Battle with the Horntail Dragon Posted by Picasa

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire (Rated M)

I saw this last night on the opening with Steve, Mon, Chris, Dana & Lara.

It was interesting to see how different the directors shoot there movies, as we all know there have been 3 directors now & a new one for OOTP next year (like the defense Against the Dark arts teachers, ever changing).
Anyway, what I liked about the movie was it was quite true to the book & less changed like the POA, they included all the main bits & Lord Voldemort (played by Ralph Fiennes) was ugly as & rather spine chilling. The three actors are getting better each year, (Daniel Radcliffe looks like Elijah Wood, he's been mistaken so too). Cho Chang sucked (she can't act). The other champions (Fleur, Krum & Cedric) were pretty good too. Mad-eye was fantastic & Dumbledore a lil angry lol. Also the guy who played Barty Crouch Jr was awesome (exactly as I imagined) although I wish they had gone into the complexity of the plot, as this was one of those jaw-droppers plot-twists where the puzzle un-ravels (like when you discover the truth about Sirius, Quirell, shock).
This is a much darker film, exciting & more mature film then the first Harry Potter, much like the books which is what I like. It is a M film whilst the previous were PG. It retains the magic of it all & still suprises the fans of the books.
Well I really loved it, but then again I'm biased, Mon liked it, Steve liked it (hehe I turned him into a HP fan lol), Chris was lost a bit, Dana liked it, Lara didn't (why though)?? We have all read the books except Chris & I guess it gives you the in between details to appreciate the film more, as I know most who haven't touched the books have mis-conceptions about it.
GO SEE IT!
