I personally love it and consider it my favorite movie of the series and think it’s WAY BETTER than the massively overrated 3rd movie or any of David Yates’ boring flicks.
And it was the first Harry Potter movie I ever saw in theaters as a kid. I honestly really don’t care how unfaithful it is to book or if Mike Newell didn’t read the book or respect the source material or that Dumbledore ”didn’t ask calmly.”
And I personally wish Mike Newell directed all the Harry Potter movies.

Remember I’m talking about the fourth Harry Potter film, not the third Harry Potter film. |

This is the entire reason it's widely considered the worst film, because it's not faithful to the book or the characters. |

Yes, but none of the movies were faithful to the books especially the third film and the David Yates films. Anyways it doesn’t matter, the people who hate this movie are in a small minority because the movie was a huge critical and commercial box office success and not everyone who read the books hates this movie and gets a huge thorn in their side because of the differences between the book and the movie. |

There are different levels to it though. GoF was incredibly rushed, had terrible characterisation, and skipped out huge moments from the book which fans really wanted to see.
I completely agree that none of the films were entirely faithful to the books or the characters, that's just a fact, but those flaws are widely considered to be most glaringly apparent in GoF. Perhaps because it feels rushed just as a film in its own right, not just as an adaptation. The other films, even when they skip or change things, have better pacing, so the changes aren't so jarring.

I’m just trolling you, I freaking hate the Goblet Of Fire movie. I watched some clips of the movie on YouTube the other day and couldn’t get over how bad it was.
And man is it not fun pretending to be a fan of this movie. I couldn’t say any of the comments above with a straight face without laughing.
But it is true that it was the first Harry Potter movie I ever saw in theaters as a kid and I loved it the most out of the whole series…until I read the book the second time…that is.
And I still think it’s better and less offensive than the Prisoner Of Azkaban and the David Yates adaptations.

Trolling aside - I think the fact that "Dumbledore asked calmly" became a meme in the HP community is indicative of the massive level of nerddom among them, that they can't even fathom the idea of adapting a work with an actor who does their own interpretation of a character.

Individual interpretation of a character is one thing, but that moment goes way beyond that imo, that's why it's treated as such a big deal -- because Dumbledore would never have behaved like that. Plus, Michael Gambon only ever read half of Philosopher's Stone so it's not like he was putting in the effort to really understand the character, which is irritating when you then see him making choices like this.

Well this thread was a mess.
Aside from that, I would say that although the pacing in The film version of Golbet is bad, the pacing in the following film is far worse. The real issue is that the pacing in the book of goblet is probably the most uneven, so the film has a harder place to start with. I do think that the 4th film is the first to truely lose some of the core elements of the characterisation that had been present in the earlier films, and those parts do not come back in later entries, so again, it's something that is more noticeable with this entry.

I'm going to have to agree with Violent. I don't need the movies to be identical to the books,
but the GOF movie felt rushed and cut out several things that I wanted to see. While I understand
cutting some things to keep it a reasonable length but it was trimmed way down.

I believe they did consider making goblet as a two part film... it probably would have worked, but there is also additional problems that would arrive from disrupting the narrative flow in such a way.
This does make me think of some questions in relation to the new tv series - would each series have the same number of episodes, or would this increase or change with each book?
