Popular Post scallenger 483 Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2022 I have always been a huge Harry Potter fan... really enjoyed the first Beasts film... thought the second one was a weird mess that actually wasn't as bad upon a recent rewatch... ... but Secrets Of Dumbledore was honestly my least favorite. And I didn't even have high expectations. A lot of what was going on didn't make sense or was poorly explained (and I have read the books, if that helps show how much I know about Wizarding World stuff). So many elements of the plot were sloppy, things that people didn't like from the second film are often wrapped up now in ways that feel rushed compared to how they were clearly intended to be more drawn out and a bigger deal. Basically it's kind of a lot of the same reasons why I hated Rise Of Skywalker. These kind of "course correction" movies don't work, honestly. At least not for me. And having Hogwarts blasted all over the posters, trailers, etc... was such a bait. THANKFULLY this film doesn't queer bait, imo (and I am a gay person saying this). But now we were HOGWARTS BAITED lol. It was entirely pointless. So much of this film may make sense on a surface level, but if you think beyond what they are telling you it falls apart so fast. Like all of the election stuff. Just a convoluted pointless mess. But honestly... I think what killed this movie the most for me was that it was boring. Just incredibly boring. Even moreso than the last one. I am just not invested in this story anymore. I WILL say it had a couple of good scenes I liked. The stuff in the prison rescue was fun and good (although again entirely pointless and just doesn't make sense in the grand scheme of things), and the scene of Dumbledore explaining the past with Ariana is straight from Deathly Hallows that was nice to finally get a movie-verse explanation. But even that... I kind of didn't care about since I already knew it from the book. Especially since we still don't SEE it, just have it talked about. I think I would have been more excited over a decade ago, honestly. I wouldn't care if they stopped making Beasts films now. Especially since they ended it in that strange semi-wrapped up way with Tina suddenly showing up. Like why the hell was she absent? I really would have preferred a Beasts series that was a sort of Indiana Jones-like adventure of Newt going around the world, running into beasts and strange/good/bad wizards and etc. I actually thought that WAS the original idea sort of proposed, wasn't it? And the first film seemed to deliver on that a bit. But no... instead we are having weird boring political thrillers and a confrontation being set up that we already know the outcome of. I just can't believe they've made Potter boring. And actually, while most people are still blaming Rowling for this half-cooked story, I think they ALSO need to finally change directors. Bring in someone FRESH that will make the films feel more alive again. Otherwise, if there is another film in this series with the same story, writers, and filmmakers... I may just wait for HBOMAX. mrbellamy, crumbs, HunterTech and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,348 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Yeah, yesterday I heard on Mugglecast that Aurelius means golden one and that the original plan might have been for Flamel and Dumbledore to have made him through alchemy.

crumbs 14,316 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Ezra's career is terminal. Can't see many studios working with them now, especially for any tentpoles. Quote Less than four weeks after being arrested for disorderly conduct at a bar in Hawaii, actor Ezra Miller has been arrested again in the same U.S. state – this time for second-degree assault. According to Indiewire, authorities responded to reports of an assault in Pahoa, Hawaii at a private residence. Miller reportedly became irate after being asked to leave and allegedly threw a chair, which struck a 26-year-old woman in the forehead resulting in an approximately half-inch-sized cut. Yet another recasting for this series, if a 4th film even sees the light of day? WB execs must be tearing their hair out over The Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterTech 994 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Except given the general reaction to FB3's score, even that would seem like a waste of resources if JNH is only going to be allowed to repurpose stuff from the previous scores with little new thrown in.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 If they kept going and made Movie 4 out of 5, at this point I'd even be kind of indifferent to a JNH score. I like 2 and 3 fine but it's not really shaping up to be the essential musical saga I hoped for after his first one really rocked the house. If they changed it to 4 out of 4 instead, then I'd dare to get my hopes up because then he'd theoretically have something to work with. I feel like that's the only move here aside from dumping it altogether, because at this point the momentum is just not there to sustain my interest in a penultimate Fantastic Beasts movie. Whereas you could MAYBE get me marginally interested in a finale. But I feel like it'd end up a bit desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The problem with the third movie, which is enjoyable, is that they changed it from the original screenplay and fast tracked so many storylines so that they’re in a weird place now if they want to make 5 movies as planned.

Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Agreed, @bollemanneke. I watched the second one, recently (sorry, but I can't be arsed to Google its title). It seemed like Yates was trying too hard to impress, which he really doesn't need to. He has made four of the most successful HP films, and got good notices for doing so. The real issue is with the writing: it's shite. Points 2 and 3 are very valid. She should never be allowed anywhere near an original screenplay.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I think Yates is all over the place. HP5 was a real bummer after 4 for me. 6 is okay as a movie, but insanely inadequate as an adaptation. 7 is intense and quite good. 8 is too short and anti-climactic in a way. All of them are plagued by stupid spotting decisions too that ruin them even more for me. FB1 is great. 2 is a drag. 3 tries, but sadly fails.

We were presenting some clips of FB1. We’d all signed up for FB1, very enthusiastically. And Jo, bless her, came on … and said, ‘Oh, by the way, there’s five of them.’ We all looked at each other — because no one had told us there were going to be five. We’d committed to this one. So that was the first we’d heard of it.” Lmao bollemanneke, Edmilson and Bofur01 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
