5/10
Costumes & visual F/X the only high points
13 June 2022
The third movie in the Fantastic Beasts series, "The Secrets of Dumbledore," is rather dull compared with the previous installments. The costumes, set design and visual effects are eye-catching, but these do not make up for the boring, repetitive storyline. There is literally no story arc or character development. The Queenie/Jacob love story is the only interesting plot line, so a movie just about them would have been more compelling to me. There are lots of good-looking stars who seem very uninspired. I admire Mads Mikkelsen, but he was very subdued and dull as Grindlewald compared to Johnny Depp-so even the main villain character came off as a bore. All involved in this production could have done a better job.
