One comment I’d like to make. If your only takeaway from this video is that I don’t like the film because it isn’t like the book, you weren’t paying attention. All of the films deviate from the books to some extent, and sometimes for the better. Goblet of Fire is the only one where it deviating is a symptom of a larger problem, the film’s lack of respect for itself.

Goblet has issues sure, but let's not let Half-Blood Prince off the hook either.

i actually find the "i love magic" line super endearing
as a muggle-raised kid, largely neglected, it felt in-character and endearing to show he's still enamoured by it, compared to the weasley's who grew up with it and take it for granted

Personally I hate the line at the end where they’re LAUGHING and Ron says ‘do you think we’ll ever have a quiet year at Hogwarts?’
Considering Cedric’s death plagues Harry and is meant to be a heavy blow and the next scene they’re all having a good old laugh 😂

The only reason Goblet of Fire isn’t as appreciated is because everyone was still in a Prisoner of Azkaban hangover, that film is just on another level.

Hot take: David Tennant was an excellent casting choice for Barty Crouch Jr.
The reason why he was so bad in this movie was bad direction and lack of material to work with. They cut Barty's backstory and left him 3 scenes so the director made him act like this to make him scarier.
David Tennant can play this character and he has. His casting was good but not his direction.
A different actor wouldn't have saved the character of Barty Crouch Jr.

I feel like this maybe is a bad adaptation rather than a bad movie. When I saw this before reading the books, I really enjoyed it.

The best actor in Goblet of Fire was Jeff Rawle, who played Amos Diggory. He was there for like 2 scenes, and he killed it in one of them.

But goblet was my favorite...

Cedric's father crying was probably the best acting in the whole movie.

I can’t believe Ron saw those people throwing themselves out of that building and still decided to send a second plane

The reason everyone's hair is so long is because for the previous three films, the actors were told to grow it out by the hair stylists so they could get it cut as needed when they got to the set of the next film. No one told the director for Goblet of Fire this and he just kept it as is for the hell of it.

One change the movie made that I think actually improved on the book was Neville giving Harry the gillyweed. The book still has the setup of Moody giving Neville the book on water plants, but then Harry never talks to him about it, so Dobby has to show up out of nowhere with it at the very last minute and just gives it to Harry with no explanation. Yeah, Barty jr complains at the end that Harry almost ruined his plan by being noble and not asking for help, so it is explained, but I think it's more satisfying for Neville, the guy that's only good with plants who everyone thinks is useless, to provide a key piece for Harry to succeed.
Plus it's always good to give Neville something to contribute.

THE DIRECTOR DIDNT READ THE BOOK?????

My biggest gripe with the movies comes at the end of the deathly hallows. The scene where Voldemort dies is so unbelievably dramatized and completely kills the impact his death had in the book. In the book, Voldemort dies like a normal human. He doesn’t crumble to dust, he doesn’t give some dramatic line, he just falls like a normal human, his body left lifeless on the ground. It was symbolic to show that he wasn’t some unknown entity, he was a person

"I love magic" is not a bad line. And is fair when walking into a tent that's bigger on the inside

The film that gave birth to an entire generation of Dumbledore said calmly memes

Huge fan of the books. This movie admittedly leaves out many important elements from the book. However, arguably the most important sequence from that story, Voldemort’s rebirth, is absolutely nailed in this film. And I stand by that. The mood of this entire franchise shifts when Wormtail kills Cedric, then proceeds to slice open Harry’s wrist and sever his own hand. It’s very disturbing. Voldemort looks horrifying, the way Finnes moves and hisses his lines is exactly the way I pictured him while reading the book. Radcliffe really shines here, selling Harry’s fear but determination to not be a coward and to face Voldemort anyway. It’s great and marks the point in this franchise where it’s not fun and games anymore. People are gonna die and it’s about to get very dark

The most disappointing thing about the music in this and future movies is that Voldemort himself doesn't have a memorable score to accompany him. It's always just creepy and eerie music. Big villains like him in big franchises usually have a memorable theme, something that almost becomes part of the character itself. I especially love when movies make the theme start just before the villain comes into the scene, such as how sometimes the Imperial March plays in Star Wars. It's like they're annouincing their presence, like trumpets before a king, something that demands everyone's attention. I don't think Voldemort needed a bombastic theme, but even a creepy jingle would have been enough.

The blame must ultimately lie with the director Newell, the fact he didn't read the books says it all really.
