If "Fantastic Beasts" was one of the key points in the previous work, it has been further reduced to a must-have embellishment in this work. These four words that are destined to always hang in front of the title will probably become the eternal embarrassment of the new series.
Since the last episode, I feel a little distressed for Newt. The "Fantastic Beasts" series, as his home ground, was supposed to tell about the adventures of animal trainers/Pokémon masters, but now it has gradually evolved into a war of good and evil in the magical world; it should have the same world view as "Harry Potter" The rumored rumor, but now it has become an out-and-out prequel, focusing more and more on the grievances between Grindelwald and Dumbledore.
Newt Scamander? I'm afraid that, like Credence, he has become a pawn who was involved in the strife of the chaotic world and couldn't help it after all. Even Credence in this film is increasingly shrouded in the shadows of others.
Although Aunt J.K. Rowling wrote novels, there is no doubt about her writing skills, but she was too unaccustomed to writing screenplays. The previous work has already shown signs that the plot is not cohesive enough, and this work is even more exposed in the scattered and complicated. It's better not to write the script independently for the next one.
As for David Yates? Coconuts are just a useful tool, and whether the film is good or bad, I can't help it.
Some people say that the previous work is like "The Amazing Spider-Man 1", which is not without flaws but makes people see hope. Then this work seems to be a fusion of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Ranger Solo", gorgeous and messy, and fans are eager to eat.
Still, look forward to the sequel, after all, the bomb thrown at the end is really surprising - although the laying out around this explosion point is almost child's play.
56/100. One point is added to the magical world that is still familiar after all. (down five points)
