12 Movie Moments That Pissed Off Fans The Most In 2016
2. Meet Grindelwald - Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Since we’re unlikely to get a new Harry Potter film anytime soon, fans welcomed spin-off Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them with open arms. The series will eventually introduce a young Dumbledore, and explore his relationship with dark wizard Grindelwald.
The first movie doesn’t really focus on with that and deals with a young wizard named Newt butting heads with Colin Farrell’s villainous Graves. Farrell is clearly having a ball in the role, which is why it’s such a shame the climax reveals he was really Grindelwald in disguise; and that he’s played by mega-ham Johnny Depp.
This moment is dumb for two separate reasons; it gets rid of Farrell and the menace he brought to his character, and replaces him with an actor who’s idea of a great performance is putting on a silly voice. Needless to say, Grindelwald's reveal somewhat spoils the fun, and is a needless plot twist in a story that didn't need it.
