Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald ** ½ / *****
Directed by: David Yates.
Written by: J.K. Rowling.
Starring: Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander), Katherine Waterston (Tina Goldstein), Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski), Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein), Ezra Miller (Credence Barebone), Jude Law (Albus Dumbledore), Johnny Depp (Gellert Grindelwald), Zoë Kravitz (Leta Lestrange), Carmen Ejogo (Seraphina Picquery), Claudia Kim (Nagini), Callum Turner (Theseus Scamander), Victoria Yeates (Bunty), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Skender), Kevin Guthrie (Abernathy), William Nadylam (Yusuf Kama), Joshua Shea (Young Newt Scamander).
One of the reasons why the Harry Potter movies got better over time is that as the series progressed, the books they were based on got longer, and various screenwriters and directors had to edit them down to their essentials. Yes, you miss some of the side plots and details the books provided, but once the books got too big to recreate faithfully in their entirety onscreen (which started in the third installment – also when original director Christopher Columbus stepped away), the storytelling became leaner – and better. This wasn’t exactly the case with the original Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) – although that felt spent so much time world building (and creature building), that the plot almost felt second hand anyway. The job of the first film then was to establish this world, our main character Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), the shy, awkward, stuttering lover of all creatures, before the rest of the series (apparently, there will be five in total) can really start telling the huge story it apparently wants to tell.
Perhaps that’s why Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald feels so bloated, and can only occasionally capture the magic that the Potter series at its best could muster. There are so many characters in this film and so many subplots, that just trying to keep up with the exposition takes up most of its runtime, leaving precious room for anything else. There are a few moments where that magic does kick in – and you feel those same feelings that the Potter series can muster, but two films and over 4 hours of runtime into this series, it kind of feels like when you start watching a Netflix show your friend has told you “gets really good around the 6th episode, you just have to power through until then” – except this time, you’re just taking it on faith that the good stuff will actually get here at some point.
The basic plot of this film is that Grindelwald (Johnny Depp, doing a more muted version of his usual shtick), who was arrested at the end of the last film, escapes at the beginning of this one, during a nighttime transfer where they were supposed to be taking him from America to England (speaking as someone who watched all 11 Michael Myers Halloween movies last month – stop transferring prisoners! They always escape!). This escape sequence is perhaps the best in the movie – and the one filled with the most visual imagination (probably also because it’s the lone time in the movie that we go longer than 30 seconds with someone having to explain something to someone else). The newly freed evil wizard’s plan is to unite all the Pureblood wizards, and lead a revolt against the Muggles of the world, so that wizards can take their proper place in charge. The only wizard powerful enough to go up against Grindelwald is, of course, Albus Dumbledore (played here by Jude Law) – but he keeps insisting that he “can’t” – and we get hints in brief flashbacks to his teenage years when Dumbledore and Grindelwald were “closer then brothers” (why this series seems to pussyfoot around just coming out and saying Dumbledore is gay, and Grindelwald was his lover, I have no idea – since JK Rowling herself said he was gay a decade ago, and yet in the books/movies themselves, they don’t do anything accept have him exchange meaningful looks, and look off into the distance like he’s Heath Ledger hugging Jake Gyllenhaal’s shirt at the end of Brokeback Mountain). So, of course, he enlists Newt Scamander into the mission – which isn’t to fight Grindelwald exactly, but to find Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller), the angry, powerful young wizard obsessed with finding his true identity and harness his power, who is key to Grindelwald’s plan.
That, of course, should be enough plot for this movie – but it barely scratches the surface. The movie also brings back Newt’s lover interest, Tina (Katherine Waterson, who is far better in the film than her role should allow), who is also on Credence’s trail. And Newt’s brother, Theseus (Callum Turner), who works for the Ministry of Magic, and is engaged to Leta Lestrange (Zoë Kravitz), who Newt was once in love with. And Tina’s delightfully ditzy sister Queenie (Alison Sudol), and her muggle boyfriend Jacob (Dan Fogler). And Credence’s new friend, Nagini (Claudia Kim) – who we know will become Voldemort’s Snake. And that still leave a few more subplots, and other characters – and a couple of side trips to Hogwarts for good measure – out of what happens in the film.
What happened, I think, is that somewhere along the way J.K. Rowling has fallen in so love with the dense mythology she has created for her world to exist in – and she wants to put it all on screen. To be fair, it is a good mythology, and there’s lots of interesting things to dig into. And yet, with the original series, you had screenwriters like Steve Kloves around to take all that mythology, and trim it away – so it’s there in the background, and lets the actual story play out in the foreground. Here, it’s almost as if the background is all there is.
Do I have hopes for this series still? Sure. There are still elements I quite like – the original creatures are more often than not delightful, I like Redmayne has the shy, quiet center of the film, and I like some of the supporting characters as well. Even Johnny Depp didn’t bother me as much here as he has in some of his more recent work, because he’s dialed back the strangeness to a more acceptable level. And maybe, now that the filmmakers and Rowling have spent so long setting everything up, they can finally get down to giving us what we actually want out of these movies
