Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful, dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards and witches. They soon encounter an array of old and new beasts as they clash with Grindelwald's growing legion of followers.

The third Fantastic Beasts entry lands as a mixed-to-negative effort by most critical measures, continuing the franchise's downward trajectory. The one clear point of agreement is that Mads Mikkelsen brought new life to Grindelwald, with many critics arguing he should have been cast from the beginning — though that praise wasn't enough to rescue a film that left most reviewers cold on its story and sense of wonder.
