Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) by Ilario C — 11 Dec 2018

This movie definitely had a lot going on, but at no point did I really feel lost. one of the main complaints that I saw was "too much going on" and "hard to keep up with", but since I knew exactly what the characters were doing I always knew what plots of kind of follow.

This movie also gave me exactly what I wanted from the last one less Fantastic Beasts and more history and background on these characters. Granted it didn't have a lot of action; I've always cared more about the politics and these kinds of worlds which is why I am a fan of the prequels from the Star Wars movies.

In my opinion When you're building a world you need to know the ins and out not just from from the characters your following but from the world around them, which is what the Harry Potter's books do so well and you don't get to see that as much in the movies.

so having a movie more devoted to this kind of World building is what I want and what I love. There is one thing that I think could have made this movie better is if they're laid some of the seeds in the previous one, because that's exactly what they're doing with this movie.

it's just setting up the next one in all the right ways and I look forward to it.
