Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

[Opens April 15 in theaters.] Awesome special effects, cinematography, costumes, and creatures dominate David Yates' entertaining, convoluted, action-packed, unevenly paced, humor-dotted, star-studded (Katherine Waterston, Ezra Miller, Richard Coyle, Alison Sudol, Oliver Masucci, Poppy Corby-Tuech, Fiona Glascott, Hebe Beardsall, Claudia Kim, David Wong, and Aleksandr Aleksandrovich), 142-minute film with a weak plot in which Professor Dumbledore (Jude Law) joins forces with a briefcase-carrying magizoologist (Eddie Redmayne), wizards (Callum Turner and William Nadylam), witches (Jessica Williams and Victoria Yeates), and a lovestruck Muggle baker (Dan Fogler) to protect a mystical creature when powerful dark wizard Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) tries to take control of the wizarding world.
