Re: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!
This has to be one of the worst movies ever.
They seemed to think that just because that voldomort bloke actually appears in this installment that they don't need to bother with a self-contained story to the film/book.
Complete garbage

My son (14) has read all the books and is a big fan. He saw this movie on Friday with friends and said it was really good but not as good as previous.
However he wanted to see it again and went with me and my wife on Sunday. My wife who is no sci-fi/fiction fan and I thought it was AWESOME. My son thought it was MUCH better the 2nd time around....
So there you have it..... I'd see it again for the quality of the whole ensemble - brilliant. Trigger was great and so was "queenie" from Black Adder as the reporter.

All the films have moments where I think "I bet that was explained better in the book", but this one seemed to have more than most - perhaps unsurprisingly, given the length of the novel.

I think there will be more on the DVD, but *for me* the plot line was hopelessly mangled. There are very good bits and great acting, but as far as the story goes it was completely lost. More like "selected scenes from _The Goblet Of Fire_."
Again -- acting was superb, great special effects, and horror and humour well done, but a bumpy ride.

Saw it last night, I must admit to not being a big fan, but the kids are addicted. The special effects are very good, although the whole film seemed a bit 'crammed in' even at 2 and a 1/2 hours long. It was also a bit odd, sitting watching British actors who I'm sure the Americans had never heard of, Eric Sykes, Miranda Richardson, Mark Williams and Roger Lloyd Pack...Trigger from only Fools and Horses "Ello Dave, I mean Harry".
