Goblet Of Fire - The Movie, What did you think? (Spoiler Warning) Options

[hershey]

Hi all. It's 3am! I've just got in from seeing GoF and it is brilliant.
Everything I could have asked for in the time alotted. A whirlwind ride, but I had heard it would be. You definitely get the sensed the entire film is rushed, but how on earth do you cram 700+ pages into 2 1/2 hours?!

Please don't read further if you've not seen the moive. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

Really liked how they reconstructed Barty Jrs. storyline to allow for no elves in the movie. Bothered only by the portrayal of the Patil twins both being in Gryffindor which I swear is incorrect. It stuck me as incredible odd that they would be sitting at the table together in the opening when everyone else is with their own house. Won't sleep until I check it out, but I am sure Padme was in Ravenclaw. The graveyard scene was incredibly creepy and Finnes portrayal of Voldemort was riveting. A bit disappointed the Velas were left out and I found Dumbledore to be a bit harsh towards Harry. More on that when I am not running off to sleep.

Jerry, must hear from you as to your opinions on the score. I found it to be a delightful change and perfectly intune (pun intended) with the storylines and the visual imagery.

Off to dreamland now my dears. Please share your opinions.

Becky, the reason I brought my acting background into is because you did to begin with. I thought it was a lame way of making a point about a movie and said it to prove that what you do for a living has nothing to do with if a little girl can act or not. I personally think she can't and you think she can. Have a ball. I hope for her sake that she ends up pulling it off in the end because it's what she thinks she can do.

No, I don't do theatre anymore because, personally, I think of it as a major waste of time. I thought studying it was a waste of time. But that's for me. It's why I didn't continue. If you feel it necessary to point out that you act and have worked with "rather big names in London" then great. I made my initial post to give my opinion of the movie, and you've just annoyed me twice.

This conversation is over because of it's rude to be doing this on Imogen's forums. No matter what we might think about it or what you do for a living, no one cares what we think. You go your way with your opinion and I'll go mine. That's all I have to say.

Sorry Imogen for all of this. Your forums are great!
