Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Jayne Nelson
With Harry Potter veteran Steve Kloves joining JK Rowling on the screenplay, this third Fantastic Beasts film feels far more coherent than the previous entry, The Crimes of Grindelwald. While it still drags at times, and a few important characters are, bafflingly, ignored, these faults are offset by some beautiful CGI sequences and a new focus on Jude Law's dapper, twinkly-eyed Professor Dumbledore. The movie, and indeed the franchise, benefits enormously from his increased screentime, and it's pleasing that Dumbledore gets more scenes with his arch-nemesis and former lover Grindelwald, now played by Mads Mikkelsen (who replaces Johnny Depp). Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander and his magical creatures aren't neglected, although one sequence involving a murderous lobster is both hilarious and deeply unsettling for young children. There may be two more movies left in this franchise but it's hard to feel they're needed: The Secrets of Dumbledore works as an almost perfect trilogy-capper.
