I am a die hard crazy potter/fantastic beasts fan to the point I have a spare room in my house full of HP related collectibles. I was disappointed when I found out Johnny depp wasnโt going to be reprising his role as grindewald but it didnโt put me off because I love the movies as a whole. But wow was I disappointed and I hate that Iโm saying that because I love the wizarding world so much, but except for a few cute and heartwarming scenes with the creatures and two beautifully shot fight scenes it felt very much like a filler movie with not much point to it, I feel the ending could have been fit into 30 mins of a film, I also didnโt like mads mikaelson as grindewald, he felt very flat and didnโt have much edge to him whatsoever, very very disappointed โน๏ธ Iโm literally sat here devastated that Iโve just watched the next movie Iโve waited years for and feeling deflated that there was no point, nothing is different nothing was concluded and a few of the story lines that have reached a semi conclusion felt like what was the point of even giving them a story line then that felt like it was building to something only for this movie to slash and purpose of the story line all together.
I will still watch the next one because I will always be a fan but I hope they choose another actor for grindewald and they have less fluff and filler storyline and create a fantastic fantastic beasts again, ever hopeful! ๐ฆ๐ฆโก๏ธ
