_Fey Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 The movie also has a massive budget ($200M). Also just a reminder that WB has not yet greenlit future movies and is reportedly waiting to see how this one does.
Venice B Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Is this even a surprise after that mess that was the previous one? And all the author's problematic views regarding trans lives will not help this either. I kinda hope it bombs tbh
Billionaire Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Wizarding World is gone, DC is gone, Star Wars is lowkey gone, but MCU is still standing
Schami66 Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 I loved the second movie. To me it felt like it dived deeper into the story and I must have missed the point where it turned into a mess. I really enjoyed the third one too and liked Mads more as Grindelwald. The true mess here is JK Rowling (and Ezra). If the series gets scrapped, I hope they release one last movie to wrap it up.

Blood Magic Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 The movie was terrible. I’d be surprised if it gets more than a B as the CinemaScore.
Pop Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 "It feels like a bad parody, a shadow of what a film is, not an actual film itself. The color palette is a dreary mud puddle of grays and browns, and there’s no sense of space or geography. It has no weight, no heft, no texture, no color, no sense of magic or wonder in the least. The story itself has no sense of stakes or resonance, and the actors vary in affect from lifeless to dutiful to pained." - LA Times
Cutthroat Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Am I the only one who absolutely LOVES Harry Potter but has never watched any of these films / has zero interest in doing so?
EtherealCat Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 who thought a $200milliom budget was a good idea after the last one flopped? if there are more then they need to get rid of david yates too

This hybrid isn’t working.

I’ve always hated his color palette. Half-Blood Prince is unwatchable because of this.
Dingdong123 Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 And it’ll be fanbase driven so it won’t have legs to hit 100 million

Having said that these FB movies are beyond creatively bankrupt and the whole franchise is in need of a reboot and fresh direction.

The series could be shelved for a bit a la Star Wars, and then Discovery will take it in a new direction.
CristianGarcia Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 No surprise the last one was a snooze fest

However the 'Wizarding World' franchise will clearly continue in some form. Hogwarts Legacy is coming later this year to outgross every movie with ease.

I mean video games are a totally different thing. I think they need to get the original cast back to move the story forward. These prequels just never turn out well.
