I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire truly excited by the prospect of this film which should be the turning point in the Harry Potter odyssey, but came away somewhat disappointed.
The special effects were awesome, but the film played like a highlights tape. I know that there is no possible way to cover what was in the book, but the movie jumped from one high point to the next, with almost no character development.
I fully expected this to be a darker movie, but it was lacking the warmth of the earlier films, simply because it didn't devote any time to the friendship of the three. I was also very surprised that so little time was devoted to the finale. This particular event was the changing point in Harry's life and it received even less time than some of the Challenges.
There was some minor comic relief (usually involving Ron), but it just wasn't enough... and wasn't very funny.
All that said, the film definitely held my interest and rates almost four stars, but it felt like it was missing heart. It just left me kind of cold...
