Finally got around to this.
It's fun and Redmayne shines, but only whEN IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT THE GODDAMN FANTASTIC BEASTS. Literally did not give a shit about anything else and the film doesn't give you a reason to.
Otherwise, it's a 2-hour long build up to a cliffhanger with a lot of Yatesian brooding and dark cinematography. At least it was warranted in HP because it reflected how each film/book got darker than the last. In this it is unnecessary and boring.
Final act is just a mess of serious stares and CGI.
Should have just been 1 or two films without all this Grindelwald and Credence nonsense.
