6/10
Good But Nothing Special
30 April 2022
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore was a fairly good movie. If you watch this movie as a separate entity from Harry Potter, I guarantee that you'd like it much better. A lot of the logic in this movie didn't correlate with the main series but it worked in a way that wasn't too bothersome. The music went pretty well with each scene but it didn't stand out in a meaningful way. The special effects and fight scenes were very outstanding, maybe even better than the other prequels. The plot wasn't bad but it also wasn't anything special. It felt like a simple hero story with no effect. The goals of the main villain should've been explored more; the movie would've been 3x better if we explored the origin of Grindelwald's prejudices. Nevertheless, the plot's pacing wasn't bad and it was enough to make the movie satisfying. All I can give this movie is a 6/10 because of its simplicity. I do recommend that you watch and see it for yourself because it was still enjoyable in many ways.
