Actually slightly better than Crimes of Grindelwald, as it focuses up more, has a “men on a mission” type finale almost like a spy movie, and (strange & unfortunate circumstances of the recasting aside) Mads fits better into the Potterverse than Depp ever did. Buuut all that said, it still has a lot of odd and awkward scenes, poor pacing, a ton of tangents into lore and characters I barely care about, and Eddie Redmayne is now fully a side character in what was supposed to be his own series.

This one is just as dark as The Batman. I guess Dumbledore must also be nocturnal. (pointless reviews #87) In seriousness, though, the underlying message is either toxic or defeatist. (Spoiler ahead) Believe what the magic deer tells you. Don't judge leaders using petty things such as morals, the deer decides this for you. "We're going to war!" Crowd celebrates! 2 minutes later: "Nevermind, that was a fake deer! No war!" Crowd celebrates!

Not enough beasts, the ones that were there weren't that fantastic, and Dumbledore doesn't have any secrets if you've read Deathly Hallows. Seriously though, how many more films can this poorly planned franchise support? They just don't understand how to be self-contained or artistically significant while most of the Harry Potter films, even the ones directed by David Yates, knew how to do the former. Mads is better than Depp, but not enough for him to impact the movie significantly.

Remarkably disappointing and messy. The characters I've grown to love dearly are in it, but the Grindelwald plot, the 'confusion' meant to throw Grindelwald off has no rhyme, even for what we're shown. Half a dozen cases made? We'll just use five. References to three card monte but there's no true 'how could I know' distraction element. The contrivance is very real and hard to get around. Even then, it doesn't follow what's laid out. ... What happened? Where is this series even going?

It looks good, and it's not as bad as the second installment in terms of plot messiness. But if you're going to push a political message, don't present what looks like an arbitrary choice from a magical creature followed by popular acclamation as a happy resolution.

I liked the first Fantastic Beasts film. The second was a mess. This one was a little bit better, but the characters lacks the charm that originally made the Harry Potter world so much fun. It's mostly dull caricatures at this point with a splash of magic once in a while.

The Secrets of Dumbledore was marred by controversy & Covid production woes, resulting in a mixed bag of a film. Mikkelsen plays Grindelwald better than Depp. Fogler's facial expressions once again lead the franchise. While there are plenty of locations, they all feel like closed sets. However the film's real problem is its magic system, which requires epic battles and no noticeable consequences to muggles. Nevertheless, I'm still invested in the story, even if this chapter isn't very well told.

You know the franchise has hit rock-bottom when this film almost breaks the fourth wall to tell you "I know nothing makes sense and it sucks, but it's stylistically designed to be this way". Nevertheless, it's somehow less of a mess than the previous entry.

There is a key plot point here where none of the main characters are supposed to know what is going on so that the antagonist cannot discover their plan. Unfortunately this perfectly reflects the experience of the viewer who will have no clue as to what the point of this movie was. The Fantastic Beasts franchise has been getting notably worse with each release and sadly after this it may be best if they are put to sleep for everyone's sake.

I don't know if it's just that I hate most of the bad casting (Jude Law and Mads Mikkelsen, esp), I just couldn't get myself to care about any of the characters. Or, maybe it was that the movie played like bad war propaganda for most of the movie. Either way, it was mostly boring. There was little charm. It didn't get even remotely interesting until almost the end. The only good part of it was the removal of Depp from the cast.

It's asinine how these films can get so boring at times. Big budget movies about people and monsters throwing magic at each other; it should take effort to ruin the experience but the overly convoluted plots and mediocre direction manage it. They ought to stop overwriting them and giving them to Yates.

I didn't really follow the plot and didn't really care. The only thing I can say positive about it is the CGI was really good, all the creatures looked 100% realistic and interacting with people. But just dull and uninvolving with no forward momentum or hook for the audience to care. About any of it.

The greatest problem with all these Fantastic Beasts film is that they try to do so much that it becomes confusing for the casual viewer (though I casually read all the Harry Potter books). I'm left with so many questions about the world. Dan Fogler would have been a perfect audience surrogate if they took the time to explain wizarding world happenings for us muggles. Mads Mikkelsen's a better Grindelwald than Depp. Fav scenes: mimicking manticores; return to Hogwarts; hot Prof. McGonagall.

