Les Animaux fantastiques : Les Crimes de Grindelwald

The movie was entertaining and visually stunning. It was nice to see Newt and co. again, however the two standout performances were from Johnny Depp and Jude Law as Grindelwald and Dumbledore. Well rounded in well played. The special effects were very captivating. 7/10 because the movie gave me what I came for, I was entertained for two hours but I was not blown away.

Almost impossible to keep up with what was going on! Just jumped from one thing to the next with no development, such a shame

Watching this gives you the sense that nobody really knew where to go after the first film ended... and it shows. Beautiful film with a great cast, but an ultimately pointless story that sort of flops around like a dead fish not quite aware yet that its dead. This film is disappointing and forgettable.

The special effects were great as was the scenery, however the movie was disjointed and did not flow. It seemed to jump from one special effect to the next and following the plot was tedious to the point of total boredom.

Although a lot was promised in the trailers, it falls short of those promises in the movie. Having said that, this movie is much like Deathly Hallows Part 1 in the sense that it does not stand out when watched in isolation but understandable in the greater scheme of things, as it sets up the future movies perfectly without offering much on its own. The acting did a good job although the script doesn't allow for anyone to standout apart from Johnny Depp, who seems to make audiences aware of the fact that he's Johnny Depp every once in a while. Overall, I feel this movie will be better received when its sequels come out, but mediocre as it stands.
