It is a movie that genuinely does not know what story it wants to tell, but understands it needs to set the foundation for the three films that will follow it. While the first movie was rather dull for the most part, this second installment is downright bad more often than not. Although a good chunk of the movie is indeed quite decent with its fair share of qualities, this is a messy movie. The second in what is expected to be a five-film series, The Crimes of Grindelwald sees the titular wizard finally given life in the series. Unfortunately, no revival gets out unscatched as The Crimes of Grindelwald so blatantly shows us. With new movies and plays to dig into, the Wizard World is as alive as it’s ever been. Now, it’s been living through a renaissance unlike any other. Following the end of the main series, Harry Potter as a brand seemed more or less in limbo until The Cursed Child rocked the theatrical world. Although Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was not a particularly strong film, it marked a welcome return to the Wizarding World’s cinematic side of things.
