harry potter and the goblet of fire
Yup, this evening we went to see the fourth of Harry Potter’s saga… The goblet of fire… Well let’s just say that it let me down in ooow so many ways… If the book was around +-500pages… then let’s say if I wrote a book about what happened in the movie I might get it down to +-100 pages… A complete piece of story cutted out? what was he thinking??? well he directed some good ones, like Donnie Brasco and stuff like that, but this one… Nope… the first three were imo better directed (like I know…) Directed by Columbus… And it appears that the next movie will also be directed by someone else… wonder what he’s going to cut out… like say page 200 till 350???
Naaah truly, I was a bit disappointed when I left the theatre… There something like RTFM (which stands for Read The Fucking Manual), now in this case you might wanna RTFB before you go see this movie… (Read The Fucking Book)…
You just get rushed over the movie like it was no biggie all these things happened, spending only e.g. 5min over something that took 2 chapters in the book (makes no sense if you ask me) … The tagline of this movie : “Difficult times lie ahead, Harry.” Well in this case yeah, if you haven’t read the book, difficult times surely lay ahead as you don’t have a freakin clue what’s it all about… Well you might be entertained and stuff like that, you might grab a bit of the storyline, but hey… it goes waaay deeper then this movie’s showing you… So… At the end of the evening I felt disappointed – rebuilding the TOTAL storyline – adding my own recollections of the book to the movie… I don’t think it’s supposed to go that way… -sigh-
Anywayz, some fun things to know?
- Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) played in the late 90′s on TV as Young David Copperfield… 
- The true prof. Dumbledore (the one from the first two movies) passed away on 25th of octobre 2002 (hodgkin’s disease)… RiP… The new one isn’t doing such a great job imo… And it appears to me their still looking for a new one in the next movie… My suggestion? All in favor say HOO!!!

i totally agree, what i suspected of being the best Harry Potter so far, came down to a great disappointment, ok if you just seen the other movies and you did not read a book u wil think, hey nice movie lots of things happening. But for all the real Harry Potter fans, and i recon there are a lot of u out there, inc me. U were thinking, how slow down, where did that piece go, shouldn’t this go like that, why did he do that. As part of the actors i was impressed by Harry, Ron and Hermionie, and like BarTheZ said, what happend to dumbledor always a fine character in the movies but know cold and emotionless, we all know he can act see LOTR and previous HP, but what happened here. I blame it all on Mike Newell (lets all wish he FOAD’s), hope they change directors again and find a better one.
and if you can’t make a movie from a book of 636 page, don’t do it.
next book is btw even bigger (766), lets see them shrink that one.

Hmmm, think ur mistaking there… in case of Dumbledor hey? The one playing now is Michael Gambon… Not Ian McKellen
I just wanted him to… anywayz..And they’ve already got a different director for the next one… gotta wait till 2007 for that one… *meh*
