Fantasy is a genre where pretty much anything goes.
At first, it might seem like a hard thing to get wrong since anything goes.
Indeed, sometimes, it does go very, very wrong.

The world of cinema often produces bad movies and, in turn, bad fantasy movies.
Many fans were disappointed at the adaptation ofJ.
But hey, maybe they saved the best for last, right?

The Battle of the Five Armiesdid do some things right.
For one, the battle in the novel is extremely lame.
So the movie did do the right thing by actually showing the battle.
It does set the tone for the rest of the film, though.
All in all,there could have been promise for this one, butit didn’t really deliver.
It’s more faithful and tells the complete story, unlike the movie.

The keyword here is “attempt.”
It hurts even more knowing it was directed byChris Columbus.
Unfortunately, this movie was not approved by fans, yet it made millions at the box office.
It did produce a sequel, but any plans for a franchise were scrapped due to its lackluster quality.
All of that sounds great, right?
To be fair, the book wasn’t spectacular, but it still presenteda unique and memorable story.

The movie, however, not so much.
The movie was chock-full of overused cliches and lacked everything that made the original novel so popular.
The movie version ofInkheartwas quicklyswept under the rug and forgotten about.
This first movie,Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, was absolutely nothing special.
It was afun little urban fantasythat wasn’t bad but was nothing groundbreaking.
Nothing could have prepared fans for the serious dip in quality of its sequel, though.

Not even the performances of its veteran actors could salvage the awkwardness of the script.
Yes, it’s a good movie if one were to only look at the surface of it.
Overall,Warcrafthas its niche of fans, but for everyone else,it’s kind of a slog.
But a movie about Egyptian gods?
Now that’s something new and exciting.
Or at least of Egyptian or North African descent.

Visually,the movie is garish.
The CGI is far from impressive, and there’s way too much of it.
Well, there was just one problem:M. Night Shyamalan.
As for the movie, though, it could have been fun, but it wasn’t.
It wasterrible from beginning to endand isarguably one of the worst movies ever made.
