About this deal

I'm not anti-LGBT, but I AM against the whole wave of political correctness that's going on, and I feel that this decision was absolutely unnecessary. Naturally, you’ll want to add Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore to your DVD and Blu-ray collection. More often than not, when the main character is replaced in a sequel by another actor, box office and critical praise go down. Yates has served his time, although considering he's only helmed one non-Potter movie in the same ensuing years (2016's The Legend of Tarzan), maybe he's just as reluctant to walk away from this universe. It's a bit different tonally, and perhaps it's time to let Newt tend to his animals off-screen, much like what has happened to Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), the co-lead of the other movies, casually "staying home.

There are about 77 minutes of bonus material that include cast and crew interviews and some on-set footage on how they made the film. The few times this 'romance' was discussed was through Dumbledore reminiscing of their choice to run away together and killing his sister on accident over the choice angering his brother and the introduction scene in the restaurant that was a dream, making the forbidden romance seemingly dead in the water, and making the blood pact seem pointless aside from being an unnecessary plot device for why Dumbledore can't do more to aid Newt and friends, which is ALSO circumvented when Dumbledore continuously helps out in numerous ways of defying Grindelwald, an act (and even the mere thought of acting on it) that should've strangled Dumbledore to death repeatedly if the story paid attention to itself. Fantastic Beasts 3' Critics: Mads Mikkelsen Is Better Than Johnny Depp and 'Should've Been Cast From the Start' ". The entire movie is hinging on this little creature making its opinion known, so why not guard it better if it's so integral to their foundation of wizarding governance (warning: animal cruelty early)? After being convinced that Grindelwald will make her dream of marrying Jacob come true, she went rogue and joined his side, eventually abandoning her lover and sister.

Secondly, there was a scene where Grindelwald kills a baby Qilin (a mythical creature that looks like a deer with scales) by first pretending to show it affection and then unexpectedly slicing its throat. Reaching out for help from an industry veteran used to adapting Rowling's imagination is a smart move, but the movie still suffers like the previous Fantastic Beast movie from a plot overburdened with incident and less on substance, willfully obtuse and convoluted in its plotting. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is a 2022 fantasy film directed by David Yates from a screenplay by J.

This is made more confusing because of that prologue flashback where Grindelwald had the face of Mikkelsen, so I guess he just chose to hang as Depp for a while. This is a fantasy world with crazy characters and weird rules and I can't adequately explain why this whole plot point with a magic deer wrings so silly and ridiculous for me. The film's official trailer was officially released on 13 December 2021, with a teaser poster being released the following week. This release comes with an exquisite Dolby Atmos track that falls in line with its previous release both in the Harry Potter World and the Fantastic Beasts realm. New 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' Trailer Teases the Fight Against Grindelwald (Video)".That's all I can gather as what might constitute a "secret of Dumbledore," although allow me to posit a different theory why the third movie has this subtitle. Grindelwald vows to destroy the Muggle world, but Dumbledore denounces the plan as madness, saying he once supported it only because he was young and foolish.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore feels, front to back, like a filler movie, a story that is rambling and haphazard (but on purpose! and a franchise that has outgrown its initial parameters and is struggling to explain why these adventures are persisting and what the overall appeal would be. However, Newt explains that since, for plot reasons, Mads can see shortly into the future, he’ll see them coming, so they can only win by finding some way to… confuse him. Maybe it's time for Rowling to gracefully open her storytelling sandbox for others to dabble within.The story does not acknowledge or explain the change in Grindelwald's appearance between films, which Mikkelsen described as a "deliberate" choice.

The biggest blunder I have with this film is the approach to romance, particularly between Grindelwald and Dumbledore.He holds a blood pact with Grindelwald, with whom he was in love and had a close relationship as a young adult, preventing them from duelling each other.
