Skip it unless you're a hardcore Harry Potter completist. The third Fantastic Beasts installment suffers from bloated plotting, muddy character motivations, and the sense that it's spinning its wheels waiting for the inevitable Dumbledore-Grindelwald showdown that never quite lands. The franchise charm has worn thin.

Plot

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.
