The Acclaim: The first entry into the Harry Potter spin-off franchise wowed critics, who loved its visual style, period detail, charming cast and overall world-building.

Why Everyone Will Hate It: Set aside your general desire for more from the Potterverse and Fantastic Beasts is the worst kind of blockbuster: a woefully boring, soulless outing that arrogantly staked its claim for a new franchise consisting of five (!) movies before it even hit cinemas.

The visual effects are bland, 1920s New York is dull to look at, Eddie Redmayne's protagonist is more irritating than charming, and Colin Farrell turns into Johnny Depp at the end for no reason at all.

And if none of this makes you hate the movie, you're going to "have" to sit through another four of these films Christ.
