Sukhdev Sandhu 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 Dec 8, 2014 Full Review Peter Bradshaw 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 Dec 8, 2014 Full Review Victoria Segal New Statesman For the first time, adults might actually enjoy a Harry Potter film as much as children. Dec 8, 2014 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn Compared to the previous entry, this was rather boring but the world building was pretty cool. The teachers at Hogwarts are grossly incompetent. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn It's a bit overlong and drags at times but it sets up some really amazing things for future films. Also, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman are fantastic as always. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Martin Carr 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.

Aiden H Goblet of fire is my favorite of the books. And they did it sooooo dirty. They didn't include 90% of the creatures that were supposed to appear and it was over all a lack luster movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Audience Member VERY GOOD MOVIE, and pay, to go see this movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"(2005,(PG-13))! I went to see this movie at 11:15am(CT) Sunday August 24, 2025 in Austin, Texas(TX). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Dallas H New teacher, but the same old Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Have any of the students asked why a new teacher is assigned every year? The tone of this movie is a complete shift from the previous films. It felt like a giant leap forward. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Nic S Growing up, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” was my favourite film in the series. Revisiting it, I can see where I found so much enjoyment out of it. But considering that this is the most intriguing, different league novel amongst the pack, I can also understand why fans are so disappointed with the film version. What saves Goblet of Fire is its story. It has so many components - a very FUN and DIFFERENT tri-wizard tournament (from dragon crusades to underwater rescues), a beautiful yule ball, school rivalries and an absolutely terrifying introduction of Voldemort: signifying a distinct shift that nothing will ever be the same again. These incredibly imaginative set pieces and the characters growing up as well as dealing with new stages in their life, like jealousy and romance, make for a fantastic foundation for a Harry Potter film. Did the film deliver on this promise? Well, it was okay. The visuals still exhibited the wonder of the Wizarding World and the puberty threads were also expressed - but what I think gets me and other people… is that this movie could have been SO much better. Like, an actual masterpiece. A lot of the scenes, while serviceable and still quite exciting (considering the source material), felt lost to potential. A sloppy use of green screen, lackluster and uninspired action sequences and an odd gray covering the colour palette. It felt too serous for its own good in many portions. Where was the levity? The X-Factor? There were several missteps that are disappointing to such a beloved novel. The one bright addition is Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes has so much evil charisma and dramatics as this loooong built up antagonist, that he delivers in all cylinders. Fiennes simply makes Voldemort is OWN. At the end of the day, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” is a fine movie. We can all watch it and have a good time just due to its magnitude, storytelling premise and established actors carrying its laod. But, I just knew…Goblet of Fire could have been a real trip. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Jordan B. The Goblet of Fire takes a page of inspiration from Peter Jackson's visionary directing style on LOTR and the end product delivers one of the most stunning and thrilling movies in the entire Harry Potter series. I deeply wish they would have kept Sirius' character arc from the book in the final movie though. 10/10. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Logan C. Pretty good movie. Not really a good adaptation but as a stand alone film it’s pretty good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
