Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

<< < (8/13) > >>

Sideways:
I found the movie was rushed, certain unimportant scenes carried on longer than they needed to.  The passage of time in the movie was somewhat ubiquitous... and I didn't get a sense that these kids were in a 'school' really.  There was so little focus on that.  One of the things that has made the books more 'real' is by mixing the fantasy/magic elements in with the everyday dolldrum of homework and such.  A few of the scenes could have been shot with them sitting down, pouring over books/homework, having the plot-important discussions, like in the movies...

Maybe that's a minor gripe, I don't know.

The effects were very good, but I just didn't find myself as impressed this time.

The 3rd film captured the book almost perfectly, and this one didn't seem to have the same impact.

I thought that that was only a problem in the beginning. After that everything seemed normal. But then again you have to keep in mind it was a challenge to get this book into 2:45.

They could have cut that Dancing Lessons scene, though, and replaced it with a plot point somewhere else.

Aphi:
Yes, a plot point. Like, gee, I dunno...


*deep breath*

WINKY, anyone?

Or SPEW? Ludo Bagman? Bellatrix Lestrange? They all seemed sort of important to me, discluding mister Bagman, who would be optional.

And they didn't really even say who won the World Cup! All there was was Fred or George saying something like, "The Irish still celebrating?"

And what about Rita Skeeter and the illegal animagus thing? How's she going to write that article in the fifth movie? Unless they cut that whole thing, too... gosh, they'd better not.

And Harry never tried to push his Triwizard winnings on the Diggorys. Hell, we don't even know if Cedric had a mum, according to the movie. never showed her.

AND, Harry didn't give his winnings to Fred and George. Does this mean they're going to cut the Skiving Snackboxes(and their triumphant departure from school) out of the fifth movie?

Sorry. Certain parts of this movie were enjoyable, but for the most part, it made me want to cry. I'll have to agree on the third movie being the best so far.

Mnementh:
When Hermione sat on the stairs crying in her ball gown I thought "This is a very Molly Ringwald moment."

I have seen it twice already.

I have yet to see the 4th movie, but seeing you claim that the 3rd was near flawless is just CRAZY!!!  I thought it was the worst of them all.  I can't begin to list the things they've left out!