Turned it off. They put more effort in political correctness than a coherent, fun and magical movie. In the first scenes we get see a diverse cast and Dumbledore stepping out of the closet. Thirty minutes into the movie and 0 story development, 0 character development and actually just 0 progress. It's so badly written. I miss the good old movies that stood for escapism from reality. Now reality just haunts you even when you are trying to flee it.

I enjoyed this film. I never fully follow the whole universe/plot side of things (hardly news to anyone who knows me, distraction wise etc. lol) but I found it really quite engrossing and certainly the CGI was quite impressive! there's plenty to keep you watching, if your a fan of fantasy films and its a nice mix of set on Earth scenes and scenes set elsewhere. I suppose there's probably more outside of Earth in this film but it didn't ruin it for me.

Still suffers from feeling like they're just stretching shit out because they need some movies, but this is a slight improvement over the last. At least this one made me feel something by the end, so it left me feeling good. Mads is always great to see, so he was a good replacement. Newt is still a strong, sympathetic character. Dumbledore is still awesome too. While the next one surely won't reach the heights of HP, I get the feeling watching Dumbledore hunt down Grindelwald will be fun.

Feels to me to be the most mainstream entry in the franchise. It's entirely possible that I enjoyed this the most out of the three (so far) movies simply because it fixed my biggest problem with FB2: inaccessibility to non-fandom viewers. This self-contains enough that you need to know to be enjoyable, even if you're like me and almost completely forget what took place in the first two films. Eddie Redmayne played Stephen Hawking in 2014 and never stopped; he's the same character in every movie.

The first in this series had more comedy, and the series turned dark in the second and third films very quickly. Harry Potter got darker as it went along but it had more heart. Unfortunately, not much happens plot-wise in this one and the fun has been almost totally removed. The comic relief character no longer provides comic relief, and we've also re-cast our villain to someone that looks completely different. There's a chance this series dies with this movie and I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Harry Potter ve Fantastik Canavarlar filmleri açısından en kötüsü. Dumbledore ve Grindelwald arasındaki ilişkinin sevgili olduğunu öğrendiğimiz film, Grindelwald'ın Sihir Bakanlığına geçmesini engelliyorlar. Bu arada 1 yaratık onlara yardım edecektir. Azkaban Tutsağından daha karanlık 1 film. Fakat görsel açıdan çok karanlık. Istakoz sahnesi çok kötüydü. Hiç gerek yoktu. David Yates yorulmuş. Bu filmde depresyon geçiriyor. Filmin sonunda, Bhutan'da seçim. Mapushaneye yengeç bastı.

This is saying more about the quality of its predecessors than the movie itself, but I thought this was probably the best entry in this weird, unshapely franchise so far. Sure, it only gets there by completely sidelining many of its original characters and ideas, and focusing on its dark wizard parallel to the Weimar Republic, but whatever works, right?

Still has some of the magical moments of the film franchise, but it's a little dour and missing a lot of the whimsy of the original franchise. Jude Law stands out as a young Dumbledore and the film features a few fantastic moments of action and humor, but those moments are a little too few and far between.

While "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" manages to improve on its predecessors, it still falls short of recapturing the magic of the "Harry Potter" franchise. Mads Mikkelsen's captivating performance is a highlight, but the film's flat characters and tedious plot prevent it from being a truly engaging experience.

It was less magical and more political. Grindelwald trying to scam the elections, corrupt police... Just not something I wanted front and center in a movie abot magic. Mads Mikkelsen is not good as Grindelwald here. My favorite scene, of course, is the one with the crab-like creatures. But one scene does not maketh a movie.

It was a step better than Crimes was. It had a story that made more sense within the universe and had strong visual effects. Jude Law as a younger Albus Dumbledore is a casting that is not praised enough. His strengths , weaknesses, magical prowess and intelligence are on display here. It is not perfect in execution but it definitely will please long term fans of the franchise enough to keep them invested.
