Warners is a bit late showing this in my market, so there are reviews aplenty already out there for this J.K. Rowling sequel.

Will I be the one to tip the Johnny Depp “Potterworld” picture into positive or negative territory?

I have been lukewarm on this whole Wizarding World of Movies, with only a couple of the films made by very good directors (Alfonso Cuaron and Mike Newell) sticking in the mind.

There’s too much “Let’s pause and admire that beautiful digital dragon or gryffon ” in these movies, endless populating of the “Fantastic Beasts” and too much appreciation of them to let the film’s sing. But we shall see what we see when we see it, right?
