Would have loved for these movies to lead into WWII. I have to wonder if that’s where they were headed. Would love a Wizard World War movie.

I think this is one of the first times I really disagree with your conclusions about how good a movie is. I don't think this is a bad movie at all, and I can see how it would also be better if you're new to the Harry Potter universe. But for me it's a little hard to get past the clear fan-service motives of trying to connect it to Harry potter in as many ways as possible, and the virtual ret-conning of things from the Harry Potter books (though I don't remember the books well enough on this rewatch to speak to that).
The first movie was far better to me because it wasn't afraid to be different and to tell a different story from Harry Potter. But this one is kind of just jamming a bunch of Harry Potter characters in, and co-opting Newt's story into a Dumbledore vs. Grindelwald story. My biggest criticism is probably the inclusion of Nagini. There was no reason that we needed that tie-in, and honestly I don't see any benefit to humanizing something that eventually turns into just an evil snake and horcrux. I also feel like a lot of the character choices in the movie feel pretty shallow and forced, like Credence and Queenie joining Grindelwald. I'm not opposed to the idea, I just don't think we were shown enough character development for those decisions to actually make sense. It feels very much like it was forced writing for the sake of creating a twist or trying to make the story interesting.
That all said, especially after having several years of distance, I don't think this was a bad movie. I mostly just disagree with the direction and think that the writing is a bit sloppy and pandering at times, but it still has a lot going for it, and the core story is somewhat compelling. It definitely didn't deserve the insanely low ratings it has.

One thing about Rotten Tomatoes: the score on there isn't what people graded the movie. The percentage listed is of how many reviews on the site are positive. So people weren't giving it 36 out of 100 but rather only 36% of the reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes site were positive ones.

I think you guys touched on a big issue with these movies at the very end which is that Newt and his friends are weird choices to be the heroes of the story of fighting Grindelwald. In the first one it made sense because it really was just happenstance that he happened to be there when Grindelwald was making his move but Grindelwald used that to his advantage, he saw a scapegoat and went for it and thus Newt had to clear his name. But by continuing with him as the hero when we know from the Harry Potter books and movies that Dumbledore is ultimately the one to take down Grindelwald, it just kind of makes them feel so disconnected from everything going on. It would be like a retelling of Harry Potter vs Voldemort where Harry isn't getting involved and instead is just sending some random person from the Quidditch team to fight him instead.

I think that was my problem too. I mean yea they're great movies but the first was a newt Movie, this one and the next are basically Dumbledore movies with Newt as a supporting character. I thought these were supposed to be movies about fantastical beasts not dumbeldore. If they wanted a movie series about dumbledore then make one.

My biggest issue with this movie is just that there’s too much going on. There’s so many cool ideas for the story but cramming them all together means nothing gets enough time to develop. We have
-Newt and Tina
-Newt and Leta
-Newt and his brother
-Queenie and Jacob
-Queenie turning dark
-Credence and Nagini
-The Lestrange family history
-Dumbledore and Grindewald’s past
It’s just too damn much and as a result a lot of the characters feel more like plot devices. Like Yusuf isn’t a character at all, he’s just there to deliver a bunch of exposition at the end but we don’t know anything about him so why do we care? Same thing with Nagini, why is she even here? All she does is follow Credence around, she’s not her own character and she didn’t even have to be Nagini, it just feels like pointless fan service. Even our main characters feel way less human and lived in . Tina and Queenie don’t even interact in this one and even Newt and Jacob’s bromance feels watered down. For me the first movie was way simpler and that let everything flow so much better. We were just watching Newt, Tina, Jacob and Queenie running around catching the creatures and outwitting the bad guys. None of that fun is here and instead we just get a convoluted mess of a story.

The low reviews for this one didn't have much to do with JK Rowling's bigotry because, while there were hints at this point, it was really 2020 when she fully took the mask off and revealed how gross of a human she is. That said, there was criticism of making Nagini an Asian woman because of the trope of depicting people of color as animals and in this case specifically, eventually she'd become a literal pet of a white guy.

