Fantastic Beast: The Crimes of Grindlewald has fantastic in the title for a reason


Anyone that's been keeping up with JK Rowling's Wizarding World has known that Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has been out in theater since November 16th. This movie has received some negative criticism from even the most devout Harry Potter fans. Negative criticism of this movie from some fans that have been following Harry Potter World since the book first came out over 20 years ago might put some people off from watching the movie. I wouldn't recommend doing that for some of the following reasons. JK Rowling's Harry Potter series has been going on since 1997. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions of course but most Harry Potter fans have had the opportunity of figuring out whether or not they liked Harry Potter for themselves. And even if they didn't like the second movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a five-part series written by JK Rowling herself if you didn't like this one then you might be bound to like the other ones.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is following the events of the previous movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them a year later after Gellert Grindelwald was arrested. Grindelwald evades and escapes and heads to Paris in search of something. Not much can be said for what his purpose is in Paris, but he does run into the beast-loving Newt Scamander who poses as a threat to his entire plan. Now, some famous faces have made an appearance in the movie such as Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore and of course Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald.

I have a very positive opinion of this movie. It was compelling and funny and it mentioned characters that you would know if you had watched or read the first movie or book. I also love the previous one Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which was charming and its own right but this one has a bit more action than the previous one. I've watched this movie twice already in the theaters. first time I was left a little confused but second time everything made sense. By no means am I saying that you have to see the movie twice to understand it, but things got a bit confusing towards the end and might need some clarification. However, since this is a five-part series by JK Rowling the ending was a cliffhanger so I can't say it was particularly satisfying but in that sense, it doesn't really need to be.

If anyone is still confused by the movie but doesn't want to have to go see it twice there is a screen right that JK Rowling has written that you can buy off of Amazon for $11.45. I have never read one Harry Potter novel in my entire life. I have watched the movie series twice on a two-time Harry Potter marathon although my knowledge on how Harry Potter novels are supposed to look like is limited, to say the least. However, I definitely recommend despite what other reviews are saying, that you go to see the movie before it's out of theaters. But before you go just make sure you solemnly swear that you're up to no good.
