Fly Me to the Moon (2007)
Fine
The movie is fine; and fun for kids who are in the bug stage. I never took cartoons at face value even as a kid and I am not seeing my daughter do it either. If the flies not being perfect are what you are worrying about as opposed to the idea that flies talk than this movie is not for you. I have never met a child who could not point out a fly or an ant, or a potato bug, etc...
As to the patriotism - a bit here and there doesn't hurt - we have lost our way a bit and maybe some good patriotism can help us find some pride in the good we have done, either way I doubt this movie will affect anyone all that much. Saying that note that patriotism is not nationalism, though I know the universities tell you that.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Good movie
I like the books, the CDs and the movies - saying all that - GOF is like taking the book and thumbing through it, or listening to the CDs on fast forward - good story, but way too fast. I would swear everyone was actually speaking extremely fast even during the important scenes. There was plenty of good material for 2 movies (may be that is just too expensive? I am not here to discuss the good and bad of Hollywood)...
Also Michael Gambon has re-made Dumbledore his own. I am not a fan of his version but I understand the he could not do it the same way as Richard Harris (who played the part exactly as I pictured it when I read the books)...
All in all - definitely see the movie...better than POA if not quite up to bar with the first two.
