The last one felt like a studio mandate from WB so that they could greenlight sequels and make more money off of the Wizarding World. It was trying to be two movies at once: one where Newt Scamander traveled to New York and was trying to find the magical creatures that had escaped his briefcase, and another one that involved Grindelwald (Colin Farrell) and an Obscurial. That movie, which did not only have great fan reception when it first premiered (an A Cinemascore), but also rather positive reviews, felt like a giant mess to me. I find myself in a very interesting position, which I didn’t think possible back when the first Fantastic Beasts opened in 2016 and almost made a billion dollars worldwide. With Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore hitting North American theaters this weekend, and with all of the controversies going around the movie, as well as declining interest from the fans, is it a must-watch? Let’s briefly discuss the movie, no spoilers ahead.
