yeah this reviewer doesnt seem to know shit about the harry potter series at all, ill stop watching them here, clearly ron and harrys argument was comming to an end by the time he fighted the dragon, and they become friends again 2 seconds after harry gets the golden egg
Hah, can you imagine Richard Harris doing that - or Dumbledore!? Not that Gambon isn't _owning_ it like the thespian he is, but sometimes the adaption of characters, good as the can be, turn on their heads.
you didn't get the Ron-Harry argument at all!!! Ron never was really that mad at Harry, he was jealous that Harry somehow gets to do all these fantastic things that he, and other kids aren't supposed to do. He thought the tournament would just be a lot of dumb fun, and no one would actually get hurt. it was when Harry was fighting a dragon that he actually realized "hey my best friend could die, and he would think I hate him" also Ron was the one that made sure that Harry got to Hagrid to learn about the dragons.
I was about to type the same thing too xD, btw was moody or should i say barty jr lying when he said that he told hagrid to take him see the dragons and neville to give him the plant because as we see in the movie ron is the one to tell harry about the dragons and neville wasn't going to give harry the plant if harry didn't ask him in the first place, and am sure aswell cedric is able to figure out the egg mystery without the help of barty, so was he lying to harry or he did in fact help him ?
Agreed, Ron is clapping in a slightly self-conscious and uncomfortable way. Much more a "fuck my best friend is actually in quite a risky position and I've been acting like a prick to him for weeks, I really hope this goes well" way rather than a "my friend is doing something really cool and I'm behind his success 100%" way.
@@amaranadir3015 it's in the books. In the books, Dobby helps Harry with the gillyweed. Barty/moody i think suggests to hagrid that he should tell harry about it. @theomegajuisce such a good way of explaining it.
If I was pissed at my best friend, I wouldn't mind seeing him die by dragon fire. Just saying. And before you accuse me of being a sociopath, my therapist said that I just have sociopathic tendencies, so I'm not an actual sociopath.
I don't think Ron applauding to Harry in the dragon trial was a mistake. Keep in mind, prior to that, Hermione gives that confusing speech to Harry how Pavati told Seamus who told Dean... blah blah blah... that Hagrid wants to see him. And that's where Harry finds out about the dragons and thus gets prepared for the trial. After the trial, Ron admitted he was wrong about Harry, and then explains that Hermione's speech was actually coming from neither Dean nor Seamus, but Ron himself. He was just ashamed of directly coming back to him after all the things he said when he was angry. So that means Ron has already figured out the truth AND forgiven Harry BEFORE the dragon trial.
Goblet of Fire is my favorite because it's right where we still get the goofy, bright and whimsical Harry Potter world and as they're moving towards the dark and deep story lines for the later movie. It's just the perfect movie to intersect both sides of the franchise
As a little kid it actually scared me to the point of completely forgetting that it existed, becoming a completely repressed memory. Up until about a month ago a watched it for the first time in 15 years, and was like "HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALL JUST A NIGHTMARE".
This movie was great but felt really rushed in comparison to the book. It's a shame that some details had to be ignored as well to keep the movie running time down.
Neel Parmar I loved this movie but felt it was rushed too. They really needed to break it down into 2 movies I think books 4-7 should've been two movies just like with deathly hallows cause of how much longer they were compared to the first three books.
that would be great but i'd be ok with just 4 (no need to say 7 since that was the first split adaptation. we already got it so it doesn't need to be mentioned.) I would have been fine with them just giving all the movies 3 hours and not making this one the shortest in the franchise. what was the time on this movie, an hour and a half? is that even a harry potter movie?! *sarcasm*
One thing ALWAYS bothered me about this movie: the "rock" band at the dance scene. I'm sure there's a spell for it, but the electric guitars and microphones all all that jazz seemed out of place for this school environment that uses magic. I dunno just doesn't sit well with me.
Haha someone didn't read the book. That was a faithfully adapted scene from the book, and they were called the Weird Sisters, which inspired a lot of Harry Potter rock bands at the time. Nothing was out of place. Who said wizards don't have rock stars?
Microphones? I seem to remember them using tiny megaphone thingies. For that matter I don't think the guitars even had wires hanging off--a mistake in other movies but perhaps intentonal in this.
***** Well in that case, more power to them for being faithful. It's the music style and electric-sounding instruments to me didn't fit the setting they made. And the music does sound sort of amplified in that garage band sense. Instruments don't always need wires to get amplified.
The Voldemort rebirth scene was fantastically well done. Very chilling and evil and captured the horror of that scene from the book beautifully. By far my favorite moment in the entire series and that includes the books and the movies
why, in that movie they are very mature and so love relationship. in this it is just comedy. that film is so well shot. the tension is so reviting. it's not my favorite but it is one of the best. I ignore the books, they spoil the fun
SARANSH OBEROI the books started the fun... The 6th movie didn't show half the plotline the pre battle of Hogwarts at the end was cut. The humanoids who grabbed Harry and dumberdore was never really explained. The Felix Felicia was never really explained and fullfiled. To much missing and to much cut out. To many plot holes that only focused on the love aspect and not the horror.
Have u seen the documentary of HP6 movie , directors cut the battle because there would be battle of Hogwarts in HP8. I agree as they did not want to make it repeatative. I like how they did not explain much about inferi as it added to suspense and horror. I remember in theatre when that scene happened, many people said 'holy shit'. I believe that one of the greatest fear is fear of the unknown. Also films are about visual storytelling. Actors directors cinematography, vfx all come together. I have seen that many people and critics ignore the some story flaws if the movie is great, direction and acting is excellent. I saw the film first and then read the novel. I liked how mediums were different. If film was exactly the same who would read novel or why would people watch movie if it is exactly like novel.
+Fera Moo I thought I was the only one. There are a lot of parallels between Naruto and Harry Potter. Like both of their parents died protecting their kid.
When Harry's parents appear in his duel with Voldemort always makes me very emotional. All he's ever wanted was his family and they are there for him in his biggest moment
This movie was okay I believe. It could have been so much better. The story with Brendan Gleeson and David Tennant (which Chris mercifully didn't spoil) was HORRIBLY executed. It could have been so thrilling especially with those two talents involved, but no they had to make a goofy love high school drama out of it.
It was really cool growing up with these movies. I'm about the same age as the characters, so as they were growing up on the screen, I was growing up with them which made them very relatable. Also, as we got more mature the themes in the movies got more mature as well. It was a unique experience that only people our age could really have.
