Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore [Movie Review] | I am not an avid reader of Harry Potter, but I enjoyed the movies so it is kinda by default that I have to watch Fantastic Beasts too.
Who doesn't love a beautiful world of fantasy like the Wizarding World, right?

Newt helps a Qilin, a magical creature give birth. When the newborn arrives, Credence and a group of Grindelwald's followers fight him. The group fatally wound the mother and kidnap the newborn.
Newt return to the dying Qilin mother heartbroken, only to find out that there's another newborn - the Qilin had twins. The mother passes and Newt bring the newborn home.
Credence presents the newborn to Grindelwald. Grindelwald held the newborn before slits its throat in order to see the future via the blood of the Qilin. It seems that the blood of the Qilin can be used to see the future.
Meanhile, Dumbledore recruits Newt and his brother, Theseus, Professor Lally, wizard Yusuf Kama and Newt's best muggle friend, Jacob to assist him to cripple Grindelwald's plan for world domination.
Yusuf Kama is tasks to become a spy within Grindelwald's circle, but it seems that he wants to really be in the circle and turns his back on Dumbledore's plan.
The others arrives in Berlin to witness the naming of candidates for the office of Supreme Mugwump. Theseus is captured and the team has new missions - to save Theseus and foil an assassination of a candidate, planned by Grindelwald.
Grindelwald, who is now acquitted of all criminal charges also runs for the office. While Newt attempts to release Theseus from the wizarding prison of Berlin, Jacob and Lally manages to foil the assassination. But Grindelwald twists the story by framing Jacob for the attempted murder - making the motion for the Wizarding World to collaborate/ co-exist with the Muggle seems even further and impossible to obtain.
Credence is sent to murder Dumbledore but failed. It seems that Credence is actually the illegitimate son of his brother, Aberforth.
In order for his plan for world domination to work, Grindelwald brings back the dead Qilin to live. And when he learns that there is another Qilin that Newt rescues, he puts all effort to either kill everyone within Dumbeldore's circle or foil the plan to bring the Qilin during the election of the new Supreme Mugwump.
Why is the Qilin important to everyone? Can they foil Grindelwald's plan when he has the power to see the future?
MY REVIEW
Plot: 4.8/ 5.0 I was fixated to the screen for the whole 142 minutes of the movie. There were so many problems that the group need to solve - so many exciting subplots. It was beautifully crafted - no draggy scenes and the actions were powerful!
Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 There is no complaint whatsoever - everyone was superb!
Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again. The journey was great!
The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
