That is always arguable.
Ignoring the viewer's opinion of the quality of the film, I've seen nothing but widespread criticism on the twist and certain established facts it chooses to ignore.

Yeah that's fair.I think if they had gone straight "Fantastic Beasts", it would have been fine. The problem is they folded in Wizarding Wars and enslaving humans.
Making a series about cute magical creatures and adventure would have been a winner.

But like Last Jedi, the criticisms are as if these are standalone films and not part of a much larger story being told. The twist was crap but obviously there's more to the story. Supposedly, 3 more films worth.
Last Jedi was 50/50, though. Not saying everyone hates it, but it’s not an apt comparison.
Also, even though films are connected, each film should still be able to standalone, yet connect to the bigger story. This film does not. If you like it, you like it; but fort the most part, fans and non-fans are seemingly not on board with this film.
I wasn't talking about everyone. I was talking about the "fans" who seem to be the most vocal about the problems with Grindelwald, the same way the fans were extremely vocal with their distaste for Last Jedi. Meanwhile, Last Jedi was sitting at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and I think Grindelwald is in the 40s so again... the actual quality of the film is irrelevant when the "fans" are the ones with the problem.
Potter fans have been spoiled so far. They've never had their "Star Wars Holiday Special" or prequels.
Now they do. This is their Phantom Menace.
Award winning play big time. How can you do that comparison?Cursed Child?

Because it's trash - it got a lot of praise and awards because it had great production value and some really cool technical direction and effects. But the plot was pretty bad if you expected it to be anything like the Potter stories we knew and loved.

Rowling writes like she's writing a novel instead of a screenplay. She tries to fit in too many characters and subplots and tries to give them all the same amount of character development. In a book, that's totally acceptable and much easier to do. In a film though, she needs to pick and choose.
That's the fans saying it's trash, though. I'm reading it was received mostly positive everywhere else.
However, I have not seen the play so I cannot speak from experience.

The Last Jedi. At least the prequels gave me a modicum of joy.
The last Jedi was a pretty good movie in a vacuum. It just didn't fit for a bunch of fans who decided already what the movie was supposed to be.
