Featured review
Reasonably good expansion of the Wizarding World
Dumbledore sends Newt after Grindelwald.
It has an interesting but convoluted story that gives some decent backstory to characters like Grindelwald and Dumbledore. It has moments that work nicely, such as the allusions to conflict in 20th Century and the final act that everything builds towards, but the focus changes so much between various characters that the overarching plot does not flow particularly well.
If you are a fan of the Wizarding World you will likely not be disappointed, considering the screen time it gives to certain characters. All performances are strong, but some actors, such as Johnny Depp, are underused because of the amount of time spent elsewhere.
Visually it has plenty of action and effects that are all pretty spectacular if you value this aspect of movies.
