Über diesen Film

Professor Albus Dumbledore (Law) weiß genau, dass der mächtige Zauberer Gellert Grindelwald (Mikkelsen) die Herrschaft über die Welt der Zauberer an sich reißen will. Er kann ihn jedoch nicht alleine aufhalten, also beauftragt er den Magizoologen Newt Scamander (Redmayne) damit, eine Gruppe bestehend aus Zauberern, Hexen und einem tapferen Muggel-Bäcker in einer gefährlichen Mission anzuführen. Dabei besteht immer die Gefahr, auf alte und neue Bedrohungen und sogar auf Grindelwalds wachsende Legion aus Gefolgsleuten zu treffen. Doch kann sich Dumbledore wirklich raushalten, wenn so viel auf dem Spiel steht?

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

I was pissed that they are shoving liberal garbage down people's throats and they ruined a great character. The new JK Rolling movies and books are absolute garbage 🤮 if I could give this movie a 0, I would. They basically made this movie about a romance between Dumbledore and Grindlewald. Absolute garbage. These new movies don't even exist to me now. I'll only be watching the old ones!

I would describe the movie as forced, lazy, not for kids, and not at all like the Harry Potter series it claims to be a part of. Harry Potter seemed to be more about wonder, adventure and hard lessons in friendships overcoming hardship. These movies have so much noise spread across the films and sure it looks great but still feels empty and disconnected. I don't see how Dumbledore became legendary due to these events.

Obviously, not having Johnny Depp as part of the cast was disappointing, however understandable for the time of production. The movie moved very slowly for the most part and just didn's seem as interesting as the previous prequels. Or maybe parts that might not have made the original cut were included as a ripple effect of JD not being part of the cast. In any case, the things that make HP movies magical are still there, but the script seemed lacking.
