fantastic beasts and where to find them by newt scamander

Do agree with those who have described 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' as over-stuffed. Will get the not so good things out of the way. Can totally see where critics are coming from while also seeing what those who liked it saw in it.

It wasn't for me vastly inferior and the drop in quality was not large, although visually this film looked better and preferred the cast here too the previous film had more focus and cohesion and the creatures were used better. Yet, compared to some sequels that have earned that distinction by me, it is an example of a follow-up that fell short of being better. 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' is a sequel that is bigger in spectacle, darker in content and bolder in its basic story. My thoughts after watching 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' were mostly positive though with a few fairly serious misgivings. Although the critical reception was mixed, the high hopes were not shattered because word of mouth from friends, whose opinions this reviewer always trusts, was positive and am someone aiming to see all the film for franchise completest sake. It became one of my most anticipated films of the year after being captivated by the trailer. Had high hopes for 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'. Found myself really enjoying the first 'Fantastic Beasts' film, though not all my friends and family did for understandable reasons. Having grown up with the franchise and cherishing the fond memories being engrossed in the books, the midnight shopping trips to get the latest one and watching the films in the cinema being entertained, dazzled and at times even scared. Am something of a fan of Harry Potter, books and films.
