Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) by Irisen — 06 Dec 2018

Crimes of Grindelwald is a disappointment of a movie. I can't say it's bad because it's redeemed by some of its aspects, like its visuals (the Archives scenes is very entertaining to watch) and the sheer nostalgia factor (If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about) but it still remains disappointing. The plot is boring, the characters are either butchered in their development or incredibly flat. The stories are convoluted, it's as if JK tried to cram in as much story elements and new characters as she could and the end result is a bloated, confused mess. The only reason I'm not giving this a worse rating is the aspects I've mentionned before and Jude Law's Dumbledore, who's pretty hot (ngl), and I'm weak for that kind of stuff.

The last plot twist gave me the urge to throw myself in the nearest river. I never want to see that movie again but I still remain hopeful for the sequel, and I really hope that JKR can get better at writing for movies.
