First reviews are in 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' (both good & bad) The first reviews are in for the soon-to-be-released Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindewald (SnitchSeeker\'s review can be read here), and mostly are not quite in favor of the way the movie explores so many characters, with so many storylines. Admittedly, many of the critics are not Wizarding world fans and simply film critics, so their take on the movie would be far different than that of a Harry Potter fan. Do not be discouraged by the reviews, and simply see the movie and judge for yourselves next week. Please note that some of these will have spoilers for some of the biggest shocks in the film, so do heed with caution. <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Fantastic Beasts: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheCrimesOfGrindelwald?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc% 5Etfw">#TheCrimesOfGrindelwald</a> review: "Truly understands what makes the Wizarding World work" <a href="https://t.co/9hv7VaCsKI">https://t.co/9hv7VaCsKI</a> <a href="https://t.co/yRaf3jIkc4">pic.twitter.com/yRaf3jIkc4</a></p>— GamesRadar+ (@GamesRadar) <a href="https://twitter.com/GamesRadar/status/1060898606134235136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald [68] <a href="https://t.co/zjPwY8LOOZ">https://t.co/zjPwY8LOOZ</a><br>Reviews are coming in now....

Read SnitchSeeker's set visit breakdown of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, including the return to Hogwarts and London, and entering Paris's Wizarding world. Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World™. |
I've learnt that critics are usually wrong whenever they make negative reviews (the most recent being Venom's) :lol: I can't wait to see it and form my own opinion. However, from what I see of the trailer, this movie looks absolutely thrilling :yes: |
I usually take what the critics have to say with a huge grain of salt. I saw Bohemian Rhapsody recently which has gotten flak from a few critics and loved it. I'm very excited about Crimes of Grindelwald and look forward to seeing it Thursday. |