I don't see what's wrong with Ron cheering for Harry in the dragon scene? Just because their fighting doesn't mean Ron wants to see him die. Especially since he just saw the other three contestants face their dragons. He knows Harry would be nuts to willfully sign up for the tournament at that point. Sometimes I wonder if Chris has even ever opened up the books he has on his shelf...
I know I'm going to sound like a broken record here - but the books really are just heads and shoulders above the films. The films are great - I won all of them on blu ray and I watch them back to back maybe once a year, but the books are something special. I will say The Goblet of Fire film was one of the best in the series - easily. I think for me, it all fell apart at the 6th film. They absolutely BUTCHERED that story. It should have been the best film in the series, but they just cut so much and changed so much that wasn't necessary. I'll be interested to see the review for that film.
Joseph Alexander I agree that the tone of films changed completely after Half Blood Prince. They weren't terrible but they certainly felt more rushed. As if the film makers couldn't wait to get it all over with. I kind of blame Chris Columbus for that.
MsAbixxx Why would you blame Chris Columbus? He didn't have anything to do with the films after the second one. Blame David Yates. He absolutely f***ed the Half Blood Prince. He made it all about teenage angst and cut the final battle scene! The final two movies were okay, but not great.
I agree, Half Blood Prince is my favorite book in the series, and I have no clue why the director decided to focus on that dumb mclaggen / lavender stuff and not focus on THE ACTUAL MEMORIES like it just kills me. I wanted to see the gaunts storyline so badly...
The movies are great on their own merits but when I read the books I just feel depressed about how much cool stuff they cut out. The first 3 are the best when it came to adapting the books imo.
Matthew Bennett No... I've watch enough of his Harry Potter reviews, this guy is clearly not a huge fan of the books. The movies, starting with pretty much this one, either left out or changed so many great plot details that the fans would've loved to see in the movie. OOTP is prolly the worst offender; literally just the main plot details of the book with everything else omitted. The Dealthy Hallows movies were better at least since it was a 2-parter.
Patrick Doyle did a great job, but I kinda wish that they delayed the release of this movie so that John Williams had enough time to come back and score it. We deserve an iconic theme for Voldemort's return.
I guess we could see Ron's attitude in the first task as "holy smokes I just saw 3 people, barely older than me, nearly get burned... AND HARRY'S NEXT NO GOSHMCGUFFINS GO HARRY DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU BRO", because hey, legend tells Cedric actually got his face burned half an hour before Harry entered the pit... But yeah, we do have to stretch for the headcanon on this one
For me these children are the true definition of friends. And it directly proves that the people who say that a boy and a girl can't be just friends are wrong. They can and it creates an incredible type of energy! I love all of them so much!!!
"We'll talk more about some evil, vile characters in my review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix" who else knows exactly who he's talking about lol?
It is SO nice to hear somebody talk good about these movies. Like, seeing them strictly as films and why they worked so well rather than constantly bashing them because of certain differences from the books. Sadly, that's what I see happen a lot now a days with these films.
This is easily my favorite Harry Potter movie, it had the sudden change in emotion between friends as part of growing up, it had a competition aspect to it that made it fun to watch and the showdown between Voldemort and Harry Potter for the first time! It's just great! 👏
Ron wasn't angry at Harry at the first task, remember. He was the one who started the line for Harry to find out that it *was* dragons. He stopped being mad when he saw that the challenge was dragons (remember it's his brother Charlie who brings the dragons) but it was his pride that wouldn't let him come right out and apologize. So of course he would be cheering.
This used to be my favorite growing up, together with the second part of Deathly Hallows. It's not anymore but it's still great, honestly, despite some cringy scenes that could've been cut and all the missing details in the Crouches' backstory. It was made for runtime, I know, but something had to be put there. It would've made Barty and son's story that much more interesting for people who haven't read the books. Anyway, I still love it. The scene of Voldemort's return is _perfect._
I personally think this is the worst HP movie...I remember being so excited to go watch it...and being so angry/disappointed when I left the theater. They left out all the best parts of the book and changed too many storylines..C+
I get what you're saying, but even though Ron is mad at Harry, he wouldnt just want his friend to die, and right in the next scene, he makes peace with him after seeing his trouble with the dragon. Always made sense to me
I really appreciate that even though you've obviously read the books, you are Just reviewing them as movies. Which is refreshing, because so many book fans (of which I am one, I have read them all multiple times) just can't understand that even though they don't include everything in the books, these are genuinely good MOVIES. Anyways, keep up the good worked, I subbed.
I agree I have not read the books but its nice to see someone judge the films on there own merits. They are just great pieces of cinema. I do not care read the books because I do not want to ruin the movies.
Thank you! Fans don't seem to realize that films don't have to go exactly like the books. The books are great and yes they have more information and story lines but those story lines wouldn't fit into the movies. This movie wouldn't work with SPEW and the movie shows perfectly that the main story doesn't need that plot line to work. And I'm so glad that they didn't include Peeves in the movies because his childish humor wouldn't fit into the films at all! It barely fits into the books! I love the books and I love the movies (except the fifth one, which was written by a different person)!
Actually, I always liked to see Ron cheer for Harry. That scene shows that despite the fact that he is pissed, he still loves his best friend like a brother and deep down wants him to succeed
Chris the reason Ron is cheering in the dragon scene is because despite their dispute he is still deeply concerned for his friend, like his only friend. C'mon Chris you're better than that.
You didn't pay attention more deeply into this movie, Chris. Look again at how Ron cheered Harry in the tournament against dragon. We can see from his expression that there was a bit of awkward feeling, because at that moment he knew that he previously were being harsh towards Harry but then he realized that he might be wrong about it. When he cheered Harry, he didn't show that much excitement in his expression, but awkwardness and guilt. It is later proven after that tournament, in which Ron came to Harry and confessed that he had seen Harry the wrong way. I think that scene in which Ron cheered Harry awkwardly is one of the cleverest scenes of this movie. It shows that the director knew exactly what he was doing, opposite from what you see it, Chris.
Goblet of Fire was always my favorite out of all the films. I think it's because that's really where everything starts to kick off and we get to see other schools and even more fantastical things.
but they fucked up the schools they made beauxbatons an all girls school which it is not and they made it seem like durmstrang was in bulgaria but it is not
Yea, just from a writing standpoint, they introduce Cedric in the same movie they kill him off in. Talk about a throw-away character. His death would've been more heartfelt had he had more of a presence in the previous films. The later films character deaths are much more heartfelt as you've already grown to love the characters that die off.
