Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald
In the first part, everyone thought it was just a sideshow of HP, a bit like Rowling and the manufacturer's peripheral attempt after selling HP. But Grindelwald opened up a whole new world.
Depp and Jude Law are really strong, handsome from young to old monsters, very powerful, and they are demagogic speakers. Grindelwald and Depp are literally the same person. The actor's own temperament completely fits the role, and the result is that everyone is very comfortable to watch. The British-style writing and performances are permeated with Shakespeare flavors, which is what we often call the cultural heritage. This is something that Hollywood factory movies cannot match.

As a prequel, this film unlocks the bloody reality of the magical world.
In terms of the plot setting, the serial reversal of changing children, the complicated four-cornered romance, and the confusing confrontation make the film very tight in rhythm.

Asian actors have more weight, but Nagini is of Korean descent, Krall is a Danish half-Japanese, and the only Chinese "person" is the big cat, I hope Chinese actors can appear on such a stage soon.
P: Nagini is really good-looking, and with a small frame, the feeling of weakness is more prominent, but thinking about being used by Tom and beheaded by Neville, I feel very embarrassed;
