FantasticBeastsTheSecretsofDumbledore has a good story to tell, if only it would stop introducing new concepts and characters long enough to do so.
If there’s one thing Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore makes abundantly clear, it’s this: The Wizarding World is a confusing place.
In order to challenge Grindelwald, however, Dumbledore will need to confront the sins of his family’s past and his relationship with the dark wizard, with whom he shares a powerful bond since their teenage years together. On the familiar side, corrupt government officials, rigged elections, and the weaponization of nationalism and xenophobia by right-wing extremists all factor into Grindelwald’s ascension. He’s also aided by various loopholes in international magical law, and some elements governing the power structure of the Wizarding World that conveniently play to Newt’s strengths.
The general sense of confusion that fills The Secrets of Dumbledore isn’t enough to outshine some fine performances by the cast. Although it’s understandable that Newt would grow more acclimated to the world over time, it’s a bit disappointing to see the insecurities and quirks that made Redmayne’s portrayal of him so unique replaced by a more traditional hero role.
Taking over the part of Grindelwald after Johnny Depp’s departure from the franchise, Mikkelsen doesn’t miss a beat. Not only does he give the dark wizard an unsettling charisma that makes him an entertaining-but-threatening foil for Newt and his pals, but his chemistry with Law also sells the relationship between Grindelwald and Dumbledore that’s such a big part of this chapter in the saga.