This movie IS Better than Prisoner of Azkaban imo! Finally you get to this movie Chris. This film had Much better Acting from the main cast, A lot more great talents like David Tenant, Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson,. Now THIS is the Harry Potter movie that resonated with SOO many people outside of the fanbase! It was the first movie to Top a Star Wars film that time (Revenge of the Sith) and that's when HP became very mainstream with the general audience. I remember some of my friends who thought Potter was always lame, didn't say that anymore when Goblet of Fire came out. They loved it! I still have hard time deciding whether I prefer this movie more than Order of the Phoenix or vice versa. This film was just amazing from beginning to end, and was quite well adapted. It was surely the easiest of the books to be adapted into film besides the later books, since more had to get cut from it. And Lord Voldemort's introduction in the film is still super intense and dark up to this day!
Goblet Of Fire, and both of The Deathly Hallows were my favourites. I just loved the triwizard tournament and that whole graveyard sequence where harry battles Voldemort. And just how everything ends in the final 2 films where all the pieces come together and the big battle, it felt like the ultimate climax of all 8 films.
Uh, the whole point was after seeing Harry nearly die by dragon Ron realizes that Harry probably didn't want to be involved in a tournament like this and he finally understands that he didn't put his name in the goblet. That being said as a huge fan of the books I HATE this movie so much, it just guts the entire book and it feels like someone is sitting on the fast forward button the whole time. Personally I think they should have split it in to two movies, the book was too big to be done in one movie. The third task was incredibly weak in the movie, the book the maze is full of bogarts, a Sphinx, giant spiders, massive blast ended screwts, and other cool enchantments. The movie gave us killer hedges... snore. Also by showing Barty Crouch Jr at the begining and at the quidditch world cup it makes the world cup stuff completely pointless. Hell I'm pretty sure the movie skips out on explaining how Voldemort was able to plan all of this and how Crouch Jr. helped pull it all off. I can't imagine someone who hasn't read to book being able to follow this shitty movie very well. Finally this movie took out Hermione's house elf rights plot which took away a huge part of her character and a really important subplot of the series.
The spectating of the maze reminds me of spectating a cross country meet. The runners just disappear into the woods for awhile and then pop out at the end.
Harry standing up to Voldemort and not going out without a fight is probably my favorite scene for the character. At 14 years old he walked out to face certain death but he did it with bravery and grace. Such an awesome moment
I never really liked the sudden changes the film series had in tone and character development from this film onwards, kind of felt like they were making it more for the American audience.
Definitely. The movies get dumber and more cheap comedy is added as they go along. The films aren't serious at all until TDH part one and two whereas the tone is serious in the books throughout. The humor in the books is not frequent, but when is shows up it is intelligent. The movies try to incorporate at least one visual gag every three minutes and there is nothing intelligent to them at all. The book series and films series are almost in contrast of each other.
My dad read Harry Potter and the Scorcerers Stone to me, then I got The chamber of Secrets as an audiobook. I read 3 and 4 myself and got back into Audio books, then read the final Book myself. and I have to say: there is this German guy who reads the Harry Potter books, he is called Rufus Beck. they are like 30+ hours long and I remember switching CDs forever, but damn. This guy is a god. I'm 21 now and I'm currently thinking about buying the entire series as a MP3 Collection and just re-listen to them all over again.
TRIVIA THAT YOU NEVER KNEW! Patrick Doyle used a music-cue lifted from JAWS. (In the lead up to the maze-scene, there is a half-hearted march - it is the exact same piece of music John Williams used in Jaws when Mayor Vaughn opens the beach for 4th of July.). "Amity - as you know - means friendship!"
Fun fact: Mike Newell, the director of Garblarafar also directed Donnie Brasco, a movie with perhaps the best Johnny Depp performance and one of the last great Al Pacino performances
Agreed, but the goblet of fire didn't live up to the book in my mind. Order of the Phoenix didn't have that great of a book behind it, so I wasn't expecting it to be that good.
I always thought that while Ron and Harry were fighting, Ron didn't actually want Harry to die a horrible burnt death. Like this guy told a guy, who he thought was a mass-murderer, that he has to kill him as well if he wanted to kill Harry. I don't think he's going to be cheering at Harry getting hurt or worse
I guess only you can get me and find similarities between Harry Potter and Star Wars - Dumbledore = Obi Wan - Harry = Luke - snape = Vader - voldemort = emperor - Owls = Bots - wands = lightsabers - death eaters = stormtroopers - Ron = Han (not quite) - Hermione = Leia
The life and death situation which harry was in when facing the dragon outweighed the animosity which Ron held against Harry. It didn't need to be explained. They were always still friends. They were just pissed off at each other. Ron's realisation of how perilous the situation was for Harry and that it was something which he wouldn't actually want be a part of (as he first thought) became apparent.
There are few times I have disagreed with Chris, and sadly this is one of them! I get that the director was trying to pull the characters in puberty aspect and chose comedy as a medium. But, the movie was boring. Even the action sequences couldn't save it. And when you put this with the other potter movies, goblet of fire is actually a let down. It could have a perfect stage from the Prisoner of Azkaban, but sadly it squandered completely. That's my thoughts though.
Great review as always Chris, but dude. when you said that about Harry's parents being next to him, I was thinking of the Gohan and Goku DBZ moment. I gasped when you said that a second later. You're not alone haha
'Goblet of Fire' is my favourite HP book and film - despite their differences. They totally nailed the Yule Ball, the dragon chase scene during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament is thrilling to watch, the second task in the Black Lake is gorgeous, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort is reeeally creepy and Cedric's death remains the saddest HP film death scene ever.
Respect. But I thought DH: Part 1 was awesome because it followed the first part of the book to the T! It was great to see everything come to life... and theeeeeen... DH 2 ruined everything lol
Chris, I just wanted to point out or reconcile what's going on with Ron when he is cheering for Harry at the first challenge of the Tri-Wizard's Tournament, and I think there are a couple of explanations for his behavior there. 1. By the time Harry goes out to face the Hungarian Horntail, Ron has seen 3 different older and presumably more capable wizards almost get burned to death facing their dragons. Even Victor Krumm, one of the best flyers in the world struggled against his Chinese Fire Ball. After seeing these 3 horrific attempts, perhaps Ron has come to accept Harry's explanation that he wouldn't have signed up for this voluntarily. Ron says as much later in the post-challenge BFF make up scene. This may explain why he is cheering for Harry when Harry emerges from the tent despite their recent spat. 2. It is also possible that Ron sees the Hungarian Horntail (having heard about them from his older brother, the dragon tamer) and is just worried about Harry, his best friend of 3 years. Even if Ron did not have the realization mentioned in the above explanation, it is possible that in that moment of fear, his feelings of friendship overwhelmed the anger from their argument. Anyway, as a huge Harry Potter fan (both the books and the movies), I just wanted to maybe explain what Rupert Grint was doing there and what the director may have had in mind. Love your channel, and can't wait for Order of the Phoenix!
