The Crimes Of Grindelwald Movie Review


Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Movie Review

A decent sequel to the first Fantastic Beasts film

So, I just got back from seeing Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and it was a pretty good film, with a few flaws.
The Crimes of Grindelwald starts off as Grindelwald is supposed to be transferred from America to Britain for trial, but he ends up escaping. Three months later Newt is tasked by Dumbledore to go to Paris and figure out what Grindelwald is up to.
Alright, this is a pretty good movie, and if you are a fan of this overarching series, then you will enjoy this film. Are there problems in the movie? Yes. Though for the most part I did end up finding myself enjoying the film overall. The acting was pretty good, and the effects were good, but the movie did drag on in parts.
So the actors did a good job of portraying their characters. I do like the character Newt, and his... well, team. However I wish we got to see the characters interact more with each other and bond more, because though the characters do work well with each other, I don't really feel a strong connection with them.
The opening scene of the film is absolutely fantastic, and you get to see some really cool magical elements in it. This is where the effects come in, and I am overall happy with them. The magic is part of what draws us in, and I'm pleased to say when it's on screen, it delivers.
Now the film does feel like it runs on for a long time, and there are a couple of points that do drag in the movie. Some of the plot is poorly explained, and merely just glanced over, and this could lead to confusion for the casual viewer.
If you are a fan of the Wizarding World, then I think you will like this movie. It's not perfect but The Crimes of Grindelwald is still enjoyable.



final score: 3.3/5

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
