Maybe JK should stick to books rather than writing screenplays because this was horrific. Coupled with all the real world issues with this series, just a poison pill of a franchise.

Completely wasted the whole potential of a series about beasts, if they wanted a dumbledore prologue that should have been the series. Not cramming it in here. Each film has got progressively worse, god help the final two films.

But I’m tapped out now, no more money wasted on this.… Expand

The movie is about nothing. Loss of money and two hours of life. Instead of development of the characters and answering the audience's questions - this movie is a spit in the face of the audience.

Absolutely farcical.
First remove Depp and replace with, quite frankly, a worse actor for the role.
Then you go and mess with dumbledore. WB have taken the franchise and just thrown it at the wall and thrown out the remains to the audience.Absolutely farcical.

The film was slow and underwhelming with next to no magic....... you know the thing people watch a HP movie for. All in all I hope that there's been a mass boycott after WB took decisions based on poor decisions and they will look at redoing it with more energy and the right actors… Expand

In summary, this is one wizarding movie that should've been (made and) left as a novel instead. What a borefest it must be to those who saw it in the theaters!
The cast probably did their best, but the plot really couldn't be helped.

I mainly wanted to write this review to coin the term "Vote Goat" in reference to the little creature who decides the electoral process based on who it deems pure of heart. Dear god help us if a character written by J.K. Rowling is the one judging people's characters. The refusal to bring back Johnny Depp after the hell he's been through is very telling of the absolute horror show that is J.K.'s empty shell of a heart.

Also, the Dumbledore/ Grindelvold dynamic is literally just Professor X and Magneto. I know that old crone watched those movies and then had an unrelated dream in which she invented it, but it's not subtle, nor is it remotely even as well fleshed out.

Also also, they added the Mirror Dimension from Doctor Strange, and I know that's where the idea came from, because they cast the bad guy from Doctor Strange in the movie.

Also also also, the previous movie ended on a cliffhanger where the bad guy wants to, in a roundabout way, prevent the holocaust. So, the entire subtext of this film includes our wacky heroes actively trying to stop the bad guy from preventing the holocaust. Just a fun note that is also very telling of how much of a garbage human being Ms. Rowling is. If you need a reminder, she's the same lady who wrote a slave race into her children's books and said it was okay to leave them enslaved because they "liked it."

Even worse than Morbius.… Expand

The movie has plot issues and continues with the main problems of the fantastic beasts franchise. Mads Mikklesen is good as Grindelwald, and Jude Law is good as dumbledore but they can’t carry this movie on their own.

Went on and on and on. I felt like I walked into the middle of a series, and I guess I did. Everyone else knew but me. A silly movie where no children attended, and the adults walked in and out – more than we usually see.

It had everything to be a great movie, but unfortunately the decisions made, this is one of the worst movies that have been made in this saga, hopefully the problems are resolved and the movie recovers its essence with the real cast.

Hollywood needs to return to storytelling and not social engineering.… Expand

And the film finally lost the magic of the original series. Fantastic Beasts is already difficult to annihilate with the Harry Potter universe. This is a mediocre film that is not clear at all to whom it is worth recommending for viewing. At first he wants to say that it is worth watching for ardent fans of the franchise, and then you understand that from Harry Potter there is only the lore of the series and nothing more. NOT saving Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore even a great cast. Well, no matter how well Mads Mikkelsen plays, Gellert Grindelwald should play Johnny Depp.… Expand

the life motive of these films are only money grabbing withouth any good idea.

This film is simply a sequences of casual stuff, there isn't a moovie trama.

the only actor good in his character is Albus Dumbledore-Jude Law (with a personality more similar with te book than the last 5 Harry Potter's film, so better than Michael John Gambon)

from the third ''Harry Potter'' it seams like they wanna destroy story and world cretaed with good rules in the book series… Expand