I absolutely despise what this movie did to Queenie, she went from one of the best characters to the absolute worst. She was nothing but kind and sweet in the first movie and this one starts with her magically roofieing her boyfriend (and if the genders were swapped more people would be calling out how messed up that is). In the first movie she seems vapid on the surface but she’s actually a lot more than that and she uses people’s perception of her as a dumb blonde to her advantage. In this one she just IS a dumb blonde. Like she’s a grown-ass woman with magical powers and she’s breaking down on literally her first day in Paris because she can’t find her sister. It’s so beyond stupid. I really like the idea of her turning to Grindewald’s side because of her desperation to change the laws and be happy but it needed WAY more time to develop.

I have to really disagree about the Queenie breaking down scene. As an autistic person, the way that was done with her also being massively overstimulated by all of the thoughts of the people around her was actually kind of beautiful and super relatable. I'm not saying she's supposed to be autistic, but it really played like an autistic meltdown, something that's massively misunderstood and judged by most people, and I kind of love it for that. There is nothing lesser about a person having an emotional meltdown. It doesn't make her less of an adult like you imply it does, and it's frankly a little bit insensitive and discriminatory to trivialize her emotions like you do.

I genuinely apologize for any insensitivity in my comment. I don’t feel like I articulated my point well. I actually really like your reading of that scene and I felt like it could have worked better if it was built up to more. My issue is that everything before that specific moment where she’s overwhelmed by everyone else’s thoughts just doesn’t feel like it makes any emotional sense for her character. The implication is that she just got to Paris with her asking the French ministry if they’ve seen Tina so she can’t have been looking for her for more than a day, if that. And her seeing Jacob briefly before losing track of him is clearly meant to be upsetting for her. I like the idea of her mind reading being the straw that breaks the camel’s back and finally leads to her breaking down and that’s when Grindelwald preys on her, when she’s vulnerable. My issue is that I felt like it would have worked way better if she’d been in Paris for maybe a few days with no luck of finding Tina and if she wasn’t so clearly in the wrong in regards to Jacob (again with the magical roofieing). What I meant when I referenced her age is that it felt like the movie was infantilizing her by making her dangerously boy crazy in a way she wasn’t in the last movie and in that she couldn’t handle being in an unfamiliar country for even less than a day.

If I recall Bellatrix Lestrange was born in the Black family, Sirius' cousin, and she took her husband's last name (Rodolphus Lestrange), who was never important enough to be more than a cameo in the movies. They both loved Voldy more than each other anyway and it was just a "pure-blood marriage". I must assume Rodolphus, not Bellatrix, is descended of Leta's relatives, but this slipped my mind my first watch and it truly painted Leta a certain way since being mentioned in the first film as "part of that family."
The first movie is just as good as my first time, easily my favorite.
This 2nd one was quite fine my first time but I found the Corvus plot confusing then. But it's easier to follow this time knowing it was a red herring. Also creating a potential retroactive new Dumbledore makes some nerds upset at first, guilty as charged.
However, I think the 3rd was more politically convoluted and boring compared to the first 2 but I didn't hate it, it just failed to connect compared to these.

So my understanding is that men didn’t like Neet as a main role because he was too soft and not very manly.
This isn’t the only reason of course but he is a very different type of hero compared to many action heros

So, to add to the whole Depp and Rowling controversy, a lot of fans also didn't like the inclusion of McGonagall as a professor because according to the original books, the fans guessed her being born in the 1930s (she tells Umbridge that she taught for 39 years in the books). Dumbledore was a Transfiguration professor, not Defence Against the Dark Arts. At the time many found Credence being a Dumbledore very confusing and sooo unexplained. Many thought that Queenie was too easily swayed as she could read Grindelwald's mind (Rowling said in an interview that Grindelwald was hiding his true intentions using Occlumency - the same thing Snape used to conceal his thoughts from Voldemort). Some even claimed that Dumbledore became gay just because of convenience, but there are hints of this in the books and Rowling confirmed this herself waaaay before Fantastic Beasts. Overall I think people were simply losing interest in the story. Personally, the first Fantastic Beasts is my second most favorite Wizarding World movie. This one is great and didn't deserve the hate at all, but it's way more confusing. By the way, these aren't based on books. Rowling wrote the screenplay for the movies and she isn't the best movie writer. She was planning on a 5 movie-long story, but the interest wasn't there and she tried to wrap most of it up in the next one (which is by far the worst movie of this whole franchise in my opinion).

