Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

A Brilliant Conflict

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It's not as good as the other Harry Potter movies but had an amazing story. In this movie, the Triwizard tournament is held at Hogwarts, and the three schools assemble there.Now any one student from each school is to participate in this tournament, but from Hogwarts two children have been. They are Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory. Now, this tournament states that all the children above the age of 17 can only participate and Harry is below the age. The tournament also states that only one child from each school would participate. People now that they know that Harry is a contestant, call him a liar. Ron, Harry's best friend also leaves Harry. People started wearing badges that stated "Cedric rules. Harry stinks". I liked that part a lot!The adventures were really amazing. they were - fighting a dragon, saving a precious friend and the maze.In the maze, Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory together meet Lord Voldemort, where he kills Cedric. The trophy turned out to be a port-key. Now to know what would Harry do, watch the movie!:)

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)

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
