I truly enjoyed this film, but that should not be surprising based on how much I've enjoyed all the other films and stories in this universe. The first and second parts of this collection I think were much stronger and stand on their own better, but this one is still fun and answers more questions. At times, the urgency of Grindelwald's menace doesn't seem emphasized quite as much as it should be after what happened in part two, but the mysteriousness and back story of Albus Dumbledore makes up for it. That being said, this film doesn't make any sense without having seen the first two films. But the visuals and adventuring would probably still be exciting. The overall atmosphere here is somber. And I like that, given the nature of what's going on in the story. Mads Mikkelsen, Jude Law, and Eddie Redmayne are all so good.
