ok, really late movie review BUT...

i just watched harry potter - goblet of fire!

The latest of the whole franchise. I m starting to realise that all the harry potter movies are basically photocopies of one another. Why? Because at the start it's all happy and cheery in Hogwarts, the 3 kids having fun, doing their normal everyday stuff. Then something big/dangerous comes along and scares the hell out of everyone. Something bad happens in Hogwarts - "the students must be protected!" blah blah blah.

The audience, from the start of the movie, is left to ponder on who's the bad guys and the guessing game begins. In HP3, it was sirius black that was the initial bad guy. In another previous installments, it was Tom Riddle. Each episode, audiences (or at least me) try to guess the baddie, in the hope that at the end of the movie we can go "yes! i knew it was him all along!" (well at least for me, since i dont read the book)

And well needless to say, since the baddies are starting to get increasingly predictable, i guessed correctly that it was the prof with the glass eye. whoopee. prize for me please.

On the whole it was okay i guess. My movie experience was probably hampered by
1) watching the movie at 1am
2) watching the movie at 1am in my brightly lit bedroom
3) watching the movie at 1am in my brightly lit bedroom on my teeny weeny laptop screen
4) watching the movie at 1am in my brightly lit bedroom on my teeny weeny laptop screen and having to squint at certain parts cos i'm watching a pirated version and the dark parts are REALLY dark.

i should have gone to the movies! GINNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
grr.
To add on, this stupid girl GINNY CHUA, was supposed to watch HP with me. BUT, in the end, she went to watch with her then-lover instead. SO IRRITATING!!! zhong se qing you. BAD GIRL.
