Goblet of Fire is the fourth of the Harry Potter films. It follows Harry as he returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a fourth year and takes part as an underage competitor in "The Triwizard Tournament"; a competition between three wizarding schools, involving a series of deadly and dangerous tasks.
I really love the GoF novel, and I think the majority of it translates well to screen. It's a really well made film. The scenery, special effects and costumes are great.
The acting is okay. Well, the adults are good, the younger cast members... well... average really. But if you compare them to how they acted in the first film, then they deserve Oscars for this one.
Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley is, as always, probably the best thing about the film. He IS Ron Weasley in my eyes. He plays him perfectly. It's his facial expressions. One of my favourite scenes in the film is where Ron is getting ready for the Yule Ball, fretting over his extremely ugly (and frilly) dress robes that his mother sent for him. Excellent!
Overall, I think it's a fairly good adaptation of a wonderful book, with lots of entertaining moments.
7/10

I really would recommend watching the others. The fourth and fifth ones especially, are nothing like the first few. They're much more adult, whereas I think the first two are just aimed at children.
