After the premiere, first social media reactions to the film are out. Here are just a few of them:
Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell wrote, “#FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore is an improvement on the sequel, even if it only fleetingly recaptures the magic. Mads Mikkelsen is a huge upgrade, but the MVP is Jessica Williams’s Lally. It’s just overstuffed and unsure if it’s a Beasts film or a Harry Potter film.”
Collider contributor Peri Nemiroff stated the movie is a “big bounce back” for the franchise. “Back to having fun with the group dynamic & caring about the primary mission. A lil skinny right here & there however a FAR extra participating journey than the final. Dan Fogler continues to be a favourite … and the Niffler,” she added.
ThePlaylist’ Griffin Schiller credited the movie’s co-screenwriter Steve Kloves (the opposite screenwriter is Rowling himself) for “miraculously” salvaging a sinking ship with The Secrets of Dumbledore, however added that “it doesn’t fully fix the larger issues with the series . Still, by far the best of the 3. The series feels FUN again. The layers of Dumbledore are peeled back & explored in interesting ways. Had a good time!”
Looper’s Xandra Harbet wrote, “#SecretsOfDumbledore is a magical menagerie of homages to the Potter movies, boasting a brand new slate of wondrous creatures and mythos. @FantasticBeasts 3 rectifies followers’ largest qualms with FB2, providing solutions, groundbreaking moments, & epic battles on this love letter to misfits.”
