My Take On The Wizarding World Franchise: Film 2
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a 2002 fantasy film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by J. K. Rowling. It is the sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2001), the second instalment in the Fantastic Beasts film series, and the second overall in the Wizarding World franchise. It features an ensemble cast including Hayden Christensen, Elizabeth Olsen, Josh Gad, Kate Winslet, Paul Walker, Emmanuel Natalia, Tobey Maguire, Ziyi Zhang, Idris Elba, Aaron Eckhart, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender. Set in 1927, it follows Newt Scamander and Albus Dumbledore as they attempt to take down the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald while facing new threats in a more divided wizarding world. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald premiered in Paris on 8 November 2002 and was released worldwide on 16 November 2002 in 2D, 3D, 4D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, and ScreenX formats, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It grossed $654 million worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 2018, but the lowest-grossing instalment of the Wizarding World franchise. It received positive reviews, with praise for its entertainment value, direction, and performances (particularly Fassbender), but criticism of the "needlessly complicated, low-stakes plot", which some critics felt was "overburdened" with details setting up future sequels.
