Advantages: Pretty good special effects, supporting cast rescue the film with great performances
Disadvantages: Teen actors are rubbish, the dialogue is awful, miss out alot of the book

...novel of the same name, Harry and co are back in this story of magic and the importance of friends and family. In Goblet of Fire Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint - he was in Thunderpants!!! - hint the sarcasm of the three exclamation marks) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are off again to unwittingly cause anarchy at Hogwarts and piss off the staff as well as the undeveloped dark lord, Lord Voldermort. They start off at the Quidditch World ...
...along with the three competitors, Harry is also chosen to compete, causing uproar among the staff and students alike. As Harry battles his way through the challenges and a Prom, he discovers the real reason he's competing in the Tournament, and once again comes face-to-face with Lord Voldermort in a battle of supreme, all-powerful dark lord against some hormonal schoolboy.....??? OK, so somehow they managed to cram 636 pages into 2 and a half hours, ... Read review

Advantages: Great morals
Disadvantages: Somewhat predicatable (but this is of course not a worry for children)

...just like in all the Winnie the Pooh films, and they guarantee at least a smile if not a great laugh. The story line is not too obvious for children. It is nice to see Roo (and a little bit of Piglet) as a focus in this film as he isn't normaly much of starring role in the Pooh films; so it is good for those who have Piglet down as their favourite character :) Extras: A great little hide and seek game to play, backstage feature, recipe Subtitles: ...

Advantages: Like watching a ballet, funny, sweet
Disadvantages: not getting anything from me on this

...inventions and banishes all old robots to the scrap heap by only producing new parts and not repairing old spares. Will Rodney and his friends put a stop to evil Ratchet’s plan? With Robot City be saved? And just what happened to Bigweld anyway and will Rodney convince him to develop his invention through the Bigweld Corporation? You will just have to watch the film to see like the rest of us! ***Who are Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha *** Chris ...
...formed a strong working relationship. Robots is not their first venture together. Carlos actually directed Ice Age and Ice Age Two with Chris as well as the two Scrat shorts. Perhaps this is just the beginning of a new Hollywood pairing. ***How was the script*** The script for Robots was fantastic, but with the same powerhouse behind this as there was for Ice Age and Ice Age Two, it is hardly surprising. Animated films face stiff competition these ... Read review

Advantages: Funny amusing rib-tickler of a familly film (and that means you too!)
Disadvantages: A little formulaic but you can look past that

...then relax and enjoy, because Robots will entertain. Plot Summary The story is set in a Robot world where our hero protagonist Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is dreaming inventor who wants to go to the big city and meet the great inventor Big Weld (the wonderful Mel Brooks) to get new spare parts for his dad. The fly in the ointment in this is supplied by Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who is bent on making all of the old Robots obsolete, ...
...The Incredibles and so on. Robots is also one of these, with a well known cast lending their vocal talents to the story - for me that was a little distracting. However we are missing the principle audience of this movie, which (amongst others) is my 4 years old son, who absolutely adores it. We went to see it in the movies and have rented it twice in a week on DVD (cheaper buying it I hear you cry). He must be wearing a groove in the disc with the ... Read review

The competition is between the three largest European Schools of Wizardry and Witchcraft, Hogwarts, Beauxbaxons the all girls school, Durmstrang. One student is selected to represent ...
...allowed to enter. This means Harry Potter played by Daniel Radcliffe is not allowed to enter the tournament, but some how his name ends up in the cup, even though the cup has been put under magical spells and he has to compete. There is another new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts this year, he is Mad-Eye Mooney, there is also the Yule Ball, with Hermione going with Victor, and Harry takes Cho Chang, while Ron has a dilemma should ...
