So yes I went and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night at midnight and I come back to say good things.

First let me say that this is probably my favorite book of all of them. Now I knew that this was going to be the most difficult to make because the book is much longer than those of the other HP movies. Mainly the movie was just the major scenes in the book, which also happened to be almost all action scenes. This made the movie different because it was much quicker moving, but this also gave it a rather rushed feeling. You don’t come out of the theatre with the same sense of a feeling like you were part of that world. But then again movies normally don’t accomplish that the way the imagination does anyway.

I still think this was the better movie because of the plot. I’m not going to say that I liked this director the best but the story was definitely much more captivating. Because the story was the most exciting is the sole reason why I think the movie is the best.

A few more complaints:
I think they did a rather poor job of depicting Mad-Eye Moody. His eye was supposed to be magical, not make mechanical turning noises. He was too tall and too antsy. (Yeah, I said antsy) I always thought oh Mad-Eye as a much more stone cold character. And I also thought that he was too tall; he should have been more dwarf-like.
Also I still hate this Dumbledore. He also tries to give his character much more animation than the way the character really is. Dumbledore is supposed to give of an aura of warmth and enthusiasm, but also one of power and authority. And the actor who plays him(who I am too lazy to IMDB) just makes him too emotional. Ian McKellen should play him. He needs to be more Gandalf-esque.

Other things:
The girls all harassed Ron about his looks.
I think Maggie Smith is still the best actor/actress in the movie.
I didn’t really imagine Voldermolt to look like that, nor did I really expect him to act like that, but it wasn’t bad nor disappointing.
I hated the camera tint. It made everything look very foggy and swampy.
Really was just not a fan of really many of the director’s image interpretation.

I don’t want all of this complaining make it seem like I didn’t like the movie.
The movie was still first rate and the best yet.
I just didn’t really care for the director’s style.
