Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) πππ
My 60th movie at the cinema this year which I went to watch the midnight showing of and I sort of fell asleep π΄! It was totally self inflicted! I remember watching the beginning of the movie and maybe an eye opened here or there about halfway through but, I was wide awake for the last 20 minutes of the movie π. Therefore, I had to go back and re-watch this movie again.
No time is wasted, the movie picks up after the first Fantastic Beasts movie and the action kicks off straightaway π₯. The special effects are great and watching it in IMAX was even better. The last 15 minutes or so is definitely visually impressive! ππ»
You will see new charcters introduced and every character is played very well. Johnny Depp is great as Grindelwald; his dodgy eye freaked me out though π. Eddie Redmayne is brilliant as Newt although, there is a scene where he licks the floor which perhaps, might be taking it too far π€’. And, Jude Law as Dumbledore just brings a smile to your face π.
Everyone loves the Harry Potter series and the Fantastic Beasts series is also good but, I do feel the storyline could possibly be a little difficult for a younger audience to follow. The second instalment definitely has a darker feel to it but, the plotline felt a little weak.
We all know there will be another movie in this series which I hope is epic π€! There is no doubt that if you’re a fan of JK Rowling and of her work, this movie will be one that you go to watch. Just don’t have very high expectations. Go check it out!
3 out of 5 stars. Remember, itβs my opinion!
