I am a HUGE fan of the Harry Potter series (both the movies and the books), I even liked Fantastic Beasts: And Where To Find Them--but this, this was of utter and absolute failure. The plot was meaningless, confusing, uninteresting, and all-around bad. The acting was untasteful and felt unencouraged. The runtime was dreadful. The characters whom were added in felt useless and didn't really progress. The "romance" was cheap and led nowhere. The deaths (no spoilers) meant nothing. Grindelwald was such a horrible villain, he did nothing and caused nothing (well, nothing worse than Voldemort). Each character's background story felt like a waste of time. The animation is probably all this movie had going for it. So basically, I hated this movie. I usually leave good reviews showing the pros and cons, but I was absolutely lost when it came to the pros, so I ended up just writing the cons. You can watch it (obviously) so you can see if you like it, but be honest; its terrible compared to FB: AWTFT and the Harry Potter movies. This is NOT a wizarding world I'd want to dive into EVER AGAIN!
