Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (2005), C+
Flawed but worthy.
Finally I watched this movies on DVD. There are some interesting things in there, but less interesting that I have expected. Besides this, this movie is quite flawed.
Let’s talk about the tournament.
First the dragon. Where have other three dragons gone to? And it is not fun for the chasing.
Second, the underwater thing. Actually it looks like some game in World of the Warcraft. However, it is too short, it is not exciting, and ended so soon that I am deeply disappointed. WOW itself would much more fun than this part!Third, the maze. It is the same as underwater scene. Nothing is really going on in the maze. Lost yourself in the maze? I could not see anything related to that. What’s more, I don’t even see why we need this maze! What does the maze test the champions? Maybe just I don’t get it.
And the fight between Harry and You-know-who is also bland. I believe many people might be disappointed, especially if they have read the book. I did not read the book, but I believe the book would be better.
At last, the acting. I could not see any acting that’s worth mentioning. Harry seem to be nervous all the time while he should not be, because he has experienced so much. Stop acting like a kid who’s never seen the world! The girl, what’s her name? She is always acting strange and weird. Where has her smart gone? Cho, well, not impressed by this Asian girl either. Ron, not even funny any more.
There are more flaws. The plot is far from perfect. So many things not well explained like previous Harry Potter movies. C+, would be my score for it.
