Wizard special effects, but the fourth installment won't set your world on fire.
If you haven’t jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon yet, this is not the time to start - unless you plan on reading the books first. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” the fourth in the series, is a transitory film, one in the middle, where significant things happen, but only in terms of the bigger Potter picture. And it suffers from trying to condense a 700-plus page book into 157 minutes.

Fans of producer Mel Brooks (Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Spaceballs) should know what to expect from this lover of OTT comedy. The jokes are often in bad taste, the characters one-dimensional caricatures and the plot completely unrealistic; but most of his movies are absolutely hilarious.
