VIDEO : Fantastic Beasts Brings Something New

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald brings star power, introduces key characters and lays the foundation for a genuine "Wizarding World" franchise. While J.K. Rowling's mythology-heavy plot is dense, the film has enough epic heft to feel like a genuine blockbuster. CNN reports as for Eddie Redmayne, the ostensible star as the halting, vulnerable, love-struck Newt Scamander, his role recedes a bit, partly overwhelmed by the swirl of characters around him and the need for long expository passages, which practically require a scorecard.
