Better than the first. Depp does an outstanding job as Grindelwald. Jude Law is also an excellent choice as a younger Dumbledore. One thing I hope they alter is the amount of films and trim it down. The problem this series has is its main character is nothing special. He is so weird and aloof only someone like fly could really understand. I do not hate the character I just do not care about him one way or the other.
J. K. Rowling needs to quit being so hands on you can tell a lot of the issues with this film is probably due to her being solely responsible for the screenplay.
Originally posted by ares834It is a solid entry and an improvement over the last one. I doubt the series will ever come close to Potter greatness but no one really expects it too. Harry Potter the series utterly decimates the Ot Star Wars trilogy on every conceivable level.
Heard about the film's twist. Sounds absolutely awful.
Better story, better characters, superior villain, better special effects, and far deeper on an emotional level since we literally see the kids grow up on screen.
So overall, good action, thrilling, good acting (especially Johnny Depp), good characters, some interesting shit, but the plot is kinda jumbled up and confusing.
Spoiler:
Part of me has been viscerally satisfied in a way I did not know I needed, by Johnny Depp hitting a magical future vision hookah as a wizard
I heard that the thing it LACKED the Most was that for a movie called "Fantastic Beasts" it didn't have that many FANTASTIC BEASTS in it.
eh. this can wait for it to show up on TBS and I am bored enough to actually turn my TV on...and can't find anything else to not pay much attention to while doing something else..like washing the dishes.
Young Dumbledore and Grindelwald were great. This film has actually got me more into the franchise.
That said I still feel this one was slow and the last one (which I just caught up on a few weeks ago) was more entertaining. So I dont think this will have the box office legs the last one had and is already off to a lower start. Hope that doesnt put the rest of the series in jeopardy as im more into this now than I ever was during the HP series.

Better than the first one by far. Depp steals the show but still an inferior villain to the true dark lord.

Lmao thats too funny coming from you.
HP series were fine. Im having way more fun with FB though.
Im not like you jumping aboard regardless of quality or enjoyment just because your corporate king bought the franchise. Or because I think its making more money Lmao (FB films are making a lot less).

Money has nothing to do with it. It is quality and I fell in love with Voldemort years back. He is the most selfish evil bastard on the silver screen. Rejected his humanity which is awesome. Far superior villain to Sidious or Vader.

Says the guy who got into the newer Star Wars films and the Star Trek movies while bashing all the originals, then spends his time arguing that he's the most hardcore fan of both series.
Face it tiger, Darth Thor will never be that insecure.
Originally posted by BentleyI never once claimed to be a diehard then. I said I am a bigger fan of the newer stuff. Most trash Star Wars left and right and want it to fail. That is a salty, toxic fan. Most Star Trek fans despise the newer stuff. I love it by far over anyone here. I made Khan and Snoke kmc famous.

The dude gets bossed around from his wife. She will not even let him post on the weekends. You would have to search for a more spineless guy but there are a few here that could give him a run for his money.
I get it that you get triggered, Frenchman. What is silly is you get involved when your country is so historically pathetic. Just stfu and take it.

Dude dont be jealous. No woman wants to spend her life with you. You need to sort out your personality for that.
