Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelwald: Incomprehensible Plot But Such a Feast For The Eyes (Review)
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is another of those movies I knew I was absolutely going to go to as soon as I’d viewed the trailer. Apparently I still have a soft spot for the Harry Potter Universe and I loved the first film. I couldn’t help myself....

Sometimes you can really see a specific type of audience in the audience of a movie. Slender Man might draw teenagers and A Star is Born might draw couples. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was definitely very specific - it was impossible not to notice. All around...
