Merged: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter IV is a good movie - in terms of cinematography that is. But that's just it... what pulled the movie up were the visual effects, and that was it.

The story itself lacked substance. I understand they had to cram an entire book into 157 minutes, but certainly they could have done a better job than that. The scences lacked transition and simply jumped from one scene to another.

It was rather awkward to see the insinuation of relationships between the trio (hermion and harry, hermione and ron) - since that wont really be established until the later books. To some it may be kilig , but staying true to be book - it's far from the truth. Let's be real here (in a harry Potter kind of way).

It's easy to see that the actors have outgrown their parts. Daniel specifically, as he is bigger in built and far from the scrawny kid we once knew. Emma was simply too pretty, again, far from the bushy-haird, buck-toothed girl we knew (and personally, I believe her acting was atrocious). I understand that style plays an important role to them, but they should consider that the movie is set somewhere in the late 90s, so certainly the styles we have now are different from the styles way back when.

It can't be denied that there were a lot of mistakes, but then again, they had to cram everything into 157 minutes.

It's funny to see Fleur as a prop right? I believe she had less than five lines in the movie - I actually feel bad for the actress. Was she just a pretty face in the movie? Viktor as well, poor guy. (it was quite disappointing to not see the quidditch tournament - I looked forward to seeing Veelas go wild. Oh well... )

I'm a bit disappointed, really. But then again, what do you expect from a movie based on a book? Ah well...

But I'll say it again, visually the movie was very satisfying. No doubt in that.

Yeah, some potion siguro... hehe

Now on the question why? I seriously think so too.. it could have been more practical if he did it that way...

but I think it would be more fun if I'd try to convince myself otherwise, so here it goes...

At first look, Barty Crouch Jr. doesn't appear to me as vain, no history for drama or flair but then he has the history for torturing the Longbottoms, so I think he gains good pleasure of making people utterly miserable.

Now this is just what I think:

It is very possible that Barty Crouch Jr. thought that nothing could be more ingenious than making Harry build some form of trust towards him... bringing Harry to the heights of glory of winning the Triwizard Cup then ruining it with the ultimate surprise... Now that would be more painful, that would really stick the knife into Harry...

I thought Barty Crouch Jr.'s case could be one of those fantasized plot one could make to exact ones vengeance. But then the phrase "Revenge is best serve cold." doesn't work in this case, it is more of "Glory is best serve with wine." since I don't think BC Jr. has a personal grudge against Harry...

So I think it must be glory that BC Jr. wanted. He wanted to rise up from the ashes and be written in history as to be the one great cause of the Chosen One's downfall...

Maybe he is in fact really vain... He might really have been seduced by the pretty face of evil...

hmmm not much new here! but just some couple of new revelations in Harry life..dun like much of the scenes cuz its night..i dunoo but if u knew a little of special efx but night often gives an advantage of little play in special efx cuz its hard to see...over all the movie isnt much of a big deal, but it just makes your 75 bucks worth checking.

Better viewed using mpeg-4 capable players from Makro (:mrgreen since the Maven release is XviD (Don't even try to play this on DivX capable players from Sony, Philips and other known brand players since they won't play this ). Also mas better ang contrast sa akong mga players gikan sa Makro than on a pc that's why I was able to see this (again) and Chicken Little on one of my TVs :mrgreen:

@cebu_tux ganz klar nga divx na bai?
