Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

“Rowling’s universe just got bigger and more complex, but Yates never forgets to sprinkle stardust on top.”

James Mottram, Total Film · 100

“On the strength of this sequel – a dense yet deft return to the high standards Yates set with the Potter films – count this Muggle’s heart and mind all in.”

Kimberley Jones, Austin Chronicle · 89

“Another strong entry in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World saga. Rowling has improved upon the first Fantastic Beasts film by fleshing out her characters in a way that’s engaging, though not everybody receives as much attention. Both Johnny Depp and Eddie Redmayne are - forgive the pun - fantastic in their perspective roles.”

David Griffin, IGN · 80

“The sequel has better and at times galvanizing special effects, a darker tone and a high-stakes battle between good and evil. Best of all, its characters are more vibrantly drawn, and tangled in relationships that range from delightful to lethal.”

Caryn James, The Hollywood Reporter · 80

“The Crimes of Grindelwald probably had enough plot to drive a four-hour mini-series, but even so, what we get is often absorbing and grand. The sense that this magical world is actually, well, fantastic is finally back in the series.”
