The greatest movie ever made..!

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie is very different from the first three in the series. The entire movie shows that the fun and happy adventure that were in the first three movies is not really what is going to stick around the whole time. The entire movie sets up Voldemort and his introduction was one of the best things in the entire series. He has a great introduction in this movie and all four events shown in this movie were really well done and great to watch and it does have a lot of great eye candy to it for lack of a better term. The actors really start to get good in this movie and this is the first movie that goes outside of Hogwarts and while Hogwarts doesn't really feel like a different character anymore, it is sacrificed for the series feeling like a much larger world of its own from this point forward.

A young wizard finds himself competing in a hazardous tournament between rival schools of magic, but he is distracted by recurring nightmares. When it comes to this particular Series i really can't call myself as a massive "fan" i always found Harry Potter an interesting concept but it really wasn't my kind of tea if i could call it that but if there's one thing that i love about the Franchise it's definitely 'The Goblet of Fire' now i haven't read the book or the books in general but from what i have in my hands at this moment? This 4th installment is really my favorite of the entire series it packs great humor, suspense, adventure and of course drama. Who can forget that hilarious scene where the late Alan Rickman started smacking Harry's and Ron's heads so they could stop talking? Or that amazing scene where Harry goes against a Dragon? Or the terrific first look at Voldemort played by the excellent Ralph Fiennes. My favorite part was always the Maze it just had all this darkness surrounding it alongside the teamwork of Harry and Cedric trying to stay alive also speaking of Cedric does anyone else think that this is the most underrated character of the Harry Potter Saga? Cedric Diggory is a lovable, kind, brave and fearless character and honestly he is my favorite part of the film and Robert Pattinson should get more credit for his work in this movie from time to time just saying. The final confrontation between Harry Potter and Voldemort where Cedric asks Harry to take back his body and Lily and James Potter show up to inspire their son always brings a tear to my eye and of course Jeff Rawle's dramatic performance in the end completely kills my emotions. This isn't just a funny little film it's gigantic and pretty different from the previous 3 movies it's darker but also more serious, it has suspense but it also has a good story to tell. The direction of Mike Newell is superb and the cgi look fantastic and pretty damn believable. The actors do an even much better job this time around and there's also some pretty inspiring quotes mostly from Dumbledore in the very end where he talks about Cedric and it pretty much sums up my thoughts about the character you see Cedric wasn't just brave but he was a witness of Voldemort's cruelty he basically became a symbol of hope to not give up to fight for something or someone maybe? In fact i would love to see a stand alone Cedric Diggory film one time in the near future like his full story perhaps? Overall there isn't much to say here and personally i don't have any problems with the movie and even when it's slow it tries to make the viewer understand and be patient about what he is going to see and i wish that more people saw what i saw in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) because for me it's not just a great film as a fantasy film it's great as a comedy, as an adventure and of course as a drama that is handled very well thanks to it's amazing cast of talented actors that know exactly when to make you laugh or cry something that later sequels of the Series didn't achieve quite well as this one i'm afraid. (10/10)

During the previous three Harry Potter films, a showdown between Harry Potter & Dark Lord Voldemort was always hinted at but never quite fully conceived. In "Goblet of Fire", however, that confrontation does indeed finally take place and vaults the series to new heights.For a basic plot summary, "Goblet" begins with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), & Hermoine (Emma Watson) attending the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasley family. While at the Cup, the Dark Mark of Voldemort appears in the sky along with a series of attacks on the crowd.. Thus, when the trio report to their fourth year at Hogwarts, it is with an air of caution and suspicion. This is no normal semester at wizarding school, however, as the Tri-Wizard tournament is revived for the first time in ages, allowing the Hogwarts house to see students from other wizarding academies. As the competitions begin, Harry (as usual) plays a key role in the proceedings, as well as the search for Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) followers.In terms of spectacular visuals, the fantastic aspects of the Tri-Wizard tournament make this film a perfect vehicle to really showcase some impressive special effects...which it takes full advantage of. "Goblet" is a visual treat to observe and really makes it feel as if you are completely immersed in the Potter universe.In keeping with the book, the character development and drama only amps up in this installment. The scenes at the Wizard Ball provide more insight than ever into the relationships between our favorite protagonists, while the big confrontation between Harry and the Dark Lord is absolutely riveting and almost steals the show in and of itself. A better actor than Fiennes could not have been cast for the role, as he truly is a frightening sight to behold.Overall, "Goblet of Fire" (like its novel namesake) is the best installment of the franchise so far. It perfectly combines adventure, drama, characters, music, and even some lighter moments to create a nice entertaining mixture. A few plot lines from the book are excised completely, but other than that there isn't anything else to criticize here.

Up until Goblet of Fire, the Potter franchise is a load of fun with some creepy imagery and dark concepts mixed in. But Goblet of Fire is the turning point in the franchise for me. Yes, Prisoner of Azkaban has its dark moments, but the grave sense of danger and threat isn't really present until the 4th film.The Goblet of Fire opens with a pretty terrifying dream sequence involving a deformed Voldemort, which may very well be my favorite opening to any of the films in the series. It comes right out and states that this franchise is no longer just a fun adventure, there are dangerously high stakes involved here, and Voldemort is a part of them. Of course, part of the fun nature of this film is its mysteriousness and the unpredictability. I've seen the film several times, but there's nothing quite like watching the Triwizard Tournament with someone who has no idea what they're in for.Goblet certainly brings some new characters along with its different identity. Most notably, Brendan Gleeson's Professor Alastor 'Mad¬Eye' Moody. Looking back, it's difficult to assess how much I enjoyed the character considering he was kidnapped for nearly the entire length of the film, but his impact on Harry's tribulations throughout the film are felt. I mean, why wouldn't he be an interesting character? He's just the 4th straight new defense against the dark arts teacher to be hiding something in one way or another.No matter, The Goblet of Fire is full of fresh adventures for the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Most of the film involves Harry competing in the various events of the tournament (which ends up feeling a whole lot like a Hunger Games), but there's always time for some quality trio scenes. Weirdly enough, this film made those scenes mostly deal with romance at the Yule Ball involving the three schools. It's admittedly the next logical step in these teenagers lives, but sometimes it can be a bit overboard. Some of it plays for comedy, but did I really need to see EVERYONE at Hogwarts, and I mean everyone, share the dance floor or have a scene with a love interest.In many ways, The Goblet of Fire is the turning point in the franchise, and the first time you see someone of importance get hurt in a grave way. Although you don't have a ton of time for Cedric to develop, his death altered the course of the series and the mindsets of those at Hogwarts. That in itself makes it an important installment in the series. Not to mention the fact that there's a dragon, a bada** maze, and one unsettling resurrection towards the end. This is one of the better films, by a good margin.+Moody's introduction+Voldemort officially returns+More mature and powerfully written than previous entries+Turning point in the franchise-Too much romance9.2/10
