Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Holy crap they crammed a lot of stuff into this movie. I had a headache after watching it trying to keep up with everything. The special effects were great. The casting was still great. The story moved along well and had lots of twists and turns but I definitely think that they tried to do too much. They should have held back a little because it was definitely difficult to process all of the info that you were being given.
I would still recommend that fans of the franchise obviously check this out still. It is a very good watch and I think I actually liked it more than the first but they definitely put too much info into it and made the movie too convoluted overall.