This film has a special place in my heart because my cousin was the supervising sound editor on the film. I happened to be going to London (from the US) that same summer. So I got a free place to stay in London, which saved me a TON of money and I got to hear all about what was happening with the movie.
This one's still the worst. Overacted, too foggy looking, breakneck pacing, downgraded musical score, even more melodramatic than the third, plot points utterly cut [such as yes, The Dursleys, but also the character motivation behind Fake! Moody] to the point that things barely make sense. I can appreciate No. 3 for some cinematic flare, and the fact that the source material was kinda meh. But this was the turning point in the book series where things were to get really dark and the Newell/Cloves team utterly fudged it. Not sure what Chris means by "playing it with such maturity" or "it could've been a soap opera" when that's exactly what happened. Thank heavens Yates came in at 5 and saved it from the Post-Columbus funk. For the Series: F By itself: D Go watch Order of the Phoenix for hilarious teenage hijinx, it's all done far better there.
Lol, yeah I agree... I'm assuming that you also saw the Dom's video on this adaptation like I did? Personally, Chris' awful opinion on this film doesn't bother me, but it does upset me to see he gave this crappy film a higher grade than Chamber of secrets (which is my favorite HP film) but Chris clearly read the book, so I can't really blame him for not sitting there scratching his head like I'm sure that most people that didn't read the book did... 😑
I always figured Ron was cheering for Harry cause even though he was upset, he didn't want Harry to, you know... die horribly to a vicious dragon?
Bruno Bessa True, invalid argument from Chris. Also, Ron made sure Harry knew beforehand that the first challenge involved Dragons.
yeah this reviewer doesnt seem to know shit about the harry potter series at all, ill stop watching them here, clearly ron and harrys argument was comming to an end by the time he fighted the dragon, and they become friends again 2 seconds after harry gets the golden egg
MrBillyidolfan lol
MrBillyidolfan gr8 b8 m8
My thoughts as well
That scene where Harry drags Cedric's body out of the maze and Cedric's dad sees his dead son was one of the best acted scenes of the franchise.
Yeah same
Hell yeah
I literally cried
HARRY DID YE PUT YE NAYM IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAAH!!
Never forget.
said Dumbledore calmly
*sounds of stuff falling and klanging in the background*
Hah, can you imagine Richard Harris doing that - or Dumbledore!? Not that Gambon isn't _owning_ it like the thespian he is, but sometimes the adaption of characters, good as the can be, turn on their heads.
Richard Harris was an embodiment of Dumbledore. :< Gambon's version has no chill.
you didn't get the Ron-Harry argument at all!!! Ron never was really that mad at Harry, he was jealous that Harry somehow gets to do all these fantastic things that he, and other kids aren't supposed to do. He thought the tournament would just be a lot of dumb fun, and no one would actually get hurt. it was when Harry was fighting a dragon that he actually realized "hey my best friend could die, and he would think I hate him" also Ron was the one that made sure that Harry got to Hagrid to learn about the dragons.
It’s better told in the book.
thank you good sir saved me from typing the same
I was about to type the same thing too xD, btw was moody or should i say barty jr lying when he said that he told hagrid to take him see the dragons and neville to give him the plant because as we see in the movie ron is the one to tell harry about the dragons and neville wasn't going to give harry the plant if harry didn't ask him in the first place, and am sure aswell cedric is able to figure out the egg mystery without the help of barty, so was he lying to harry or he did in fact help him ?
Agreed, Ron is clapping in a slightly self-conscious and uncomfortable way. Much more a "fuck my best friend is actually in quite a risky position and I've been acting like a prick to him for weeks, I really hope this goes well" way rather than a "my friend is doing something really cool and I'm behind his success 100%" way.
@@amaranadir3015 it's in the books. In the books, Dobby helps Harry with the gillyweed. Barty/moody i think suggests to hagrid that he should tell harry about it.
@theomegajuisce such a good way of explaining it.
lol just because Ron is being pissy towards Harry, it dosen't mean he wants to see him die by dragonfire wtf
If I was pissed at my best friend, I wouldn't mind seeing him die by dragon fire. Just saying. And before you accuse me of being a sociopath, my therapist said that I just have sociopathic tendencies, so I'm not an actual sociopath.
I feel like we all have our sociopathic tendencies lol
Maybe Hermione and Harry's other friends persuaded Ron cheer
ahahagga i was thinkin the same lol
Top 10s 'N' Tributes edgy
I think it's fine for Ron to be happy that Harry beat the dragon. He's mad at him, sure, but he's not gunna root for his best friend to die
He doesn’t want to see him die but he was cheering like his best friend or a family member.
Who honestly thinks they'd survive in the Tri-Wizard tournament? I sure as hell wouldn't
I'd be too afraid to get in the water those mermaids look scary also I don't like water
Neither would i. I would go crazy in that maze.
Gimmie a gun and a scuba tank, Ill get it done.
Strong Bad human guns don't work on wizards
Pelcogo Why not? I'm assuming the muggle's technical prowess over wizards is whats making them keep their existence a secret.
I don't think Ron applauding to Harry in the dragon trial was a mistake.
Keep in mind, prior to that, Hermione gives that confusing speech to Harry how Pavati told Seamus who told Dean... blah blah blah... that Hagrid wants to see him. And that's where Harry finds out about the dragons and thus gets prepared for the trial.
After the trial, Ron admitted he was wrong about Harry, and then explains that Hermione's speech was actually coming from neither Dean nor Seamus, but Ron himself. He was just ashamed of directly coming back to him after all the things he said when he was angry.
So that means Ron has already figured out the truth AND forgiven Harry BEFORE the dragon trial.

if they ever make Spider-verse, he should play UK Spider-Man.

Rad.
i absolutely love the graveyard scene. It's fantastic and one of the best scenes in the franchise
Yes I agree my favorite book not my favorite movie though
All shot on a sound stage near London and dark
wait a second prisoner of azakaban was a kids movie?!
well no one died in that movie though those dementors were pretty scary but this movie had more of an edge
+Pelcogo (Damian Frost) don't forget the werewolves.
