Its look has the same grudging beauty that, once you get used to it, English weather does: It's so defiant in its grayness that you come to appreciate its conviction.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Another difficult year. It seems only recently that Harry received his letter with an invitation to study at the school of wizards, and now he is already in his 4th year. But this will not be an easy year (as always), because this year Hogwarts is ready to host the greatest Triwizard Tournament! Difficult and even dangerous tests await the participants, and only the Most will be able to take the cup in his hands in the end. And of course that’s not all... Evil does not sleep and is again preparing something for Harry, Ron and Hermione. I would also like to note the magnificent hair of many of the boys in this film. I don’t remember that it was in fashion that year. Otherwise, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an amazing film, as is the entire franchise.
Hold onto your wands because "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is a spellbinding triumph that takes the beloved series to captivating new depths. As our young wizards enter adolescence, the film navigates the tumultuous waters of coming-of-age with an authenticity that resonates deeply, while also heralding the maturation and darker tones that mark a significant turning point in the saga.
The cast's evolution is nothing short of remarkable, as they seamlessly transition from child actors to teen stars, infusing their characters with newfound complexities and relatable struggles. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint excel in portraying Harry, Hermione, and Ron as they grapple with the challenges of growing up in a world of magic. Their performances mirror the universal journey of adolescence, making their struggles and triumphs all the more relatable and moving.
His (Ralph Fiennes) Voldemort may be the greatest screen performance ever delivered without the benefit of a nose; certainly it's a performance of sublime villainy.
Inventive visuals and funny bits abound, but the film's gritty look and unsentimental characterizations - Harry, Hermione and Ron are far from golden teens - ominously foreshadow the truly wicked shape of things to come.
And again the movie has the problem, that some of the characters are so superficial and childish, that destroy the fun of the movie, the character Rupert Grin for example In this part even the story has is length, because the tournament is a bit uninteresting and the teenie problems are boring for adults.
On the other side the visual effects are top again. In addition the end of the movie is on a very good level.
For some reason, I didn't really care for this installment. Maybe it's because the entire series was finally getting into the 'dark stage', which is (book-wise) the way in which the saga was unfolding. Also, the effects didn't seem to grab me too much. I do want to point out that, even though I didn't like it, I still would recommend **** anything, just to maintain the continuity of the film series. I may change my feelings about it at a later date, but for now I'll stick with my ****...guns.
personally, the worst of the whole "Harry Potter" series, which is a shame, this chapter doesnt represent part of the saga,but just something completely apart, and the romance scene are too many and just plain. Sure had his own good special effects and im always impressed by them, but they just dropped out the storyline this time.
