I agree with regards to the whole portkey thing- that's one of the reasons I didn't care for the book. I kept thinking it would have been so much easier for Moody/Crouch to simply hex an everyday item of Harry's to transport him to Voldie. Of course, the book would have been much shorter then.
The Tournament was a good way to introduce new characters and schools, though. It also helps to propel Harry more firmly into the world of defensive magic, as his learning curve must be a bit more enhanced than the average fourth year student, given that he has an evil homicidal maniac on his ass. I like your comparison of villians, iSm- it's right on. Voldemort is the ultimate cartoon bad guy, and nothing is ever uncomplicated with him.
