The Crimes of Grindelwald (Fantastic Beasts)
Directed By: David Yates
Grade: C+
This is not to say that I don’t like Newt Scamander or think he could be a good hero. It’s simply I think the main flaw, the main problem, with this film was that the story is Albus Dumbledore (Grindelwald too) but it is being lost in the marshes of an overstuffed, over baked film.
I am a huge fan of movie trailers. Sometimes I like them more than the actual movie and I must admit the last Fantastic Beasts trailer finally did the trick of getting me excited about The Crimes of Grindelwald (still a dreadful title.)
There’s a lot to get into and speculate about…
Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Director: David Yates
Grade: B+
All I really need is to hear the old Harry Potter music and you can get me into the theatre. Balanced against the fact that I’m not that big on Eddie Redmayne I was however a little worried about this one.
Redmayne plays Newt Scamander who comes into 1920’s era New York with a suitcase full of fantastic beasts. Unfortunately due to the suitcase not working all that well and a mix-up some of the beasts get released into the city and Newt and friends must find them before they get into trouble.
