Recently, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”, the third installment of the “Fantastic Beasts” series, was officially released.
At present, the evaluation of this film by film critics is generally not very good, but as a commercial film, the feedback of the audience is the most important.
Compared to its predecessor, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” has a much simpler plot, and the entire movie moves at a fast pace.
Without too many twists and turns, the main plot and conflict are already present in the first act.
At the beginning of the movie, the big story is explained, and then the protagonist group completes the task, which is a very simple plot routine.
And the suspense left by the last film is also explained relatively simply and rudely. Credence’s identity is just Dumbledore’s nephew, nothing special.
The heroine’s role is very small, Nagini disappears directly, and Grindelwald’s character is like a different person.
There are also comments that Professor Lally Hicks may be a more popular character for the audience.
There aren’t many Fantastic Beasts, but they are vital to the story.
The unicorn is the pivotal animal for the entire film, involving Grindelwald’s conspiracy plans; the manticore is probably one of the film’s most exciting scenes; and Bowtruckle and Niffler seem to have added scenes as well.
All of these animals are visually stunning.
But longtime fans of the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise and the “Harry Potter” franchise may not be too happy with the film.
Because it lacks the character of J. K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, it goes slightly against the philosophy of the Wizarding World and is closer to a new wizard-themed commercial.
Therefore, the audience’s feelings may also be polarized in the end.
But then again, a lot of the problems with “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” are actually left over from “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”.

The plot of “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” leaves too much suspense. How does Grindelwald challenge the order of the wizarding world?
How did he predict World War II in the real world?
What happened to his blood alliance with Dumbledore?
What is Credence’s background?
What secrets does the Lestrange family have?
We don’t know if Rowling really thought about the follow-up plot before setting up these suspense.
Fans may have the patience to wait for her to slowly bring the plot back, but passers-by audiences can’t watch a film like “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” every time, unless it’s like “Harry Potter”, Make sure to write the original first.
