Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) by Wael — 04 Dec 2018

While remaining undeniably enjoyable, "The Crimes of Grindelwald" has some flaws to it, the major one being is that it keeps building up on and on for a climax it doesn't end up reaching, quite frankly.

The acting is very well done, but the visual effects are a little overwhelming here and there. Another thing that annoyed me while watching is that the script paints the magic and the spells to be way more elaborate and way more advanced than the magic depicted in the Harry Potter series, which is supposed to take place around 60 years later.

However, the film still does encapsulate that JK Rowling magical feeling, and it's undoubtedly a step forward in the franchise.
