There's a lot of confusion going on about Crimes of Grindelwald and I can see why. It's almost non-confrontational in its approach. This is mostly the mindgames and politics before the actual war starts. A cold war of sorts. This is meant to make you think, focus and feel. It's not an action movie and uses a more subtle approach. One of the best things about this is that they really, Really knew who to cast for each role. For instance Jude Law as Dumbledore seems almost nothing short of Gannon's Dumbledore in looks and ways. The child/teenage actors made to act their adult counterparts actually looked like them. The fantastic beasts play their part, though are not exactly focused on, unlike in the very first Fantastic Beasts film. Johnny Depp was good as Grindelwald, and had and will have more to work with than Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort, which is both great and sad. Great because they invented a complex villain here, and sad because Fiennes' just got the definition of psychopath to work with. The final twists towards the end are great, though the movie could've been more interesting. In what way exactly, I do not know. That's the trouble with it, I believe. It may be one of those films that become more appreciated after a couple of more views

7/10 for now.
