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

[Cristin]

Okay folks - it's time for my two cents (and I promise it will be brief!)

First, it's true that Drie and I went and saw it together and she and I agreed on many of the things she mentioned in her post.

I worship the ground John Williams walks on, and I seriously missed his work in this movie. Not saying this score was poor, just didn't inspire me like it did in the other 3.

Graveyard scene was PERFECT - exactly as I pictured when I read the book. I had tears in my eyes when Cedric, the old man, and Harry's parents appeared, and getting Cedric's body back pushed the tears out. Ralph Finnes was fantastic as Voldemort!

Loved the screen time the twins received, and the prefect's bathroom scene was outrageous!

Wish there was more with the World Quiddich Cup among other things, but can completely understand about cramming an entire story into a movie's time.

I think everyone is entitled to their opinions about the actors' performances. Me, I think they are improving with every movie, and I look forward to 5!

All in all, two thumbs up from me!

I am really enjoying everyone's comments. Went to see it again after Turkey day with my older two sons. Both of whom jumped in their seats at the dragon and the grindylow.

Christin, I too had tears for both those scenes. Amos Diggory was heatbreaking at the end and I was intriegued by how his words were the repeatition of Mr. Weasley's from the Dark Mark scene.

For anyone going to see it again soon, watch carefully in the scene with Fred and George and the GoF. After they banter with Hermione and she moves off to read her book - I swear that book is a hardcover copy of PoA. I don't know when I am going to get another chance to see the movie, so if you can confirm or deny this idea, please do.

Loved it just as much in the second viewing.
