I was not a huge fan of the first Fantastic Beasts, but after seeing the trailer for this one, I was excited but I left pretty disappointed with this, even more than the first. The big issue is that JK Rowling's screenwriting is nowhere near the level of her book writing; she clearly can't balance the amount of story lines and the narrative lacks any sense of build up, so it just feels like we're watching a series of scenes playing out rather than a story that is being told. In addition, the story simply lacks the magic of the Harry Potter movies.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second prequel to the popular Harry Potter series of films and finds the Magizoologist Newt Scamander who, along with some friends and allies, tries to thwart the evil plot for world domination in progress by the charismatic dark mage, Gellert Grindelwald. Many tie-ins to what happens with Hogwarts and its young students abound, along with various strange creatures, chases, and menaces! At times confusing and a bit underwhelming after so many prior films, it nevertheless dutifully fills in some blanks for those fans who want every plot-hole addressed and can't get enough of the magical world J. K. Rowling created.
