The movies tried to take a new approach to the AOT story and in some ways the changes worked, while in other times they didn't. The movies certainly weren't the best I've ever seen, but I don't think it's as bad as some people say it is. The way I look at it, the AOT movies are, on their own, very average movies: they aren't really good, but they're not really bad either. When stacked against the source material, however, the bad parts of the movies become accented so that it's easier for viewers and long-time fans of the series to pick at them and tear the movies down.
