The Fantastic Beasts series is something of an odd duck in terms of franchises. They aren't commercial or critical failures by a long shot, but they aren't exactly beloved either.

Readers of this are going to wonder- is it true? Is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as lackluster and joyless as the prior films? We can cut right to the chase and say no, that's not the case. Crimes isn't one of the best of the films, but neither is it terrible by any stretch […]
