As a blockbuster - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire satisfies as an appropriately darker, energetic, visually pleasing and action-packed fourth entry in the iconic franchise. As an adaptation, it is a little crammed and rushed in places. And this film has a strange portrayal of Dumbledore (too shouty). But the acting from the cast is reliably strong, the score is great, the world building is excellent and all the emotional scenes hit. Plus Voldemort making his official debut is epic, amazing and memorable to behold (Ralph Fiennes deserved an Oscar nomination). Brendan Gleeson as Mad Eye Moody is the MVP.
