A completed sh*tshow, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore squanders all of the potential that had been built up in the last film. No longer wanting to be a badass outlaw (for some reason), Grindelward gets the charges against him dropped so that he can run for political office, and Dumbledore assembles a ragtag crew to stop him. The story feels almost completely disconnected from the previous Fantastic Beasts; as it pushing the Dumbledore/Gindelwald blood pact, Credence’s heritage, and the romance plots into the background. And the recasting of Johnny Depp with Mads Mikkelsen, who has no charisma, as Grindelwald doesn’t help. Also, director David Yates doesn’t really bring any excitement or suspense to the film; making the wizard fights rather dull and lacking in dramatic weight. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is incredibly dull and boring, and is by far the worst of the franchise.
