Enjoy.:thumbsup:tonight!!!!!
The two sidekicks, Jacob and Queenie, steal the movie. Queenie probably enters the canon of "Nerd Dream Girls" right behind Slave Leia.
A more bittersweet ending for a Potter movie than I anticipated. While nothing inappropriate for kids--well, the execution chamber was legit terrifying--does show this is more of an adult movie.
Not sure I see the point in the Depp reveal, I just assumed Graves would be Grindlewald's Darth Vader going forward. Does put a twist on earlier scenes. Was that a tinge of jealousy when he asked about Dumbledore's interest in Newt?
Probably coincidence but the second half of the movie centers around Macys, the subway entrance in front of the NY Library and a bar--all three can be found within a couple hundred feet of one another in Universal Orlando.

4 out of 5, solid movie that had some generic blockbuster stuff at the end but there was emotion tied to it so it worked. Personally it's a 5 out of 5 cuz I'm a nerd.
That execution chamber was insane, couldn't believe the other witches who were like "it'll be painless" or something. So I guess the execution chamber is a giant pensive that then consumes you as you remember your past?
If they didn't announce Depp as Grindelwald I'd have flipped at that reveal not just because it was Depp but because we wouldn't have been on that path mentally. Note the parallels between Sorcerer/Philosopher Stone reveal and this reveal; one sort of semi-menacing antagonist revealed to physically be the main bad guy. And I bet if I rewatch I'll pick up more like the jealousy.
I honestly have no idea if this is going to come to theme parks but I'd rather it not replace Mummy or an existing attraction...
The inevitable menagerie scene goes on way too long
Weak, sure. Still a great movie (I saw it last night).Opened to 8.75M in previews. That's pretty weak and lower than Doctor Strange. I'm seeing the movie in an hour, hopefully it's good.

It's not one of the better Potter movies
