Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire PDF Print E-mail
Title: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 
Rating: PG-13
Rating Content: Fantasy Violence and Frightening Images
Review: Oh yes, definitely darker and more intense than the previous movies, but then the books also grow more intense as the showdown between Harry and Voldermort approaches. In Goblet of Fire, we see the children of magic growing into  their teen years, and dealing with the normal things most teens do, girls and boys, boys and girls mostly. As Harry and Ron begin to notice the girls around them, and Hermione is wooed by Viktor Krum, we see the interactions between the three change. As to the story it's self and the meat of it, it seemed a bit rushed to me. Of course one cannot possibly expect  a movie to pack<... is this right 734 pages?! Holee pickled hinkypunks> 734 pages of story into one film, even Peter Jackson couldn't do that. The film managed to hit on most of the high points if not the details of them in the course of the movie, and i do wish it had been a full 165 minutes to fit more into it. I would personally have liked to see at least part of the Quidditch World Cup, or more of the maze task, but they packed a lot into the film and it flowed quickly enough to keep me riveted to my seat. 

The action was exciting and I personally loved the Dragon task more than the others, and the humor is maturing as the kids in the story do, so we see a more mature trio and their troubles mature as well. The overall mood of the film was one of foreboding and it was meant that way as it does deal with a darker side of things to come. I found the representation of Voldermort to be as powerfully cold and evil as it should have been, and it set the stage perfectly for the next movie. The monsters and creepies in this one make it a scary proposition for the tots, but any kid who can read the books knows whats coming and should be able to handle it. The language is not a major concern in this one, it's earned the rating for the material involved and some of the imagery and violence. Take the family and have fun with this one, i know some say it's not as good as others in the series, but i maintain it's just different, some parts aren't as good, others are definitely better.
