Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) by Thedaywalker — 17 Nov 2018

Being a HUGE fan of the Harry Potter series (including the first Fantastic Beasts) I got out of the theater truly disappointed.

This isn't a terrible film by any means, but it's the first time I was completely bored watching a Harry Potter movie.

The performances are great, Jude Law as Dumbledore was amazing, it's really a shame we didn't get a lot of him, Redmayne as Scamander again blew it out of the park, Johnny Depp's performance was good, but unfortunately because of all the useless subplots, and useless characters that were added, the character of Grindelwald didn't have the attention it needed, I mean the name of the movie is "Crimes of Grindelwald" and he really doesn't do much. All the romance added just help make the movie even more boring. J.K. Rowling missed the mark on the script on this one.

The movie is visually stunning, the score is amazing, the first scene with Grindelwald escaping prison is awesome, and the twist in the end was actually really good and quite shocking.
