there's a lot of cool effects and tricks in that trailer but i have very little faith that it will result in a good movie

I only made it about 30 minutes into the first one but they should have just kept Colin Ferrell around. I know he's best at playing a lunkhead or a wimp but I'd take his magic Hitler over whatever the gently caress Johnny Depp is going to do any day of the week.

WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?
Wizard Fascist Colin Farrell was the best part of the first one. Throwing his role away in favour of Johnny Depp ruined any interest I may have had.

Beat his wife.

Edit: Of course there are other reasons - just this year he was sued for showing up to work drunk and high and punching a crew member - but that's the one that I think looms large in most people's minds.

He’s barely in the first Fantastic Beasts.

She gets less and less cool with every HP-related news about her. (She's cool as gently caress when she dunks on Trump tho).

Well, that's on her. :shrug:

It's very odd, though, that the most passionate Depp apologists I've come across tend to be women. I don't really get it. Usually when these guys have really hardcore defenders they're MRA creeps who bleat about how all the victims are liars, aren't they?

My own mother isn't an apologist for him in the sense that she'll say "Johnny Depp did nothing wrong and Amber Heard is making it up" but she's fully aware of what he's accused of and knows all about him being drunk and high and violent and she still thinks he's awesome and says he's her favourite actor.

As far as I know, Depp and Heard are cool now, and if JK Rowling is okay with it along with the cast, then yeah, I don't see a problem here.

Call me old school, but I believe in forgiveness, and holding grudges just leads to despair.

Looks trite. Like every line is a straight up cliche. Why would anyone want to see this? Comfort in the familiar and expected?

I'd also love to have sat in on the meeting to discuss whether or not to hit a huge trailer note on dmx saying 'my balls'

All Rocky movies after the first one are about comfort in the familiar and expected.

Rocky gets knocked down, returns stronger than ever and triumphs. Now it's about Apollo's son, but it's the same.

That's not a bad thing.

I hope they do something interesting with the character, like have him deeply regret depriving Adonis Creed of a father growing up.

What a bummer that so many great actors are slumming it in this series of diminishing returns. That straight-up looks like a TV show.

She doesn't have Khaleesi's strong eyebrow game to at least make her terrible acting amusing to watch.

Both movies were written by the same person. I think Simon Kinberg did not like how The Last Stand turned out, and this is his attempt at making the movie he wants.

They should have looked for a voice impersonator to dub over the dialogue as well because the illusion shatters the instant that dude opens his mouth
