The plot of this film makes absolutely no sense. What do fantastic beasts have to do with Grindelwald and his crimes? Grindelwald literally never encounters a single fantastic beast. They could and perhaps should have just focused more on the aurors, and called the movie "The Crimes of Grindelwald." But I guess, seeing as the Fantastic Beasts film did well in the box office, they didn't want to get rid of Newt just yet. But truth is, his character feels lost here, like he doesn't belong in this film. This should have been a battle between the aurors and Dumbledore versus Grindelwald and his followers.

Speaking of Grindelwalds crimes... yawn. So, he has a couple of is followers kill two adults and a child. Okay. That's boring. Not at all the exciting, legendary villain we were hoping for.

The movie is chock-full of characters we barely get to know but are still supposed to care about and feel sad about when bad things happen to them. You can't just throw a bunch of characters in there, give them famous Harry Potter names like Lestrange and expect us to feel for them. That's not how that works.

Jude Law delivers a fine performance but I wish they'd done more with him.

If you'd ask me to explain the plot to you, I'd be done in like two minutes. Almost nothing happens the entire film. It's just people wandering around Paris and talking to each other. The most interesting part of the film are the ten minutes at the beginning at the last half hour. Everything in between is bland.

This is a disappointment to the Harry Potter franchise. Can we start over, please?
