Here is a link to Rex Reeds Review of GoF. To say the least, it is a
scathing review. His opinion is so extreme one wonders if he actually
saw the movie. It is worth reading though because his review is so
absurdly extreme as to be almost comical.

A mild sample-

"As Harry turns 14, 16-year-old Daniel Radcliffe is pushing the
envelope. With hairy legs, a bulge in his pants, an Adam's apple and
some odd makeup that proves even wizards get acne, the evidence
indicates that as Harry and his pals start a new year at Hogwarts,
they have become hormonally challenged before their time."

"It is also so pretentious, convoluted and confusing that grown men
were standing around in groups after it ended, asking, "Did you
understand it?" and, more bluntly, "What the f—  was that?" Worst of
all, this movie is so violent, you'd have to be a sadist to send
children ..."

Just passing it alone.