Aldo El Apache yes he werewolf was scary too but I found the dementors more frightening
Edgy PG
No one died but they dealt with some really dark themes. By far the most mature and darkest film and book of the franchise
Goblet of Fire is my favorite because it's right where we still get the goofy, bright and whimsical Harry Potter world and as they're moving towards the dark and deep story lines for the later movie. It's just the perfect movie to intersect both sides of the franchise
It also finally introduces Voldemort. It was like Darth Vader revealing he's Luke's father
I often forget how consistent these movies are. I failed to appreciate them when I was younger.
Stolen.
Not me, when I was young I think I watched each of the Harry Potter movies that were out at least 30 times
Wouldn't it also be kinda fucked up if Ron wanted Harry to lose to the dragon though? xD
:_: lol
Yeah, I just thought Ron realized how dangerous it would be, that he was worried for Harry even though he was mad at him.
StarLover479 Exactly.
loool your profile picture goes great with your comment
This was my favorite Harry Potter movie growing up. The warm colors and excellent action scenes made it very exciting for my younger self.

As a little kid it actually scared me to the point of completely forgetting that it existed, becoming a completely repressed memory. Up until about a month ago a watched it for the first time in 15 years, and was like "HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALL JUST A NIGHTMARE".
This movie was great but felt really rushed in comparison to the book. It's a shame that some details had to be ignored as well to keep the movie running time down.
Neel Parmar I loved this movie but felt it was rushed too. They really needed to break it down into 2 movies I think books 4-7 should've been two movies just like with deathly hallows cause of how much longer they were compared to the first three books.
Dobby wasn't a detail!
gwen wood yeah, they completely ignored all the house-elf stuff. In fairness, it wasn't the most interesting part of the book though.
that would be great but i'd be ok with just 4 (no need to say 7 since that was the first split adaptation. we already got it so it doesn't need to be mentioned.) I would have been fine with them just giving all the movies 3 hours and not making this one the shortest in the franchise. what was the time on this movie, an hour and a half? is that even a harry potter movie?! *sarcasm*
MadCap Productions .
One thing ALWAYS bothered me about this movie:
the "rock" band at the dance scene. I'm sure there's a spell for it, but the electric guitars and microphones all all that jazz seemed out of place for this school environment that uses magic. I dunno just doesn't sit well with me.
That part was very weak. The Yule Ball should have been cooler and more magical.
Instead it's this dollar store, lame-ass garage band who look like a discount The Cult.
Haha someone didn't read the book. That was a faithfully adapted scene
from the book, and they were called the Weird Sisters, which inspired a
lot of Harry Potter rock bands at the time. Nothing was out of place.
Who said wizards don't have rock stars?
Microphones? I seem to remember them using tiny megaphone thingies. For that matter I don't think the guitars even had wires hanging off--a mistake in other movies but perhaps intentonal in this.
***** Well in that case, more power to them for being faithful. It's the music style and electric-sounding instruments to me didn't fit the setting they made. And the music does sound sort of amplified in that garage band sense. Instruments don't always need wires to get amplified.
The Voldemort rebirth scene was fantastically well done. Very chilling and evil and captured the horror of that scene from the book beautifully. By far my favorite moment in the entire series and that includes the books and the movies
Harry Potter is great and all, but everyone is waiting for an Amazing Bulk Review!
Cool Cat zooboo
"Well that isn't Barney the Purple Dinosaur". That film is the best good bad movie since Birdemic.

Love how you judge the movies on their own, and not compare them to the books. That's how it should be IMHO.
Hmmm when you cut out plot points that would have been more interesting/made the movie that much darker I'm not sure I'd agree.
@@david-jonballinger6638 well thats just your opinion..........man
@@sameerhafeez7029 congratulations, you understand what difference of opinion is.
i wish they kept the romance for humor because it turned into mushy gushy crap in the half blood prince
yeah half blood was my favorite book. but I hated that movie wo much
why, in that movie they are very mature and so love relationship. in this it is just comedy. that film is so well shot. the tension is so reviting. it's not my favorite but it is one of the best. I ignore the books, they spoil the fun
SARANSH OBEROI the books started the fun...
The 6th movie didn't show half the plotline the pre battle of Hogwarts at the end was cut. The humanoids who grabbed Harry and dumberdore was never really explained. The Felix Felicia was never really explained and fullfiled. To much missing and to much cut out. To many plot holes that only focused on the love aspect and not the horror.
Have u seen the documentary of HP6 movie , directors cut the battle because there would be battle of Hogwarts in HP8. I agree as they did not want to make it repeatative. I like how they did not explain much about inferi as it added to suspense and horror. I remember in theatre when that scene happened, many people said 'holy shit'. I believe that one of the greatest fear is fear of the unknown.
Also films are about visual storytelling. Actors directors cinematography, vfx all come together. I have seen that many people and critics ignore the some story flaws if the movie is great, direction and acting is excellent.
I saw the film first and then read the novel. I liked how mediums were different. If film was exactly the same who would read novel or why would people watch movie if it is exactly like novel.
Half Blood Prince is absolutely amazing and incredible dude
Let's show Chris how many of us made the same connection between HP and DBZ!
No.

Words caaaan't bring meeee dooooown oooohuuuhohohooooo
It shares more with Naruto than DBZ tbh
+Fera Moo I thought I was the only one. There are a lot of parallels between Naruto and Harry Potter. Like both of their parents died protecting their kid.
I like how Ron and Harry's hair look like there from 1974 for some reason. lol This is definitely my second favorite after Prisoner of Askaban!
Same
Mopheads were a popular haircut when this movie came out
"Ohhhhhhhh you stay away from my Harry Potter. He's a good man. You stay away from that boy."
This was the movie where everyone needed a haircut lol
When Harry's parents appear in his duel with Voldemort always makes me very emotional. All he's ever wanted was his family and they are there for him in his biggest moment
This movie was okay I believe. It could have been so much better. The story with Brendan Gleeson and David Tennant (which Chris mercifully didn't spoil) was HORRIBLY executed. It could have been so thrilling especially with those two talents involved, but no they had to make a goofy love high school drama out of it.
It was really cool growing up with these movies. I'm about the same age as the characters, so as they were growing up on the screen, I was growing up with them which made them very relatable. Also, as we got more mature the themes in the movies got more mature as well. It was a unique experience that only people our age could really have.
