4/5
Where Newell really scores is in taking a leaf out of Peter Jackson's book and cranking up the fear factor. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/08/2014
3/5
For those like me who are outside but sympathetic to the faith, it looks like another handsomely made, good-natured and high-spirited family movie, which is dramatically stymied through being locked within school grounds. Go to Full Review
Victoria Segal New Statesman 12/08/2014
For the first time, adults might actually enjoy a Harry Potter film as much as children. Go to Full Review

A-
An underrated submission into the cinematic Harry Potter canon, no doubt, and a thrilling one-off experience from a director who took a swing in multiple manners. Go to Full Review

3/5
Compared to the previous entry, this was rather boring but the world building was pretty cool. The teachers at Hogwarts are grossly incompetent. Go to Full Review

3/5
It's a bit overlong and drags at times but it sets up some really amazing things for future films. Also, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman are fantastic as always. Go to Full Review

Alex G @RT15582241 1d The best Potter movie and I don't really think it's close. This has so much action. However, I could see people hating it as it's good and people think trash movies like the Odyssey and the Empire Strikes back are great movies. Think of this as the Star Wars Episode one of the Harry Potter franchise. It has all the cool stuff and characters but people will still pretend it's not good. See more Vixo S @vixo_six Jun 9 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an uneven but essential chapter in the saga. Its first stretch can feel lighter and less focused than The Prisoner of Azkaban, partly because it introduces many characters, locations and rules through the spectacle of the Triwizard Tournament. Dragons, underwater trials and new schools expand the world, but they also make the film feel crowded. What gives the film real weight is the way that apparent adventure becomes a trap. The arc around Moody and Barty Crouch Jr turns the entire story into a hidden mechanism leading toward Voldemort's return. The third act changes the saga completely. Cedric's death and Ralph Fiennes's unsettling entrance make danger physical and irreversible. It may not be the most solid adaptation, and some omissions weaken its depth, but Goblet of Fire matters because it breaks the illusion of safety. See more Jude M. @RT74733850 Jun 6 A thrilling and important turning point for the series. The Triwizard Tournament is exciting, the stakes are higher than ever, and the ending changes the wizarding world forever. While some parts of the book had to be cut, it still delivers an entertaining and emotional adventure. See more Melanie D @PPSS2023 May 27 Very bad compared to the other movies. The only funny thing is the memes created from this. "HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!" See more Eric S. @RT63786740 May 23 By far worst movie of the series ! Did they even bother to read the book ? Took out all the charm of the book giving the weasleys the poor seats when they had the same high end box next to the M O M in the book ! And of course the famous did you put your name in the GOF said calmly ! See more Peridot Z @RT85868418 May 16 this is my favorite movie and book, really good See more Read all reviews
