VIDEO : Did Critics Enjoy New 'Fantastic Beasts' Movie?

J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World returns with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
The film is designed to serve as the second entry in a five-part prequel/spinoff to the Harry Potter franchise.
The movie is loaded with special effects and big stars: Johnny Depp, Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law.
However, the critics did not like the film.
It currently holds a 44% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The rating is in free fall as more critics publish negative reviews of the film.
The general consensus is the movie's story is not very magical.
Screen Rant's Sandy Schaefer gave the film a negative review.
---Has its moments ... but gets bogged down in its efforts to build out the Fantastic Beasts franchise.---