I don't see what's wrong with Ron cheering for Harry in the dragon scene? Just because their fighting doesn't mean Ron wants to see him die. Especially since he just saw the other three contestants face their dragons. He knows Harry would be nuts to willfully sign up for the tournament at that point. Sometimes I wonder if Chris has even ever opened up the books he has on his shelf...
Chris you should do a re-review of the LOTR trilogy.
RiceDuke I would like to see that
He already reviewed it, if I am not mistaken...
I said "re-review"..........he's done those before.
Harry Potter is better.
I doubt his opinion has changed, he normally does those for films he thought were shit on first viewing then grew to appreciate them or vice versa.
I know I'm going to sound like a broken record here - but the books really are just heads and shoulders above the films. The films are great - I won all of them on blu ray and I watch them back to back maybe once a year, but the books are something special. I will say The Goblet of Fire film was one of the best in the series - easily. I think for me, it all fell apart at the 6th film. They absolutely BUTCHERED that story. It should have been the best film in the series, but they just cut so much and changed so much that wasn't necessary. I'll be interested to see the review for that film.
EXACTLY!!! It all started to fall apart at the 6th film! I'll never understand why most people seem to be fine with the way it turned out.
Joseph Alexander
I agree that the tone of films changed completely after Half Blood Prince. They weren't terrible but they certainly felt more rushed. As if the film makers couldn't wait to get it all over with. I kind of blame Chris Columbus for that.
MsAbixxx Why would you blame Chris Columbus? He didn't have anything to do with the films after the second one. Blame David Yates. He absolutely f***ed the Half Blood Prince. He made it all about teenage angst and cut the final battle scene! The final two movies were okay, but not great.
I agree, Half Blood Prince is my favorite book in the series, and I have no clue why the director decided to focus on that dumb mclaggen / lavender stuff and not focus on THE ACTUAL MEMORIES like it just kills me. I wanted to see the gaunts storyline so badly...
The movies are great on their own merits but when I read the books I just feel depressed about how much cool stuff they cut out. The first 3 are the best when it came to adapting the books imo.
I kinda wish you talked more about the plot flaws than just praise it for 10 minutes.
Well maybe he did not feel there was any you know people do have different opinions than yours.
Matthew Bennett No... I've watch enough of his Harry Potter reviews, this guy is clearly not a huge fan of the books. The movies, starting with pretty much this one, either left out or changed so many great plot details that the fans would've loved to see in the movie. OOTP is prolly the worst offender; literally just the main plot details of the book with everything else omitted. The Dealthy Hallows movies were better at least since it was a 2-parter.
21 VIEWS OMFGGG I HAVENT BEEEN DIS EARRLLYY SE-
Shut up. Shut the fuck up..
First to reply
Honestly these types of comments are more prevalent and annoying these days than the ACTUAL "first" comments.
Kyle Roy I completely agree, I just can't get into the mindset of people who think that these comments are constructive at all
Language son, UA-cam Heroes are watching...
What is your problem?
Patrick Doyle did a great job, but I kinda wish that they delayed the release of this movie so that John Williams had enough time to come back and score it. We deserve an iconic theme for Voldemort's return.
I guess we could see Ron's attitude in the first task as "holy smokes I just saw 3 people, barely older than me, nearly get burned... AND HARRY'S NEXT NO GOSHMCGUFFINS GO HARRY DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU BRO", because hey, legend tells Cedric actually got his face burned half an hour before Harry entered the pit...
But yeah, we do have to stretch for the headcanon on this one
For me these children are the true definition of friends. And it directly proves that the people who say that a boy and a girl can't be just friends are wrong. They can and it creates an incredible type of energy! I love all of them so much!!!
2:00 ::Cedric jumps down to meet Mr. Weasley:: "'Sup, I'm Cedric. I love quidditch and climbing trees."
This is my favorite of the books
"We'll talk more about some evil, vile characters in my review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix" who else knows exactly who he's talking about lol?
"Let's hope Jack Nicholson isn't in there somewhere" lmao
8:32 When Harry Potter tells you to get back to the Portkey, you get yo ass to the Portkey. Now you dead
It is SO nice to hear somebody talk good about these movies. Like, seeing them strictly as films and why they worked so well rather than constantly bashing them because of certain differences from the books. Sadly, that's what I see happen a lot now a days with these films.
This movie is my least favorite in the series. Don't exactly know why, but I just can't bring myself to like it.
This is easily my favorite Harry Potter movie, it had the sudden change in emotion between friends as part of growing up, it had a competition aspect to it that made it fun to watch and the showdown between Voldemort and Harry Potter for the first time! It's just great! 👏
Fleur Delacour was my Crush...and i was 8 years old.
I love these longer, more intimate and detailed reviews. Been watching since the beginning and have loved every minute of every video keep it up man!
Ron wasn't angry at Harry at the first task, remember. He was the one who started the line for Harry to find out that it *was* dragons. He stopped being mad when he saw that the challenge was dragons (remember it's his brother Charlie who brings the dragons) but it was his pride that wouldn't let him come right out and apologize. So of course he would be cheering.
This used to be my favorite growing up, together with the second part of Deathly Hallows. It's not anymore but it's still great, honestly, despite some cringy scenes that could've been cut and all the missing details in the Crouches' backstory. It was made for runtime, I know, but something had to be put there. It would've made Barty and son's story that much more interesting for people who haven't read the books.
Anyway, I still love it. The scene of Voldemort's return is _perfect._
I personally think this is the worst HP movie...I remember being so excited to go watch it...and being so angry/disappointed when I left the theater. They left out all the best parts of the book and changed too many storylines..C+
This is my favorite of all the HP movies.
Him shooting out of the water reminded me of Swiss Army Man lmfao
I get what you're saying, but even though Ron is mad at Harry, he wouldnt just want his friend to die, and right in the next scene, he makes peace with him after seeing his trouble with the dragon. Always made sense to me
Same !
I really appreciate that even though you've obviously read the books, you are Just reviewing them as movies. Which is refreshing, because so many book fans (of which I am one, I have read them all multiple times) just can't understand that even though they don't include everything in the books, these are genuinely good MOVIES. Anyways, keep up the good worked, I subbed.
I agree I have not read the books but its nice to see someone judge the films on there own merits. They are just great pieces of cinema. I do not care read the books because I do not want to ruin the movies.
Thank you! Fans don't seem to realize that films don't have to go exactly like the books. The books are great and yes they have more information and story lines but those story lines wouldn't fit into the movies. This movie wouldn't work with SPEW and the movie shows perfectly that the main story doesn't need that plot line to work. And I'm so glad that they didn't include Peeves in the movies because his childish humor wouldn't fit into the films at all! It barely fits into the books! I love the books and I love the movies (except the fifth one, which was written by a different person)!
