Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore; With each successive movie this franchise gets less interesting, more annoying and needlessly convoluted. Who are they making these films for? Rowling may be able to write a book, but she’s miserable at screenplays; D+

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald; Interesting enough, despite some odd cuts and transitions. Visual effects are top notch and the cast has fun with their roles, even if their motivations seem absent or irrelevant. A mixed bag but enjoyable to a degree; B

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them; Transformers level . Same production quality as Potter series w/no characters worth caring about; C+

Free Birds

Free Birds; Offensive on so many levels, the worst of which is how criminally not funny it is. Only Takei and Poehler escape unsullied; F
