My Review

As will all of my reviews I will not go into the plot

I was so looking forward to this movie and I was so disappointed in the first half of this movie. The beginning of this movie was so jumpy and confused I almost fell asleep. The exposition went on so long and there were a number of things that did not need to be given as much exposition as it did.

However, once we got into the second half of the movie it was the film that I wanted to see. The makers of this film said it would be like an Empire Strikes Back type of film, and if the film was edited better it had a chance to try and reach that level.

As it is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald was a film that could have been.

I still want to see the next one though.

Rating - C
