This film suffered in two ways. One, there was too much Grindelwald and not enough of the Fantastical Beasts of the title. Two, no matter how hard Johnny Depp tries to imitate Rutger Hauer's facial expressions, Depp can never be Hauer. That is because Hauer is one of the most handsome actors alive. Depp is quite good looking himself, but every time he tried to give us Roy from "Blade Runner" I found myself missing Roy from "Blade Runner." What would be a supercilious sneer from some other man looks charming when Hauer does it.. And we are supposed to believe that Jude Law as a scruffy Dumbledore...

No spoilers. I liked everything but Johnny Depp. He is a good actor. I wish he would stop trying to give us his versions of other actors and start giving us characters that he creates himself.
