J.K. Rowling's magical world stumbled under The Crimes of Grindelwald, and this film feels rather like a meandering history lesson than an adventure about magic. The narrative was too busy keeping up with various subplots, leaving even the staunchest Harry Potter fan bewildered. Johnny Depp, playing the infamous Grindelwald is polarizing, could not save this film from getting criticism. Dimming its reception has been poor pacing and underdeveloped characters, marking it as a disappointing chapter for the Fantastic Beasts saga.
