Critics Consensus

The main characters are maturing, and the filmmakers are likewise improving on their craft; vibrant special effects and assured performances add up to what is the most complex yet of the Harry Potter films.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Where Newell really scores is in taking a leaf out of Peter Jackson's book and cranking up the fear factor.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

For those like me who are outside but sympathetic to the faith, it looks like another handsomely made, good-natured and high-spirited family movie, which is dramatically stymied through being locked within school grounds.

Rated: 3/5

For the first time, adults might actually enjoy a Harry Potter film as much as children.

CBR

Tri-wizard cups may take centre stage in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but British director Mike Newell pushes the movie franchise further into adult territory and makes entry essential.

Rated: 8/10

[Director Mike] Newell brings a distinctively British sense of low key, wry humor to the spectacle without losing the increasingly serious dimensions of the drama, and he brings out marvelous shades of personality from our evolving young heroes.

...a woefully uneven installment that feels, for the most part, as though it should be a good hour shorter...

Rated: 2.5/4

I would rate this one above Prisoner of Azkaban, but otherwise it is the weakest film in the franchise. This is due to the book being over 700 pages with tons of missing content. They trimmed the film down and it threw pacing off. Overall, a nice visit to the familiar castle we love.

Im watching the HP saga for the first time and this is by far the worst and dumbest of all the HP movies. The plot overall is completely stupid. Characters act like they aren't aware of themselves or whats happening. Feels like it was solely made for the visual effects, which are great but far from being enough to overshadow the terrible writing and logic of this movie.

This is a very well-made transposition of the book, realizing complicated scenes with a good mixture of drama, fun and good acting considering the young age of the main protagonists. The movie is getting darker than the previous, the atmosphere is balancing that with the action and the incredible scenarios. The characters development shines through, although of course, there is some smoothening that could be done on some details where one can see the maturity of the actors. There are some great scenes and great action as well as more introspective moments, focusing on displaying the “characters”, in a quite good balance. The movie is keeping a good pace, being interesting most of the time and not trivializing the flow, building up to reaching a dramatic climax.

This 4° adaptation of a Harry Potter book still captures the heart of fans with a thrilling history as they kids grow older and the films becomes more adults.
