for some reason Michael Gambon's Dumbledore is furious 24/7 and even violent. It makes no sense. Of course Dumbledore is quite a reckless headmaster, but with Richard Harris he seemed gentle, just the right way. If Michael Gambon can't pull of that kind of gentleness, they should've cast someone else. Everyone loved Harris, he was the perfect Dumbledore. After he died, did the people in charge of casting just think, "Ah, f@#k it, let's choose someone completely different". One thing I like is how dark the ending is. It's a good prelude to how dark the last movies are going to be. Of course now it seems like the movies are starting to be too scary for kids. It's hard for me to watch few scenes because of how gruesome they are, so how do they except children to watch them? All the charm Prisoner of Azkaban is gone. If one Harry Potter movie clearly needs a remake, it's this one.
