Rushed and sloppy; though the movie is as confident in its choices as Prisoner of Azkaban was, it's not to the same effect, because the choices are nowhere near as good. It seems fucking campy. The book is either my favorite or second-favorite in the series, and this doesn't quite hold up to it. Still, I enjoy it.

It's a family-movie but for me not so intresting. It's not my type of family-movie that I want to see. It's now the fourth movie and it's always the same : the same school, witches etc. I hope they will not make 10 movies like that !

This is kind of a middle film based on likeability. It is worse than Azkaban, but greater than the first two. The noticeable production flaws and terrible character developments from the first two have remerged, but the dark and broody yet bewitching feeling of the third has been retained. Difficult to rate.

I caught it on TV. Harry Potter makes me feel old, as I can never understand what is all the fuss about it. For me, everything in it screams 'mediocre' and it is basically a mish-mash of all fantasy ideas with half-cooked social commentary. I can't even find one likable character in it. Most probably, I will watch all of the series over the next 20 years and will never be able to make sense of it. Maybe production quality gets better or something....

Decent. Inferior to Azkaban. Lacks that film's visual flair. Often feels disjointed; plot points are introduced suddenly or are dropped abruptly. Feels like a highlights reel of a much better and less fragmented movie. Needs longer running time, and a better use of it.

This film is just all right, and honestly, a bit of a disappointment after the first three. The CGI is superb, but it does not make up for very large plot holes. Hopefully the fifth movie will capture the spirit better.

Harry Potter is really not my thing and this is the only film I've seen, dragged into it by a group of friends with nothing better to do. At the risk of this becoming a critique of the series in general, I don't get the appeal of a blank slate protagonist thrown into the worst aspects of high-school drama and cheesy CGI-heavy fantasy. Like that test where HP has to save his friends from the lake... you're saying teachers kidnapped them and left them to die in order to raise the stakes?

Harry's losing it, the charm and mystery solving adventure of the first two is nearly entirely lost. And this is nowhere near the dark brooding nature of Azkaban.

The notably dark visual style, decent performances, and some entertaining scenes don't make up for the absolute shambles they made of the plot. Adapting a novel, even a lengthy one, is not an excuse for such a terrible, rushed exposition. Neither is cutting away from major scenes for budgetary concerns, and rushing on to the next plot point that has to be referenced.

Not as distinctive (or as fun) as Azkaban, it still does a damn good job. It's a bit rushed, even with all the superfluous bits from the book cut out. There's so much ground to cover that important plot threads like Harry's increasing unpopularity arise and get resolved in the space of a few minutes. This is also a rather dark and gloomy entry in the series, and earns its PG-13 rating. Even the ending is very subdued, lacking the triumphant oomph of the previous films.

From a storytelling perspective the strongest or at least most involved film of the series upto this point. The plotting is engaging, even if the central premise of the inter-school wizarding tourney just seems overly grisly. Though a little light on laughs, and gloomy throughout, it has real dramatic clout. For the first time, the teachers are no longer able to wholly protect the students in the face of true peril (though you might think the PTA would step in at some point..).

For the moment only have seen the first one , and this one. Expected more of the 3 'great challenges' , and Fleur and Kruml. Alsow tought hole the film would be more darker ( from what I have heard ). Liked the Potter vs Voldemort confrontation , and that's why I want to see the rest. For Voldemort. I can understand why many people love it , but I think it's just alright and fun to look at.

Pretty ineptly put together, the clear worst of the Harry Potter movie franchise. I try to set aside my fandom for the books, but what they did to the plot here is pretty much just a mess. Spending half an hour at a school dance and going on a long tangent with a dragon chase scene, only to skip over practically all of the interesting parts for noticeably rushed exposition, is not my idea of a good adaptation of any novel. The entry of Big Bad Voldemort into the series is pretty good, though.

The plot doesn't really make sense, nor do the motivations of the characters, but at least Brendan Gleeson is on hand to elevate the scenes he's in. Glad to see a sliver of darkness toward the end, though it isn't nearly enough for the viewer to feel fairly compensated for the self-indulgent runtime.

Not as good as the Prisoner, but still a surprisingly good HP adaptation. The beginning must be confusing for people who didn't read the book, but the ending is just perfect, with Fiennes as an incredible Voldemort.

Not awful, but kind of sloppy and disjointed. Ideas from the book are introduced and then either disappear after 5 minutes or are never followed up on. Gleeson is fun as always, and Ralph Fiennes' first scene as Voldemort is one of my favorite of the series. Not as good is the tottally pointless Ron/Harry arguing, the pretty dull action scenes, and the Quidditch World Cup that you get to see for like 30 seconds.

Conventional wisdom has it that this, the fourth installement in the lucrative Harry Potter series, is also the best. I beg to differ. It's dark, scary, and even features Daniel Radcliffe in a soapsud-filled bathtub, but the whole never does add up to more than the sum of its parts. To see true justice done to Harry Potter, watch Alfonso Cuarón's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban": sheer magic, made with an obvious relish for the proceedings at hand.

This is a decent film, but it has a rather rushed feel to it. I imagine that some parts must be fairly confusing to people who haven't read the book. I don't think I've read the book since it was published, and I found myself puzzled by certain parts. There are also too many scenes that felt like they should've been there but that were obviously taken out/never filmed for time reasons -- the quidditch world cup match comes to mind.

