The concept of the movie universe has been rampant in recent years. It is not difficult to see Warner's ambition to expand the Harry Potter universe, which is also proved by the change from three to five. Warner’s DC box office is not a failure, but the word of mouth has always been overwhelmed by Disney’s Marvel next door. Without knowing which one will be able to turn over, HP has the original author and the fan’s sentiment bonus. There are 8 copies. The box office myth, it would be strange if Warner didn't work hard to expand this series. Regardless of whether Warner wants to collect money, create an ace series, or suppress opponents, the movie is always a movie, after all, it depends on the movie itself to speak. The two cores of the movie itself, the storyline and the characterization, are not successful, or even worthwhile.
When Grindelwald, played by Depp, was discovered, my heart collapsed. If one thing that Marvel criticized is the consumption of villains, then this film is definitely not letting go. Graves himself is a fanatical believer in Grindelwald. It is very good to make the story of this film complete and reserve the topic for the next one. Why let him pretend to be Grindelwald. It's understandable to want Grindelwald to show his face and pave the way for the next one, but there can be countless ways. This film just happened to choose the worst one.
In the case where the cores of this super blockbuster are all the same, how important is a charming villain, and this plot design ruins the two villains at once. Graves is Grindelwald pretending to make everything that this character has done before is so illogical, ill-identified, and illogical. Although knowing that the final arrest was temporary, it is difficult to convince people from previous actions that he was arrested intentionally. Therefore, no matter how he upsets the next few movies, he can't make people forget the failure of his first movie. This plot design is unforgivable and an absolute failure. Compared with the slot point of Uncle Depp's shape, it is not worth mentioning.
As for the main line, while searching for animals, he was caught in prison and escaped, found all the animals, and saved New York by the way. It was very plain, and it was impossible to analyze the focus of the story. Most of the time when watching movies, I can't control the play, and I can only rely on the cuteness of various animals and the amusement of the hemp chicken to cover up this loose plot.
In terms of character portrayal, HP has constructed a huge world. Everyone in this world is so alive. Needless to say, the trio. Every professor, student, and even a ghost at Hogwarts is so alive. Natural and interesting. I still remember the aunt who screamed in the first part, Hagrid who couldn’t distinguish the situation, the arrogant Malfoy, the kind mother Ron, Dumbledore who made people want to explore but couldn’t see clearly, the serious McGonagall. Professor, and of course, people are scared of Professor Snape. In the first film, I believed that most people hadn't started to like him. And this film is really disappointing. The gag is responsible for the funny male partner. It seems that it has become the standard feature of mainstream commercial films, funny but also boring. The female protagonist has no sense of existence, and the male protagonist can feel that he is creating an image that is not tolerant of the mundane but truly loves magical creatures. Unfortunately, it is not very successful, or it is successful but not enough to make the viewer love him. As for the others, there are no bright spots, only the various looks of the members of the US Ministry of Magic.
There is no role to attract the audience, the rhythm without passion, and the villain who has been arrested. I have no expectations for the follow-up of this series. I hope that the next few movies can focus on Newt’s character set. Although the name is where is the magical animal, the protagonist cannot avoid being a human. No matter how cute animals are, they will only be embellished. Obviously, Grindelwald will be the focus of contradictions. If Newt is still so tepid, it is better to shoot Dumbledore and Grindelwald in love and want to kill history. Newt will leave the country as a student of Dumbledore, maybe More harmonious.
