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.
