Goblet of Fire out on DVD today!

Long on laughs derived from by-now-well-known personalities: A definite plus.

Only the essentials of the story: An acceptable necessity.

Hamhanded segues to accommodate only the essentials: A decided minus. I am painfully aware of these, even though I've seen the film a dozen times. It remains choppy.

Wonderful Art Direction does not equal "style." I felt the film looked great, but did not have anything like the visual flair, much less the director's flair or the screenwriters adaptation skillz of the last outing, Prisoner of Azakaban - which remains my favorite HP, and remains to me - quite seriously - the best picture of 2004.

Goblet comes in as my next fave Potter flick. Not bad. But I'd prefer steady and definite improvement. Oh well, an all around good movie and the funniest Potter by far. (The Twins should have a spin-off series of their own.)
