Ok, I went to see it so I looked at your comments. Hmmmm...
My fave moment: Hermione pumping her fist when Harry flew over the stadium in Task 1. Saddest: Cedric and the crowd shots after HP brought him back.
Your's: Moaning Myrtle was bit Mae West for my taste. Liked Hermione on the stairs after the ball. Rupert was, well, Rupert. Needs to go try something else and come back with a slightly different tude. Liked HP in this one. Liked that the Twins and Neville were more prominent. Disliked the tongue thing that gave away Moody too early. The 3 tasks were cool. Especially that they let the Horntail loose.
A few things: DD was suspicious of Moody by the look he gave him as HP went into the maze and I wondered what the purpose of leaving Barty with Snape was as well? Did they discuss 'their' boss? LOL And I loved the look Harry gave Snape when Snape found out that Moody had been the one to get the polyjuice ingredients. Didn't Ray Fiennes become more human? Not just at the beginning of the scene, but everytime the camera went back to his face he looked more like the actor. By the end it was if he had very little makeup on at all. Like he was transforming all through it.
Actually, thought about your post (in general - in the back of my head - even though I hadn't read the review) for about the first 10 minutes of the film as I found myself picking up non-canon stuff or omissions. Nice that they actually played the World Cup eh? Nice that the MoM couldn't stop ~6 DE's from decimating the camp...huh? But then, I just went with it and the only really noticable thing (Wasn't caring much about the Pink Dress ;)) was the horntail flying. Lot's of non-canon, lot's of not completing plot points, putting in uneccessary stuff (what was the scene where Hermione says, "Dean told Seamus, Seamus told...? How many times do we have to see that HP and Ron are mad at each other? We got it when Ron told HP to piss off). I know people would be flipped off either way, but why even have the World Cup that way if you have to make the film that approximate time length? Just have them explain it in a converstion on the train and use the time to have longer scenes later that explain more.
Overall: B+ (Can't remember one note of the music and left the theater humming John Williams' music from the previous movies, and, of course, never enough Hermione!!! LOL)
