Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) by The D — 23 Nov 2018

Let me start this off by saying that I am the biggest Harry Potter fan I know. I've loved the books and adored the films all throughout my life. So, I hope hat shows that I am not just a Harry Potter hater when I say that this film is an aimless mess.

Characters just wander around for the entire run time with with very little happening at all. For a movie called The Crimes of Grindelwald, he surprisingly doesn't do that much. The script is so unbelievably tone deaf that I was legitimately bored in the theater.

All of the performances are very strong especially Johnny Depp as Grindelwald and Jude Law as Dumbledore and the film is very well directed but the script written by J.K. Rowling is very dull and uninspired.

By the time things start to get interesting it ends. This honestly hurts me to say but I would have to give this film a C-.
