I kinda think it's disappointing to me because I don't like the director.

Well, it's not really really disappointing, I enjoyed the movie, but the director was Dreadful, you're right.

GoF is the worst movie of the series. It changed so much, and didn't entertain me enough to the point that I didn't care, like when I was watching OotP.

it makes no sense whatsoever for Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to be single sex schools.

we barely see anything of the foreign champions...particularly fleur

I can not believe that fleur is part veela...they really dropped the ball in the make up department there

Who is this Nigel person? what about dennis!

wooshing death eaters? ermk

we don't even properly find out what happened to crouch sr

what on earth was up with the ceiling bit at the feast? I still don't get it to this day.

That crouch jr tongue thing is just ridiculous

by already severely toning down hermione's hair they ruined her entrance at the yuleball. its like ooo her hair is up and she's wearing a dress. big whoop

the hair in this movie is atrocious

no creatures/obstacles in the maze! just moving shrubbery! I'm so scared.

we don't see the quidditch match!

why on earth was harry running back into the people fleeing the scene at the world cup? and then he just happens to pass out.

the sirius in the fire cgi was crap, and not how it was described.

Hermione has pms 24/7 in this movie

Aggressive Dumbledore for the lose

The Patil twins are in the same house. I guess they thought it would be confusing if Padma was in a different house...but really its more confusing that a girl how previously had no twin...suddenly has one...in the same house. so we should have known about it.

I'll leave it there for now but I'm sure if I took the time I could expand on this list.

Where was this, they weren't wooshing, i thought they were apparating.

He was running away, he tripped and got kicked in the face and he passed out.

Everything else i agree with but they aren't all major flaws in the movie apart from not seeing the quidditch world cup game.
One of the annoying things for me was in the first task, you didn't get to see what happened with the other champions.

Yeah, apparating in the books is sudden and makes a cracking sound or popping, usually. Not a whooshing sound and visually whooshing.

it was when they were all "apparating" in the graveyard at the end. the wooshing is reused in OotP as well.

and I don't remember seeing him kicked in the face or anything...I think I even watched really closely once because it baffled me so much. but its so crowded its hard to tell. but can you justify why he would be running towards them?

^Yeah, that whole think look contrived. It was obvious that the screenwriter or director just needed him to be alone in the field by himself. It just looked very forced.

Arabella said it all.

But I still like this film. Not the best film at all, but enjoyable.

I liked the book, but the movie could've gone more into detail... That would've made it so much better.

I thought that this is the best film so far in the series. I loved the whole idea of the Triwizard tourment and the other schools.

They left so many things out. I expected it to be the best Harry Potter movie so far, but it disappointed me. Confused

It wasn't disappointing as much as it was kind of annoying because I swear the director was trying to do the Harry/Hermione thing.

NO NO NO NO NO!

I've said before to others and they thought I was insane....
that part on the bridge? wth, why wasn't Ron there? What purpose did it serve to not have Ron on that bridge?
The Yule Ball Brawl looked so forced, and of course Harry comes in and interrupts... I swear Newell is a Harry/Hermione shipper, it's the only reason I can think of as to why he kept trying to force them together in so many scenes.