A fun fantasy flick. The kid actors are noticeably improved; Rupert Grint in particular comes into his own with a surprising comic flair as Ron and won a lot of laughs from me. The major set pieces like the Yule Ball and the resurrection of Voldemort capture the feel of the book, although the movie also emulates the book's extremely scattershot storyline. Nonetheless, it's an entertaining Potter.

While the baggage and confusing mythos are beginning to necessitate reading the books to truly understand just what is going on during any given scene, I'm not going to succumb to the impulse. My rationale is as it always has been with book adaptations: if you have to read the book in order to understand a movie, then it isn't really that good of an adaptation then, is it?

This film suffers from a very oppressive & bleak tone - it looks so grey and bland! While the climax of the film is very dark (and featuring Ralph Fiennes chewing a lot of scenery) the rest of the film kind of suffers from this shift in tone - while the plot becomes near incomprehensible at points, often needing resolved with the return of endless expository dialogue. The cast are great, especially the young leads, although I found their hairstyles irritating.

These films are getting darker, which is good, and longer, which isn't so good. I continue to hope that Ron and Hermionie will be less whiny in the next one. I think I will probably be disappointed.

An unenthusiastic followup to Cuaron's artful Prisoner of Azkaban. It feels rushed, cutting most of the book's amusing tangents (to be fair, the novel is over 700 pages), and the result is a film that moves quickly but gives the audience no time to savor any of the detail of Rowling's world. The three leads seem tired of their roles, and I don't blame them.

Tries to be an exact reproduction of the book and unsurprisingly fails. There is no effort to adapt the story to explain the stuff that was cut due to time constraints, resulting in an incoherent mess. I actually had to have many of the key points explained to me by a fan. Apart from the very end, the movie didn't advance the main story at all. Skip it.

The tipping point for the series. It had its moments, and some very nice imagery, but this is where the angst of the series builds up and starts taking itself far too seriously. Goblet of Fire is not a bad movie as it still is fun to watch and maybe the best of the later Potter films, but it is a point of no return from the wonderment from the that the first three films had.

I'll give this an 80 because it ends strongly, once Voldemort shows up. It was a 75 before that because it is better than the first, on par with the second. Gleeson and Pattinson are great additions, especially Gleeson since he was given a lot to work with. There are flaws, somebody pointed out pointless Harry/Ron arguing, which is true. The directing is not as good as Prisoner, but the acting as a whole may be the strongest it's been up to this point.

Too many one-off characters for my liking, but I had forgotten Robert Pattinson had a prominent role in a Harry Potter movie, so that was a nice surprise. The fairytale aspect managed to carry the experience to be magically thrilling, but this 4th one was probable the weakest at this point.

I actually really like the darker tone this film sets, as this is the first real turning point in the franchise where the stakes are raised and the film tackles more mature subject matter. I think there are still some really inventive sequences here and the first taste of what a Harry vs Voldemort spell battle would look like. Serves as a bridge for the back half of the series, but still well done.

Mike Newell once mentioned that there were plans to split this film in two. Considering that the book is overlong but fun at best and an incoherent mess at worst, I'm glad that Newell exercised pragmatism in adapting this, but there is one plotline in particular (S.P.E.W.) that I wish hadn't been cut, as it's very important to Hermione's character. It would have been nice to see a Lord of the Rings-style extended edition, but overall, I'm still happy with the final result.

Worst of the saga. Though the story goes darker and darker, this one is much lighter than 2nd-3rd, specially Cuarón's. Probably direction has a lot to do with that, both Columbus and Yates reach a reasonable quality, Cuarón made the best, but Newell does just a mediocre unispired work. The story still has its points, but everything good about it is just a shadow of Rowling's book, made flat and without spirit by Newell. Watched in order, it's specially bad the worst one follows the best one.

Once you realize the plot you'll see that all of it could have been done at any given time over the past 13 years. I'll give it points for trying to have a plot at least, but once again a blanket of darkness is cast over the set so that kiddie antics seem more dramatic and serious. [Rifftrax was somewhat uninspired, I found myself forgetting that they're there. While there are some good laughs left in them I think our boys are just as sick of this series as I am.]

Newell is trying to channel Cuaron's directorial efforts in Goblet of Fire but, no offense to the former, he just isn't nearly as good as the latter. This entry seems to ride the line between the darker tone of Azkaban and the children's whimsy of the first two. As a result, it hits a mediocre middle-ground that doesn't do anything particularly well or poorly either. This entry is necessary to move the larger plot along but unnecessary viewing by any other standard.

This is one of my least favorite Potter movies. It's just...weird. Not the charming, whimsical weird of the third movie, but campy weird. It feels like Sam Raimi directed it. There is a definitely rushed feeling as the director seems more concerned with fitting as much material in as possible rather than trying to achieve a consistent tone and pace to the movie. It feels disjointed and rushed, less constructed and more thrown together.

The third act makes up for most of the film's terrible first and second acts, which both set new standards for witless and pointless portions of the Potter series. However, the completely random nature of almost everything in these movies continues to plague the fourth entry with a focus on a wizards tournament and a bunch of supplementary characters no one cares about (though at least this time Newell tries).

I hate to say it, but this plot is a mess. I largely don't understand the chain of events or character motivations. Why is Ron mad at Harry, only for that idea to fall apart completely? How in the world did the events depicted take up an entire school year? Did some children almost get murdered at the bottom of the sea? Is anyone still down there? How in the hell did Harry get from the maze to a graveyard, and then back again? Magic I guess. It's all so convenient. It's fine I guess.
