Now don't get me wrong, I do love a good goblet of fire. I mean, who doesn't! But this movie is not really about a Goblet o' Firey evilness or even of Firey goodness. It's about that wizard kid, you know the one who's in those books that your nieces and nephews fight over when you bring them by? (yes I have Harry Potter)
The movie was quite good, the kids are growing up and Harry is starting to look like some skinny british nose monster. Puberty is not being kind to Daniel Radcliffe but who is it kind to? Poor guy is famous and he looks like he's already 30.
Anyways, the movie starts out with yet another Harry Potter standard wizard academic contest, but THIS time it's REALLY dangerous! OMG! Which is great except for the fact that this movie suffers from one of the things any movie in a franchise must suffer from. It's a Harry Potter movie. Harry Potter has top billing, no matter how scary it looks Harry Potter WILL NOT DIE!
Harry almost gets eaten by a dragon, almost gets drown by mirpeople who are half octopus, almost gets crushed by a hedgrow, almost gets laid by a bookish bathroom ghost, almost gets shot by friendly magic missiles, almost gets blowed up by the bad guy from Movie 2, almost gets to dance with a chinese girl, almost gets burnt to a crisp by same dragon, almost gets shot by Bullethead Ruskieneck and almost gets brainfried by the school president.
But of course he's just fine.
The costumes and special effects were alot of fun, and I really loved Brendan Gleeson, just as I loved him in Braveheart and 28 Days Later. He's just a growly old bear and he's got this goggly eyepatch thing that is just hilarious.
Another fun thing is Hagrid actually get's laid! She's bigger than he is, and she eats food that was stuck in his beard. It had us rolling around on the floor!
Oh, did I mention that the GOBLET OF OMG is only on the screen for about two minutes? I mean, why not call it Harry Potter and the WIZ cup, which is on screen much longer.
All in all tho it's a very fun and entertaining movie. I say see it if you want to find out how Harry doesn't die.
Three out of five stars.
