CinemaBlend.com (Joshua Tyler)
This is a good movie, and a fun movie, but not a great movie. I think Harry's fans are pretty happy with mediocre. At least mediocre isn't bad. ...read the complete Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie review at CinemaBlend.com (Joshua Tyler)

Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)
True to the form of previous Potter films, the busy story tends to lose track of characters, hyperactively vaulting from one plotline to the next without satisfying resolutions or transitions. ...read the complete Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie review at Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)
Los Angeles Daily News (Glenn Whipp)
In Harry's world, it turns out that the everyday struggles of adolescence are scarier than anything a dark lord -- even one raised from the dead -- can muster.

MTV (Kurt Loder)
