S2E1: A no-spoilers episode to kick off season 2. I give you a review of the latest Fantastic Beasts film that contains absolutely no major plot giveaways – beyond what your local cinema might have in their description blurb.
I talk about what’s good and not so good about The Crimes of Grindelwald so you can decide for yourself. I talk about where I disagree with the criticisms levelled at this movie – and where I think the naysayers are right.
In particular:
*The issue of exposition in a prequel and where the film fell down
*Where I thought there was real emotional depth
*How Leta Lestrange was portrayed
*Johnny Depp as Grindelwald – total dud or just right
*The problem of Dumbledore being played anew by a third actor
*What we all need to remember about exposition in the Harry Potter films
*My favourite special effects
