Are these movies worth watching for any reason whatsoever?

Fantastic Beasts is the perfect example of the modern Hollywood movie. It casts the hit Hollywood star of the minute(at the time) and it's loosely connected to a wildly successful franchise. This movie was made for the sole purpose of making money. There is no other reason. Rowling, Yates, the actors, everyone... all in it for the money.
It's easy to imagine the pre-production meetings... You know, that cute tree in Guardians of the Galaxy was really popular among audiences, let's have one of those. And people really liked that dive bar with lots of goofy creatures and fun music in Star Wars, let's have one of those too. It's frustrating when I hear people call this film imaginative. There's a reason all the fantastic beasts look so cute. Because toys.
Yet again we see Eddie Redmayne overact, taking the role of "autistic British wizard" to a level not needed. There was no chemistry between any of the actors, which made for awkward moments throughout the whole 2+ hours runtime. The relationship between Colin Ferrell and Ezra Miller especially seems unintentionally predatory.

There are two completely separate plots that are sloppily connected. One of the plots is pushed so hard and is used only to create a franchise of this thing. If they focused on only the fantastic beasts instead of the bizarre possessed horror aspect with a cheap twist, the film might not have been half bad.

In the end, yet again, almost a whole city gets destroyed in the climax. By now it is beyond tiring and by my count that is how FOUR big budget movies have ended in 2016. And by what, a fucking dark cloud. The whole film, each and every scene, is predictable, features terrible CGI, obvious blue screen, lifeless sound stages, and is riddled with plot holes

tl;dr: NO

Serious answer here. I dislike the Harry Potter franchise, my elderly mother made me watch them with her because she is a fan. When the second of these movies came out she asked me to take her after watching the first one. I didn't hate the first one and she enjoyed it, but even she hated the sequel.

If you like the series, watch the first movie and then give up.

absolutely not. I went to see this with a girl who loves Harry Potter religiously and was so ready to love this movie but even she conceded that it was a truly awful mess

Forgot to mention, the fat guy from Balls of Fury was the best thing in the movies.

The first one is mediocre but adequate, the second one is absolutely terrible

I watched the first one in theaters and the only thing I remember is the jew baker or something
And I usually have a good memory

Not really, its very predictable and i would say you should only give it a try if you are a hardcore fan of HP, which is cringe to begin with. Has some nice visuals

>make a Fantastic Beasts movie series
>expect some adventures of a magical Steve Irwin or something, finding cool creatures and stuff
>get shitty Grindelwald drama instead
If they wanted a film about the war with Grindelwald they should have just called it that, no need to get the Fantastic Beasts title dragged down with it.

They shouldn't have let David Yates direct these. He was so eager to get to grim dark he didnt care for world or character building.

Yates is a studio yes man, he has no creativity of his own. Studios love that.

A movie about some undercover agent sent by dumbledore to infiltrate grindelwalds ranks could have been way more interesting. Like a magical interwar period spy flick where you're never certain of anything because people can be mind-controlled or change their looks in ten different ways. Why send some dude who loves animals to deal with Grindelwald? Shit makes no sense.

He was given the movies for the same reason why all the marvel movies feel the same despite having directors of all kinds
Look at his wiki too, after the last potter flick he went straight back to television directing because that's all hes good at
Like Bay(agreeing to transformers 3 & 4 to get pain and gain made) he had to agree to making these movies so he could get his "passion project"(tarzan) funded. So theres also a good chance he also just doesn't care + all the other shit director stuff

For Ezra Miller. The fat Jewish guy who plays the comedy "muggle" is quite charming too. I fucking hate the word muggle, it's so stupid.

Zoe Kravitz and the whole boring nig story ruined it totally, I don't give a fuck about black people and Rowling only includes them for brownie points.

Faggot.

I thought the creatures were boring as fuck, and the wackiness with that big horney rhino thing was cringe. They couldn't pay me enough to do what Redmayne did.

Ezra miller is terrible in this. the fat muggle is the best thing about it followed (not closely at all) by Scamander and Porpentina

I'm a woman you dense fuck. Fags don't like Ezra they like manly men and young boys. He's 10/10, and the Jewish fatty sidekick is cute.

>Why send some dude who loves animals to deal with Grindelwald? Shit makes no sense
Because they wanted to make a Grindlewald movie but hadn't properly set up a shared universe, they couldn't call it a Harry Potter movie so they had to awkwardly insert him into the plot to tell the story they wanted.

Ezra is perfect. Scamander is overacted and Porpentina is just dull.

I literally only care about interesting magical beasts and theyre barely a fucking part of the movies. Not a central point whatsoever. Instead its like a retarded drama except instead of guns they use wands. They don't even say spells anymore, just point and zap to instantkill anyone. Incredibly boring and unimaginative. The fact I saw this in theatres makes me burn with anger at my own fucking idiocy for expecting any different.

>I'm a woman you dense fuck

Sure you are.

>A Kelpie is a shapeshifting water demon native to Britain and Ireland. Able to take any form, they usually take the form of a horse with a bullrush mane. After luring unwary travellers onto their backs, they drag them underwater and eat them, allowing the entrails to float to the surface of the water.

So like let's make him ride it like a horsie LOL

If you say it, it must be true

First one was ok and comfy, second one was a mess. The girl that played queenie was pretty cute too

Well yeah, he's a wizard. A wizard who's an expert in magical creatures at that. Not some muggle traveller who thinks he's spotted a horse and then gets taken on an underwater ride where he drowns.

It's like complaining about seeing Steve Irwin ride killing machines native to Australia, who drag travellers underwater and eat them if they're unwary when approaching their billabong.

first one is not bad, but Crimes of Grindewald is an abomination with Santa Barbara level script and tons of lore contradictions that even a person who only seen movies, and only seen each one time would pick up

you only like it because of the Credence/Graves fujobait

Gays are like 1% of the population, women are about half. Gosh what are the chances it's a man who likes Ezra's cheekbones and not an ordinary woman?

But it's not an animal, it's man-eating magical demon. They completely made it unintimidating.

>Fujo
Don't speak to me, weeb. Ezra is hot, nothing else matters to me.

You're the one that has that file saved...

>he doesn't have an Ezra folder

I just can't fathom anyone thinking that fag is attractive, let alone hot, except only a faggot the same level as disgusting as he is.

>Ezra is hot, nothing else matters to me.
Yeah no one except an obnoxious fudge-packer would say shit like this.

And crocs are man-eating non-magical demons. Irwin made them look completely unintimidating when he patted them and had his kid in there with him. But if you or I went near one in the wild we'd be a quick meal.

Haha DuBmBfflEdoRee iS gAY! :DD

"No!"

giga-cope

I thought it was an intentional predatory relationship and I thought that was the best part of the movie. I really wish that it stayed as Colin Ferrell because I liked how he acted in it a lot, and as soon as it was revealed that it was Johnny Depp and the villain is Grindelwald, I audibly groaned.

Get fucked. I've always fancied men with good cheekbones and who wear eyeliner and have good hair. You can't fathom anyone liking him because you have never spoken to a woman before now. You sound like a jealous paki.
