Fantasy, Adventure
Gellert Grindelwald has escaped imprisonment and has begun gathering followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings. The only one capable of putting a stop to him is the wizard he once called his closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore will need to seek help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

"The Crimes of Grindelwald" is a beautiful film and introduces very dark themes, however it isn't as well-constructed in narrative terms as we might like.

2 hours of my life I will never get back. To be fair, this film did have some good moments, but on the whole it was an utter snooze fest. Another case of too much CGI, and not enough story. For the life of me, I can't work out why Johnny Depp has suddenly started dressing like Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols. I was really looking forward to this film, because I usually love all the Harry Potter films, and the first Fantastic Beats. So what went wrong here, I do not know. I hope the next one will be better. (I must warn you that my negative point of view of the film wasn't helped by the fact that someone in the cinema stunk of poo and I could hardly breathe throughout the whole film, which made a boring and long film seem even longer. Therefore, it might be slightly better than I give it credit. But even so, I still didn't enjoy it.)

So finally JK Rowling acknowledged her biggest flaw writing-wise the black and white morality. Not all Slytherins are evil or wish to harm others. Also, Grindelwald makes Voldemort look like amateur hour. Really great movie and extremely dark, not quite Infinity War dark, but certainly up there. So many Harry Potter references and you further see the more adult side of the world. [spoiler]I enjoyed it and even think it addressed what people worried about, that Dumbledore did have more than friendship with Grindelwald and also the scenes are subtle which is less insulting. I loved it and actually prefer to it the other movie because I love the HP World, but dislike the Harry Potter books, so love when you see the world outside of Hogwarts.[/spoiler]

What do you call a movie in which fantastic beasts have 15 minutes of screentime, and a character named Grindelwald commits 1 or 2 crimes? Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald? Yeah, I think not.

Pros:
- JK’s imagination
- Incredibly well directed with great performances
- Newt (gets More

**Initial Reaction**

**The Good**
• The sets and world design are hands down some of the best the series has to offer. Really above and beyond on how they could expand the amazing lore.
• Music is also good. Mixing with the old theme still carries on here from the previous film, and it work More

[3.8/10] When watching the later Harry Potter films, I often thought to myself “Someone who hadn’t read the books first would be completely lost.” Important plot details, the depths of certain characters, even vital bits of lore were either compressed or entirely omitted for the adaptation to More

Very, very disappointed. I'm a huge fan of the world that J.K. created, but this film falls seriously flat. The plot was convoluted, there were times that something occured and I wasn't sure where on Earth it was occurring. At times Jacob would just sort of appear on screen and you're left wondering More
