Plot: Directed by Mike Newell, the fourth installment to the Harry Potter series finds Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) wondering why his legendary scar -- the famous result of a death curse gone wrong -- is aching in pain, and perhaps even causing mysterious visions. Before he can think too much about it, however, Harry boards the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he will attend his fourth year of magical education. Shortly after his reunion with his best friends, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), Harry is introduced to yet another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher: the grizzled Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), a former dark wizard catcher who agreed to take on the infamous DADA professorship as a personal favor to Headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon). Of course, Harry's wishes for an uneventful school year are almost immediately shattered when he is unexpectedly chosen, along with fellow student Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson), as Hogwarts' representative in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, which awards whoever completes three magical tasks the most skillfully with a thousand-galleon purse and the admiration of the international wizard community. As difficult as it is to deal with his schoolwork, friendships, and the tournament at the same time (not to mention his feelings toward the ever unfathomable Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), Harry doesn't realize that the most feared wizard in the world, Lord Voldemort, is anticipating the tournament, as well. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

How can you Apparate that far off!!!

Why do I even hope any more. this movie is just the same as the third one except with a different story and a new director to blame. GET THIS IN YOUR HEAD YOU CANNOT MAKE A MOVIE WITH JUST SPECIAL EFFECTS. This movie left so much out agin including Hermione's fledgling organization S.P,E,W, I wouldn't have minded this because Hermione's annoying but it seems the makers are so dicriminate of house elves that they have excluded them from the movie with Dobby's contribution to the story replace with Neville. The Yule Ball was awful with a short dance sequence and no reference to giants. Rita Skeeter has short appearences but they seem to have no effect on the story except making Hermione angry and there was nothing about her being an Animagus which was a needed point for the next movie. Sirius also has very little screen time only being a bunch of coals talking because the directors want to purposely overcomplicate things as to show off their wonderful special effects. The story again goes too fast excluding the Quidditch World Cup scene which introduced Viktor Krum. Actually it seems like the makers are being lazy and excluding Quidditch purposely just to give their poor animators a break so they can focus on making coals form a face and having spell fights. Now it seems like Dumbledore has transformed from a wizened wizard to a child molestor as he takes Snape's line and cue's and makes them his. The parts of the story that are excluded are mentioned instead of actually shown, clever I think not! don't get me wrong the book was excellent but it seems like they just want to show you one part and then the other and as someone mentioned before, if you blink you'll miss something. Anyways again I'm dissapointed, GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE. Another two hours of my life I'll never get back!

Consistently Getting Better
Added 11/8/2009

Up to the point when this movie was originally released, this was the best out of the four. Being one of the longest books in the series, it was plainly clear to me that a lot was going to get cut out. In fact, pretty much all of the sub-plots are gone, making Harry (of course) the focus of the film instead of going into these pointless directions. For those who haven't read the books and have only seen the films, I don't find it necessary that we see Hermione preaching about the rights of house elves, Harry living at the Dursleys (I think after three movies, the audience gets that they're cruel to him) and the Weasleys taking him for the summer and the Quidditch World Cup. Much like my complaint about Ian Fleming describing eighteen excruciating holes of golf in Goldfinger and the movie version trimming it to the last two holes, you can't expect an audience to sit around and watch and still find the main story interesting. Another prime example of sub-plot cutting is Peter Jackson's adaptations of three LOTR books. If he had included Tom Bombadil's scenes, the audience would probably be still be watching Fellowship for at least another hour. Now that that rant's over, lets move on to the cast. Main cast is still excellent, and now they've finally discovered the opposite sex, which leads to some humorous moments and a stunning entrance by Hermione at the Yule Ball definitely made Harry and Ron's heads turn. Ralph Fiennes, who is practically unrecognizable under Voldemort's make-up (maybe he still feels ashamed for The Avengers), just oozes evil and I detect a hint of elegance in the character. Action sequences are some of the best though the dragon scene does drag a little but the fight with Voldemort is an exciting one. Patrick Doyle picks up the music department in this and, though ably picks up Williams' themes, adds his own touch to the franchise, making this a better score than the first two and just slightly better than the third.

Greatest hits version of the book
Added 9/29/2009

Goblet of Fire was a pretty long book. In fact, it was the longest book I had ever read at the time that it came out back inn 2000. The movie came out five years later, and we all knew that things were going to wind up getting cut. Especially after the third one left so much out. The movie moves very quickly and doesn't really bother itself with filling in the audience with certain important plot details (priori incantatum, for instance), but the movie is really fun and will definetly keep you entertained.
