Review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) by Charlie — 06 Feb 2006

Come on! This movie left so much of the book out that it was just unbearable to watch. I have gotten 10 times more out of the books and audio tapes that watching these absolutely terrible screen adaptations.

This movie in particular did the book no justice what-so-ever. The first movie was very very close where much of the dialogue was taken directly from the text or used in a way where you knew they were trying to consolidate the book, but not leave anything out.

But this movie just cut HUGE parts of the book out and massacred the theme. This was nothing more than an action movie and was not even close to the book. Terrible. I gave it a 3 because the special effects were good.

The next book is going to be much harder to make into a movie because there is almost no action until the end. This could be bad.
