The Harry Potter movies are great but one of the main flaws of the original franchise was the struggle the films had condensing the lengthy novels into movies under three hours. Despite the Fantastic Beasts sequel not being based on a book, it still somehow feels like …
Per Gunnar Jonsson: The first Fantastic Beasts movie was excellent. It was a bright and magical adventure. This one is going down another path and I cannot say that I was overly thrilled by that.
This movie is putting emphasis on political machinations, division between the wizards and the non-wizards, betrayals etc…

trineo03: First of all, just like in the last movie the acting in this film is excellent but with a few exceptions. Eddie Redmayne was still excellent as Newt but I think he did a better job in the first film. Same thing with Dan Fogler who didn’t seem as funny but useless and could have just been written out…
Gimly: I re-watched the original _Fantastic Beasts_ today to prep for _Crimes of Grindelwald_ and it made me realise that the only reason I gave that first film a positive review was because of Queenie Goldstein. She's just **such** a sweetheart. Her character wasn't the **only** thing I liked about that m…
r96sk: Better than its predecessor, even if I still didn't really dig it.
<em>'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'</em> has more of a vibe about it, especially early on, and is marginally better paced. Overall, though, I'm kinda split on how I feel about this second instalment. It is a definite…
Martha: Confused, lost, Johnny Depp always awesome. I think the days of me playing in the Harry Potter world are over.
GenerationofSwine: Well, there was one too many twists here and I only say that because it was unnecessary. The plot would have been cleaner if they just let that one go…and don't worry, you'll know what is being mentioned when you watch it.
It would have worked in a novel, but in a screen play it just made it a …
CinemaSerf: In order to thwart the evil "Grindelwald" (Johnny Depp) from creating his own Arian version of enforcers for the wizardly world, "Dumbledore" (Jude Law) drafts in his talented understudy "Newt" (Eddie Redmayne) to help him out. Unfortunately, their nemesis has recently escaped from high-security cus…
