The first thing that you should keep in mind when
watching “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is that it is just the
beginning of the story – a bloom that has not yet blossomed into a flower –
just like its many characters that have only started to reveal themselves but
have not yet unleashed their full potential. This way you will save yourself
from the disappointment and dissatisfaction of having no answers or
explanations for some of the shenanigans that take place in the second film. I
have already seen it three times and with each time I fell more and more in
love with it. I would recommend everyone – especially those of you who didn’t like
it – to watch it at least one more time. It is definitely worth it, if only for
the sheer epic-ness, beauty, scale and magic that it is. And the pace! It is a
wild ride indeed. I imagine that what it would feel like to ride one of those
creatures from Newt’s suitcase. I honestly feel like I’m back in the good old Harry
Potter days of scavenging for clues, tugging at hidden threads and weaving them
into theories. There are so many possibilities to consider and they are all so very
exciting! One could write thick volumes based on those alone - and that's saying something. The game is on
again! If you know J.K. Rowling, you know that nothing is ever what it seems when
it comes to her creations – whether by book or film – and that there are definitely
answers and explanations waiting for you at the end. Your patience will be
rewarded – never fear! Jo always has a plan as well as a mind-blowing
revelation or ten up her sleeve. I cannot way for those! In the meantime, I’m
going to re-watch all the trailers and catch up on all the interviews that I’ve
missed while trying to avoid spoilers. I distanced myself so much from
everything surrounding the new film that when I watched it for the first time I
understood that I was completely unprepared for it. I was shocked and confused
and couldn’t quite tell whether I liked it or not. However, I know better now.
I am a fan and I can’t wait to know the whole story. I can’t wait to see more
of all these new characters: Newt, Tina, Jacob, Queenie, Theseus, Leta (?),
Nagini, Credence, Yusuf. I want to get to know them better and I hope that the
next parts will provide me with many an opportunity to do so. However, my biggest
wish is to see more of Dumbledore and to learn more about Grindelwald and…
Aurelius?