Actually, I always liked to see Ron cheer for Harry. That scene shows that despite the fact that he is pissed, he still loves his best friend like a brother and deep down wants him to succeed
Chris the reason Ron is cheering in the dragon scene is because despite their dispute he is still deeply concerned for his friend, like his only friend. C'mon Chris you're better than that.
You didn't pay attention more deeply into this movie, Chris. Look again at how Ron cheered Harry in the tournament against dragon. We can see from his expression that there was a bit of awkward feeling, because at that moment he knew that he previously were being harsh towards Harry but then he realized that he might be wrong about it. When he cheered Harry, he didn't show that much excitement in his expression, but awkwardness and guilt. It is later proven after that tournament, in which Ron came to Harry and confessed that he had seen Harry the wrong way. I think that scene in which Ron cheered Harry awkwardly is one of the cleverest scenes of this movie. It shows that the director knew exactly what he was doing, opposite from what you see it, Chris.
He has his opinion and you have yours. I know how dare someone have a different opinion from you.
Goblet of Fire was always my favorite out of all the films. I think it's because that's really where everything starts to kick off and we get to see other schools and even more fantastical things.
but they fucked up the schools they made beauxbatons an all girls school which it is not and they made it seem like durmstrang was in bulgaria but it is not
I mean yeah..I know the movie had a lot of faults but I still liked it.
I love it when Chris does these review marathons. Makes it feel like we are on an adventure.
This is the best Harry Potter movie no question about it
NoTodoEsArte I would question that..
me too... Definitely.
Yea, just from a writing standpoint, they introduce Cedric in the same movie they kill him off in. Talk about a throw-away character. His death would've been more heartfelt had he had more of a presence in the previous films. The later films character deaths are much more heartfelt as you've already grown to love the characters that die off.
SwampFox Best IMO is either Half-Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows Part 2
@Nokturnal: Read the book. That's how it happened.
This was the most relatable Harry Potter for me. It felt like they were real kids, even the dialogue felt more natural than in the other movies.
you forgot one thing Stuckmann... Tennant!
I really hope that movie comes out soon
Cloudy Storm as do I...
This movie IS Better than Prisoner of Azkaban imo! Finally you get to this movie Chris. This film had Much better Acting from the main cast, A lot more great talents like David Tenant, Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson,. Now THIS is the Harry Potter movie that resonated with SOO many people outside of the fanbase! It was the first movie to Top a Star Wars film that time (Revenge of the Sith) and that's when HP became very mainstream with the general audience. I remember some of my friends who thought Potter was always lame, didn't say that anymore when Goblet of Fire came out. They loved it! I still have hard time deciding whether I prefer this movie more than Order of the Phoenix or vice versa. This film was just amazing from beginning to end, and was quite well adapted. It was surely the easiest of the books to be adapted into film besides the later books, since more had to get cut from it. And Lord Voldemort's introduction in the film is still super intense and dark up to this day!
Harry potter and the gobert fire is favorite Harry potter movie
Goblet Of Fire, and both of The Deathly Hallows were my favourites. I just loved the triwizard tournament and that whole graveyard sequence where harry battles Voldemort. And just how everything ends in the final 2 films where all the pieces come together and the big battle, it felt like the ultimate climax of all 8 films.
This my favourite in the series.
I like this and Deathly Hallows Part 2
Mine is Prisoner but this one is great too
It's the first time we saw conflict between our main characters too, which I loved in the book.
I really miss the whole Dobby plot in Hogwarts kitchen. That was a fun part in the book!
Uh, the whole point was after seeing Harry nearly die by dragon Ron realizes that Harry probably didn't want to be involved in a tournament like this and he finally understands that he didn't put his name in the goblet. That being said as a huge fan of the books I HATE this movie so much, it just guts the entire book and it feels like someone is sitting on the fast forward button the whole time. Personally I think they should have split it in to two movies, the book was too big to be done in one movie. The third task was incredibly weak in the movie, the book the maze is full of bogarts, a Sphinx, giant spiders, massive blast ended screwts, and other cool enchantments. The movie gave us killer hedges... snore. Also by showing Barty Crouch Jr at the begining and at the quidditch world cup it makes the world cup stuff completely pointless. Hell I'm pretty sure the movie skips out on explaining how Voldemort was able to plan all of this and how Crouch Jr. helped pull it all off. I can't imagine someone who hasn't read to book being able to follow this shitty movie very well. Finally this movie took out Hermione's house elf rights plot which took away a huge part of her character and a really important subplot of the series.
This was actually me least favorite of the entire series
The spectating of the maze reminds me of spectating a cross country meet. The runners just disappear into the woods for awhile and then pop out at the end.
Dragon Ball Z and Harry Potter are actually in the same universe.
how
+Liberal bias They just are
+Darth Jar Jar but harry potter is about a boy who goes to a school for wizards. and i don't know what drago ball z is about.
Harry standing up to Voldemort and not going out without a fight is probably my favorite scene for the character. At 14 years old he walked out to face certain death but he did it with bravery and grace. Such an awesome moment
I never really liked the sudden changes the film series had in tone and character development from this film onwards, kind of felt like they were making it more for the American audience.
I don't see it.
Books got darker movies got darker. Í don't see the American thing.
Definitely. The movies get dumber and more cheap comedy is added as they go along. The films aren't serious at all until TDH part one and two whereas the tone is serious in the books throughout. The humor in the books is not frequent, but when is shows up it is intelligent. The movies try to incorporate at least one visual gag every three minutes and there is nothing intelligent to them at all. The book series and films series are almost in contrast of each other.
Really? It seemed to me like they got more serious and started focusing less on comedy as they progressed, then again I haven't seen them in years.
The whole world sure does love to blame everything on Americans. It's really quite sad at this point.
My dad read Harry Potter and the Scorcerers Stone to me, then I got The chamber of Secrets as an audiobook. I read 3 and 4 myself and got back into Audio books, then read the final Book myself.
and I have to say: there is this German guy who reads the Harry Potter books, he is called Rufus Beck.
they are like 30+ hours long and I remember switching CDs forever, but damn. This guy is a god. I'm 21 now and I'm currently thinking about buying the entire series as a MP3 Collection and just re-listen to them all over again.
Top 3 in the Harry Potter series
The book is
NOT the movie
Sitting and waiting. Sounds like Formula 1.
Formula 1 is great.
