Newt's ditzy charm grounded the first film and when he's allowed to lead this second story, it's as whimsical and good-hearted as any in the franchise.

At the center (when he's not been shunted aside by all those competing narratives), there's ostensible franchise star Eddie Redmayne as nervous magizoologist Newt Scamander. Mostly, 'The Crimes of Grindelwald' is hampered by the unwieldy meshing together of disparate plots that could service their own films (some of them surely better than others). It's a lot of time to fill, and while the second film in the franchise nudges its narrative forward, it's at the expense of a bloated, unfocused screenplay. Rowling's much-hyped followup series to 'Harry Potter,' a franchise that is at the mercy of slapdash planning (these films are cobbled together from various pieces of 'Wizarding World' material, not single novels) and the kind of higher-up decree that promised five films (five!) before the first one hit theaters. In it second outing, the cracks are starting to show in J.K. The second sequel in the fledgling spinoff follows a familiar pattern, but too many characters and too many storylines rob it of its most enduring charms Even magic takes a little bit of planning, and in David Yates' 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,' both are in short supply.
