The film is well acted, stylish, well characterised, intriguing, well directed, well scored & is darker then its predecessors. (83%) (4/5 stars) (positive)
Yes, he got some stick in those first two movies for having a limited range of expressions but I think that was more how he was written. He was often there just for a reaction shot often a laugh or a scream.
Really good film, the bonds of friendship start to break in this film, its got a very scary dark look to it, Harry is completely out of his depth the whole film and the light relief is also really well done.
Agreed on the lack of Alan Rickman. It's just a cameo really, which is odd, considering Goblet of Fire is the book where Snape's character starts to take shape. Quite amusing to hear Mark's thoughts on Rupert Grint, as he's certainly been the least successful of the three leads post Potter. Daniel Radcliffe, on the other hand, seems to be working more than ever.
There's a website, can't remember what its called, but it has a partial podcast archive from like 05ish onwards, google a kermode review from that time period and you should find some more there

shouldn't 4/5 equal 80%?
Funny that Rupert Grint ended up having the smallest acting career of the three

I remember seeing it in cinemas and I’m the same age as Daniel Radcliffe and thought it was darker but interesting movie as a fan it was ok

Where did you find this review? I assumed all of his reviews pre 2005 were lost
