He was really good in those movies too, that's a pretty substantial loss.

Instead he will star in the bio-pic, Who Pooped the Bed.

Wasn't the 2nd one pretty bad, I haven't even bothered watching it yet.

Not worse than the first one.

I didn't care for either tbh. To me the "dark" angle on Harry Potter completely misses the point of Harry Potter (and that includes some of the original series).

Yeah, both Fantastic movies were pretty mediocre clichés to watch. The later part of the series of HP is about how to deal with death, it was written when JK was going through depression. Its kind of an under the radar dark series lol. Maybe the movies took it too far with the edge, being "dark" is absolutely in line with the series though.

Grown man spends years trying to kill a child. Grown man has soul split up 7 times. A teacher torturing students. A student trying to date rape another student. Guardians abusing a foster child. Actually a lot of adults trying to kill kids when you think about it. Its some heavy stuff when you strip away the magic elements.

Nothing wrong with dark elements. The latter part of the series just lost the balance. Part of what makes the early HP novels/movies so spellbinding is the sense of joy contrasted with terror... the joy becomes really scarce midway through the narrative and is almost gone by the end. It’s just a really gloomy experience for the last couple of installments, and that’s before we get to Fantastic which only takes a couple of scenes off from being downright grim.

Johnny Depp seems like a huge loser.

 

[S E P H]

Got a hell of an actor to replace him.

Mads Mikkelsen confirmed as Johnny Depp's replacement in Fantastic Beasts 3

 

[Langdon Alger]

Misread the title

What happened to this thread?

Johnny Depp seems like a huge loser.

Based on what?

Details of Depp's contract has been out for awhile--turns out in agreeing to "leave" the movie, Depp still gets his 16 mill paycheck and a % of the gross

Yet Amber Heard is still in the garbage The Stand remake

Yet Amber Heard is still in the garbage The Stand remake

Amen, double standard is shocking as she has behaved just as bad, or worse.