Dumbledore did "become" gay, but before this movie. The same way Hermione became black. Rowling had a tendency to ret-con her writing to try to appear more inclusive, as though she always was. I didn't have any issues with the idea of Dumbledore being gay, but the allusions were a pretty strong reminder about how fake Rowling was, which left a bad taste in my mouth. There's no shame in just owning that you didn't have the foresight to include a lot of diversity when you wrote something, but pretending you did, and ret-conning your story in a way that's contradictory to some of your previous writing is not the way to do things.

Grindelwald isn’t playing Queenie. He’s being honest. The thing about Grindelwald is he’s not like Voldemort. Voldemort wanted to wipe out all muggles. Grindelwald is a far more nuanced character in that he wants to unite the muggle and magical worlds into one civilization. In his world the muggles would be second class citizens but it would be completely legal to marry them as a magical person. That’s why people follow him. They believe in the cause and love him whereas most of Voldemort’s followers joined because they were scared of him with the exception of the Lestranges, Barty Crouch Jr and some others. Tbh I’d join Grindelwald in a second whereas I’d tell Voldemort to go fuck himself.

Tbh I’d join Grindelwald in a second whereas I’d tell Voldemort to go fuck himself.
100% love it
i cried when i saw this and cried again when watching you guys reaction
i neeed the next movieeee NOOWWWWWWW
i was shocked liked u guys when i first watched it and found out credence was a Dumbledore lol
Damn Boom, I literally choked on my gatorade when you said fuckin women am I right fellas. 🤣 I took a sip at the wrong time.
Can you guys like make a compilation of Nerf Gun Gong shots? Because I’m trying to find the videos of when the Dadt ricochets off the gong and nearly hits you guys in the face! Also, I just think it would be funny. Also the video was really good! Can’t wait for Fantastic Beasts 3! Should be a fun time!
of what I can watch of the reaction it was great! personal issues makes it so I cant watch after the popcorn comes in I cant stand the sound of chewing, or watching someone eat while watching reactions and such, no hate on you guys, just personal issue, I will probably not be watching future movie reactions just incase because it is a dissapointed feeling one gets only watching partway through one, but I will say I hope you all enjoy all future movies you watch! again I am not holding anything against you guys for eating popcorn, I like eating popcorn while watching movies as well, just for some reason I can't explain I cant stand others doing it.
so great reaction, shame I cant finish it, but I am sure the rest is up to the same high standard of quality all of you guyses reactions usually are!
the shared coffee moment at 9:36 ish is going into my fan fic
“The only respectable Hufflepuff!” Cedric Diggory was a Hufflepuff…..
It's funny because statistically they should like Hufflepuff a lot because they seem to like all the Hufflepuffs that were presented to them so far. 2 for 2.
Voldemort didnt respect Cedric , why would i?
Are you……are you siding with magic Hitler?
so side note for you guys the next film takes place during the trial so hope this gives you some warning about why he got replaced.
yessssssssss i love u guys for doing thissss one and the rest of them , harry potter fans live on <3
Please react to mummy 2 next
I'll just keep recommending Balls of Fury with Dan Fogler who playes Jacob Kowalski. I think you guys will love that movie!
I have been waiting for this so glad it’s finally here
This is going to be great also guys if you're reading this last night's live stream was awesome I wish I could have stayed for the whole thing have a good day everyone and all the Billy's
