This movie feels like a small upgrade from its predecessor, adds star power, introduces key characters and lays the foundation for a "Wizarding World" franchise. But it is far from a perfect adventure. Thanks to all those special effects that they fill the screen with a series of eye-catching spectacles, the characters and the plot are not so confusing. Rowling and director David Yates, along with their likable cast, make the ride an enjoyable one, even when you're feeling overwhelmed with new information. Despite being light in the story department, "The Crimes of Grindelwald" offers plenty of small pleasures and the fans of Harry Potter I think will find it interesting enough. Now, there are of course three more movies of these and I truly don't know how it will work. nikisreviews.gr
