Anish Misra Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a film directed by Mike Newell. With every instalment of the series, my anticipation for the film also increased. And I can say even with the fourth instalment, the excitement is never reduced.Plot: Harry Potter is selected by the Goblet of fire to compete in the Triwizard Tournament making him the youngest ever to compete much to the chagrin of everyone.Story and direction: This is the first film in the series not to have the first scene at Privett Drive. I thought it was the right move considering the film has many things going on. During the first fifteen minutes or so, the film feels quite fast paced. I didn't get the understanding as to what his happening. If the makers would have given a little importance to the beginning, I guess the film would have worked wonders. But after those initial minutes, I was totally engrossed in the movie. There were some new characters to look out for and I can say all of them impressed. Also some of the VFX work in this film is incredible especially the broom scenes which have greatly improved. With that being said, I would add that the tournament scenes were well directed. There is always a sense of tension in the atmosphere during the scenes as you care for the safety of those characters. The film also brings another aspect of the trio's friendship into light which was very nicely handled. This is the first film also not to feature John Williams as score composer. But I can very well say that Patrick Doyle did a spectacular job as composer. The film do marks the very first appearance of Voldemort and I can say that he is terrifying. With his appearance and the build-up that has beenmade, you can say that this man means business and also that he is ruthless and would harm just anyone who comes his way. Performances: If I had to pin-point I had to say that this was by far Daniel Radcliffe's best as Harry Potter. The emotional side had never been explored until this film as it was great. As for new characters, Ralph Fiennes just nailed it as Voldemort. He just looks as the villain you predicted. Brendan Gleeson brings his charm to the screen and that just lights up the scene itself. Robert Pattinson also justifies his performance. Timothy Spall and David Tenant gave good support. As for rest of the cast, always just do justice to their roles and never have they given me a single reason to complain.Favorite Scene: It would be the Yule Ball scene where the boys after the initial dance just sit at one side and are jealous of Hermione seeing she is having a lot of fun unlike them. This very well depicts the teenagers who are at that age.Verdict; Thanks to Mike Newell and Steve Kloves we have got another griping chapter to the series. Except for the first fifteen minutes, I enjoyed the entire film.I am going with a 9/10.

shubhamsrivastavalu What does a 14 year old do when he enters the game of adults. The fight against Dragons, the direct encounter with Voldemort were scenes enough to give goosebumps. The yes the unfateful demise of Cedric Diggory was a heart touching one. Friends for all times, the beautiful age of loving making; the chemistry of Hermoine, Ron and Victor Krum added to the story. Harry comes ous strong and victorious yet suffers the death of his friend. Most amusing of all parts. Must watch for all.

anh-94946 This was such a great movie. It has absolutely everything I could want in a movie; funny moments, intense moments, really sad moments, great action, and great character moments as well. But the best part about this movie was out first proper introduction to Voldemort. It was riveting. This movie gets a 98%

morganstephens512 This movie is very different from the first three in the series. The entire movie shows that the fun and happy adventure that were in the first three movies is not really what is going to stick around the whole time. The entire movie sets up Voldemort and his introduction was one of the best things in the entire series. He has a great introduction in this movie and all four events shown in this movie were really well done and great to watch and it does have a lot of great eye candy to it for lack of a better term. The actors really start to get good in this movie and this is the first movie that goes outside of Hogwarts and while Hogwarts doesn't really feel like a different character anymore, it is sacrificed for the series feeling like a much larger world of its own from this point forward.
