Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie review - Aussieboyreviews

DOES HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE DECENTLY CONTINUE WITH THE FANTASY ADVENTURES?

This instalment to the Harry Potter series is fully packed with fantasy elements and magic. Although it won’t disappoint HP fans, the film is dull, overlong and terrible!

Storyline

When Harry Potter is selected as a participant of the Triwizard Tournament, he finds himself distracted by a dark conspiracy that endangers his life.

Aussie boy's thoughts

Similar to the previous Harry Potter movies, The Goblet of Fire transfers the uninteresting magic from the book and forms it into a ridiculously fantastical, excruciatingly boring and even duller film. This one is much worse than the past HP movies, and it’s difficult to understand how people enjoy this garbage.

There’s plenty of people calling this film “a little rushed” and stating that it also “captures the magic right from the book”. How aren’t they finally admitting it’s the complete opposite to that? It’s dreadfully long-lasting and the boring magical fantasies can’t save the pace. Just the pace itself will torment your time.

There’s the dumb music that’s already getting old, alongside the average acting and lack of enthusiasm. Go into The Goblet of Fire expecting 2.5 hours of Harry Potter to feel like a whole day you’ve wasted.
