    Well constructed but did absolutely nothing for me.

    An improvement over the second entry but still suffers from much of the same problems. A bloated cast, under developed characters and contrived plotlines. It's saving grace however is it's Villian Grindelwald, played expertly by Mikkelsen. He commands the screen and brings some real weight to an otherwise empty movie.

    This one just didn't work for me.

    Wasn't invested in any single character nor do I believe the film does much to endear them to you. They all feel like setdressing or even the backdrop to this world the director wanted to make

    The film has dual plots going on, with both being completely detached from one another. This conflict occuring in one of those plotlines goes unexplained, leaving me with little reason to care about the people involved.

    I guess the creature designs were cool.

    Make sure to watch some Teletubbies after this as a palette cleanser.
