The millennial cycle started with witches and wizards, then
came vampires, then zombies, and now it goes back to Magic. The 2nd franchise
of Potter Spin-off series unveiled last weekend, thanks to @NovoCinemasQatar
@SouqWaqif with @QatarLiving ‘s incomparable support. And as expected, since
the brain behind this Fantatis Beasts is the same as Harry Potter’s successful
franchise, expected a movie that is full of magic. But…
Let’s tell a li’l something about the film. FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD take place a few months after the events of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them left dangerous dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) in prison and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) headed in separate directions. But soon after this film begins, Grindelwald escapes and flees to Paris with a cadre of followers; they're searching for the Obscurus, Credence (Ezra Miller), who's in the City of Light searching for his magical ancestry. A younger Professor Dumbledore (Jude Law) convinces Newt to travel to Paris to find Credence before Grindelwald and his cronies do. But things get extra complicated for Newt when Jacob (Dan Fogler) needs to tag along to find Queenie (Alison Sudol), who's run off to find Tina (Katherine Waterston) in Paris after a fight. The French capital becomes the site of a massive wizarding battle between Grindelwald's followers and everyone who doesn't agree with him. (ctto)
Eddie Redmayne reprised his role as the awkward albeit charming and adorable wizard Newt Scamander. His character alone already created a big impact to the film. But for any film to be memorable, it must have a good plot, not only the visual effects, in which indeed, this 2nd franchise made a very good improvement compare to its first part. But the problem is, they put more visual magic, but the magic in the storyline was reduced. Too many subplots, too many minor characters, and too many scenes that are not necessary. Hearing Johnny Depp’s name alone is already satisfying, and we still have Zoe Kravitz and Jude Law in the house, but placing them in a circling storyline is not good at all.
If you are a Hardcore HP fan, I’m pretty sure you will feel
that something is missing in this film. But
if you are just looking for some magical fantasy adult genre (yup, let’s not
forget the word CRIME on its title), then you might enjoy this one, a bit
violet, full of magic, and good actors.
Great ! Thanks for the information you shared with us.
