Critics Consensus

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has glimmers of the magic familiar to Harry Potter fans, but the story's spell isn't as strong as earlier installments.

A bit long, but still a great movie. It's also a must-see for Harry Potter fans because it's filled with backstory information regarding most of the H.P characters.

A bunch of building at this stage. At some point, I want to live in the world, not watch it being put together.

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Certain characters spend all of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald barely doing anything, and the wide-open nature of the ending in particular cheapens the preceding film.

Rated: 2.5/5

InSession Film

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald is a decent addition to J.K. Rowling’s universe. I think I still like the first one more. It’s obviously a bit of a filler film, which some people may not like, but I don’t have a problem with.

Rated: B

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald was a disappointment. They tried to accomplish so many things and in the end, they accomplished nothing.

From the digital monotony of its visuals to the uninvolving characters, it fails to evoke much of a response.