Brynjar Reynisson Still, for the spectators it's a lot of sitting and waiting for cars to zoom by.
I stopped watching F1 a long time ago and never repented
I wish this were longer.
This movie was perfect. It was even better than the third movie. It was more interesting and dark. Harry was so handsome with this new hairstyle.
TRIVIA THAT YOU NEVER KNEW! Patrick Doyle used a music-cue lifted from JAWS. (In the lead up to the maze-scene, there is a half-hearted march - it is the exact same piece of music John Williams used in Jaws when Mayor Vaughn opens the beach for 4th of July.). "Amity - as you know - means friendship!"
If I were Harry, I would use my magic to call Child Protective Services
Fun fact: Mike Newell, the director of Garblarafar also directed Donnie Brasco, a movie with perhaps the best Johnny Depp performance and one of the last great Al Pacino performances
Best Book, but worst movie.
nein, order of the phoenix was trash
Agreed, but the goblet of fire didn't live up to the book in my mind.
Order of the Phoenix didn't have that great of a book behind it, so I wasn't expecting it to be that good.
Nathan Brinkerhoff it is a rip off of hunger games for sure
UnbelievabIeMontages The hunger games ripped of Harry Potter. Harry Potter was published first.
I think order of the Phoenix was the best book. but the movie was ok. but I do always have a soft spot for chamber of secrets.😊
This always used to be my favorite entry in the series.
HERmoine, not HARmoine.
NAH HARAMBAE
I always thought that while Ron and Harry were fighting, Ron didn't actually want Harry to die a horrible burnt death. Like this guy told a guy, who he thought was a mass-murderer, that he has to kill him as well if he wanted to kill Harry. I don't think he's going to be cheering at Harry getting hurt or worse
I guess only you can get me and find similarities between Harry Potter and Star Wars
- Dumbledore = Obi Wan
- Harry = Luke
- snape = Vader
- voldemort = emperor
- Owls = Bots
- wands = lightsabers
- death eaters = stormtroopers
- Ron = Han (not quite)
- Hermione = Leia
Lucius=Vader
The life and death situation which harry was in when facing the dragon outweighed the animosity which Ron held against Harry. It didn't need to be explained. They were always still friends. They were just pissed off at each other. Ron's realisation of how perilous the situation was for Harry and that it was something which he wouldn't actually want be a part of (as he first thought) became apparent.
There are few times I have disagreed with Chris, and sadly this is one of them!
I get that the director was trying to pull the characters in puberty aspect and chose comedy as a medium. But, the movie was boring. Even the action sequences couldn't save it. And when you put this with the other potter movies, goblet of fire is actually a let down. It could have a perfect stage from the Prisoner of Azkaban, but sadly it squandered completely.
That's my thoughts though.
Great review as always Chris, but dude. when you said that about Harry's parents being next to him, I was thinking of the Gohan and Goku DBZ moment. I gasped when you said that a second later. You're not alone haha
the movie which made me fall for Emma Watson...
'Goblet of Fire' is my favourite HP book and film - despite their differences. They totally nailed the Yule Ball, the dragon chase scene during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament is thrilling to watch, the second task in the Black Lake is gorgeous, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort is reeeally creepy and Cedric's death remains the saddest HP film death scene ever.
I think the only bad Harry Potter movie is Deathly Hallows Part 1
It was one of the best imo.
Respect. But I thought DH: Part 1 was awesome because it followed the first part of the book to the T! It was great to see everything come to life... and theeeeeen... DH 2 ruined everything lol

Chris, I just wanted to point out or reconcile what's going on with Ron when he is cheering for Harry at the first challenge of the Tri-Wizard's Tournament, and I think there are a couple of explanations for his behavior there.
1. By the time Harry goes out to face the Hungarian Horntail, Ron has seen 3 different older and presumably more capable wizards almost get burned to death facing their dragons. Even Victor Krumm, one of the best flyers in the world struggled against his Chinese Fire Ball. After seeing these 3 horrific attempts, perhaps Ron has come to accept Harry's explanation that he wouldn't have signed up for this voluntarily. Ron says as much later in the post-challenge BFF make up scene. This may explain why he is cheering for Harry when Harry emerges from the tent despite their recent spat.
2. It is also possible that Ron sees the Hungarian Horntail (having heard about them from his older brother, the dragon tamer) and is just worried about Harry, his best friend of 3 years. Even if Ron did not have the realization mentioned in the above explanation, it is possible that in that moment of fear, his feelings of friendship overwhelmed the anger from their argument.
Anyway, as a huge Harry Potter fan (both the books and the movies), I just wanted to maybe explain what Rupert Grint was doing there and what the director may have had in mind. Love your channel, and can't wait for Order of the Phoenix!
Sigh... One more time dahling... HER-MY-OH-NEE. Not HAR-MY-OH-NEE. HER not HAR.
I literally saw the DBZ comparison as soon as chris started talking about harry's parents helping him! so awesome
CHAMBER OF SECRETS IS THE BEST HARRY POTTER MOVIE AND ALSO BOOK
This film has a special place in my heart because my cousin was the supervising sound editor on the film. I happened to be going to London (from the US) that same summer. So I got a free place to stay in London, which saved me a TON of money and I got to hear all about what was happening with the movie.
This one's still the worst.
Overacted, too foggy looking, breakneck pacing, downgraded musical score, even more melodramatic than the third, plot points utterly cut [such as yes, The Dursleys, but also the character motivation behind Fake! Moody] to the point that things barely make sense.
I can appreciate No. 3 for some cinematic flare, and the fact that the source material was kinda meh.
But this was the turning point in the book series where things were to get really dark and the Newell/Cloves team utterly fudged it. Not sure what Chris means by "playing it with such maturity" or "it could've been a soap opera" when that's exactly what happened. Thank heavens Yates came in at 5 and saved it from the Post-Columbus funk.
For the Series: F
By itself: D
Go watch Order of the Phoenix for hilarious teenage hijinx, it's all done far better there.
Okay fine, C-. It did a decent job with the actual tournament and the ending was well done. But the rest of it just don't work.
acrazyutuber13
K.
Lol, yeah I agree... I'm assuming that you also saw the Dom's video on this adaptation like I did? Personally, Chris' awful opinion on this film doesn't bother me, but it does upset me to see he gave this crappy film a higher grade than Chamber of secrets (which is my favorite HP film) but Chris clearly read the book, so I can't really blame him for not sitting there scratching his head like I'm sure that most people that didn't read the book did... 😑
