GoF
I finally got to see GoF! It's a good movie, very funny, *spectacular* visuals – but PoA was better. Can we have Cuaron back on team? And oh, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
msgenevieve - watch the movie. Dan will make you squee, as will David Tennant.
the bad:
Why was there no Narcissa Malfoy with Lucius and Draco at the World Cup? And why was there no Quidditch match? I wanted the Quidditch match!
Emma's acting needs to improve. No, seriously. She gets away with it because she has little to do in the movies, but it won't help her if she's to do something else other than play Hermione Granger.
Rupert is very funny, but he's *got* to lose those facial expressions. Rupert, honey? You're not Jim Carrey. Don't try to be.
The editing throughout the movie was very choppy. I understand that they had to compress the story, but that's not an excuse.
the good:
Dan's acting has improved. He's the best among the three.
OMG Viktor Krum! I know Cedric's fandom's latest favourite pretty boy, but Krum! So pretty!
The visuals were absolutely spectacular. From the Quidditch stadium to the Durmstrang ship, everything was spectacular. This is the reason I go to the movies – they bring JKR's world alive.
Miranda Richardson is the best. THE BEST! I now want to write Rita Skeeter fic.
Snape in the study sequence? Ahahaha!
OMG Voldemort! Ralph Fiennes *owned* the character. His creepyness and his mesmerising presence – it's all there.
I heart Harry/Myrtle. *g*

Heh. Here in the land of 3 hour long movies, it's not really something we have to worry about, but yeah, that makes sense. *g*
I thought the entrance of the two other schools was stunning, especially the contrast between the over-the-top romantic balleticism of the Beauxbaton students and the military drill precision of Durmstrang.
Oh, that scene was absolutely beautiful!
Harry and Parvati are just fumbling their way through a standard waltz and then with the little lift you realize the whole thing, with the hesitation and the shifting arms, is all real choreography.
Real choreography? Oh, that's excellent! It never occured to me. I was much more impressed by the way the kids freaked out when the band came on - rang very true, lol!

There's a film review show here that includes the running time of the film with the title, and I'm always stunned at how many "feature-length" films there are that run barely over 1 1/2 hours. There was serious controversy about the third LotR film, which ran 201 minutes in the theatrical version (as opposed to extended, DVD release) and that wasn't aimed at an audience with kids in it. Although since Goblet is rated PG-13, that's less of a concern.
Real choreography? Oh, that's excellent! It never occured to me.
The next time you see the film, take another look -- it's a masterful sequence.
