Nice try, but it deviates much too much from how HP should be, while its predecessors were intense, this one is intensely comical. In a good way it was entertaining, but certainly not how I'd like it to be.

First PG-13 film in the Harry Potter series is extremely unfaithful to the source novel, but it does not skip every single detail and leave slight plot remaining a la JUMPER, per se. We could see that the author's dark twist in the saga was being made an omen by the third entry.... read more

After Azkaban, it was clear that this series was getting darker and more mature with each installment. It isn't as artfully realized and beautiful as Cuaron's vision of the Potter universe, but what Newell lacks in that area he more than makes up for in pure thrills and fun. Gobl... read more

October 25, 2011fb712836066Another great installment in the Harry Potter film series, The Goblet of Fire was quite an amazing flick and provided us, for the first time on screen, with the children as young adults. However, the film offers very little in comparison to the novel its adapted from and leaves ... read more

I find this entry in the series to be a bit of a curiosity. It's a step down from the extraordinary entry before it, but it isn't altogether bad. It just feels a bit lopsided in a narrative sense. The front half of the film is loaded with character development while the the other... read more

Critic Reviews
[Newell] cannot do much about the slightly tired sadism that is creeping into the cracks of the Potter franchise.
The special effects are first rate but I think it's always going to be about the characters. And they're great characters. Full Review
It's always a treat to see what big-studio-franchise cash can produce in the way of top-flight British (and Irish) actors. Full Review
Screenwriter Kloves deserves a tip of the wizard's hat for cutting Rowling's immense tome (636 pages) down to size, and for keeping the story moving despite a surfeit of characters and incidents. Full Review
Not just an efficient babysitter but a wizard of a movie. Full Review
Wait a minute. Sequels aren't supposed to get better. Full Review
Newell deftly mixes in sweet teenage angst and lighter moments of physical humor. Full Review
This edition advances the Potter saga through the presentation of a variety of set pieces, some quite spectacular. And if the movie sometimes loses momentum, it contains enough grand sights and magica...
Frankly, the entire film felt like the cinematic version of Hamburger Helper -- too little meat trying to do too much. Full Review
