Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is easily the worst film in the Potterverse. What a convoluted piece of trash. I was expecting a bit of a mess considering this is a prequel and a sequel and is going to be jammed with fan service but they turned it up to 11. There were way too many new characters, side plots, and Potter references to keep track of. Then add in that the story and character development seemed disconnected from the first fantastic beasts and I really had no idea what was going on or gave any care towards the numerous twists. My biggest criticism of all though is wow this movie is boring with so many dull expositional scenes where nothing important happens. About halfway through I found myself drifting in and out of sleep with the flashy but unsatisfying CGI sequences being the only thing keeping me awake. 2/10.
This is going on my worst films of the decade list. Coming up with a list hasn't been as easy as I first thought since I usually avoid critically panned films.
