Review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) by Constant — 11 Jan 2006

HP4 suffers from heavy rhythm problems. You can tell from the directing that scenarists have struggled for months to fit the whole book into a 3-hour footage, yet at the end of the day so much is eluded and things stay at such a superficial level (dialogues never longer than 2 lines) that no pace can possibly install.

Ironically for "too short a movie", you end up looking at your watch. Technically, it is good though (but who would rate a movie on its technical achievement? so easy nowadays), despite the age problem for the main actors, which can easily be abstracted.

In a nutshell, not essential, less interesting than the previous one.
