It definitely had some interesting aspects, especially that with the conflict between the Ministry, Grindelwald, Newt, and Queenie, but it lost focus on that conflict and didn't develop it enough to be coherent; the film more or less felt like the writers had writer's block and tried to fill space until they come up with an idea.
