Fantastic beasts and Crimes of Grindelwald review

Ok this is a NO SPOILER review with my own opinions

+ Just because I love the character doesn't mean that I'm defending the actors with certain controversies. Actor=/=Character

Things I liked about the movie

- Newt and Leta's back to school storyline. I LOVED IT. The young actors who portrayed those characters were incredibly symmetrical to original actors and how a boy from Hufflepuff and girl from Slytherin hang out melted my heart

- Everyone's sense of fashion

- JONNY DEPP'S GRINDELWALD Oh my god guys. Whether you like him or not, it's just... he just nailed the entire performance. Honestly, I didn't like how they styled his hair and looks, but once you watch the movie, they don't matter anymore. It's just the dark wizard himself inspiring and grasping everyone's attention. Once you step out from the cinema, the only character I thought about was him.

- Grindelwald actually proposes a very reasonable and convincing agenda which scared me. He reminded me of Michael Fassbender's Magneto in X Men. Compared to Voldemort, who proposes an extreme dictatorship, G sounded like he was actually fighting for the rights for the wizards.

- MY BABY NIFFLER

- Lkie the first one, it was nice to see the adult's wizarding world where they are not students, but and actual member of the wizarding society with strong and built up abilities

Thing I didn't like

- The storyline was extremely weak tbh. The first act with Newt and his animals was interesting & exciting, but the second act was dragging the storyline. The story only built up with conflict and more conflict without a proper climax in the movie

- Leta's storyline was full of plot holes and mostly dragging the movie. There is a scene which includes her talking for the entire scene which I felt it was kind of unnecessary and makes you roll your eyes and go 'uhh, can we move on to next part now??' I liked Zoe's acting, but it's just David Yate's poor storytelling skills

- There were a lot of UNNECESSARY SUPPORTING CHARACTERS. Like seriously, the movie could have been 100% fine without them

- The title 'Fantastic beasts' sounds like an mere excuse to explain Dumbledore and Grindelwald's storyline. Both of it could have been a separate movie, where there is a spin off about Newt acting like a Pokemon trainer, searching and analysing magical creatures, but the main movie is about the actual Dumbledore vs Grindelwald storyline. Why combine those two??

It wasn't a movie you'd enjoy 100% in the cinema because it didn't really solve or developed a storyline, but it makes you wonder and get excited for the sequel. 6.7/10 for me
