Yeah, I went ahead and finally read the books so my daughter and I could talk about them.

I didn't hate them (the first 2 were pretty juvenile and man the last one was just BAD. Mediocre writing and just awful storytelling; really a poor effort by Rawling).

But while the books are plenty tolerable, those movies are BAD. Just the way they're shot is awful. They tray to create this sort of faux ominous feel through weird color palates and camera movements.

Those are one of the few movies I've ever hated not for WHAT they showed but HOW they showed it. Make those movies without trying to use shooting technique to cheat your way to some sort of foreboding quirkyness (which basically exists in the story anyway) and they might be pretty decent.

But those movies are baaaaaaaaaad.
