The Harry Potter prequel trilogy reaches its conclusion, and not a moment too soon. The megabudget on impressive FX and sets is really the key selling point, because the cursory storyline of Hogwarts going after the villain Grindelwald, Mads Mikkelsen now replacing Johnny Depp in the role without any explanation doesn't justify the running time of well over two hours. As usual, wands, surely the crappest weapon in sci-fi or fantasy. are wielded endlessly like ersatz guns and there are more weird and wonderful mythical creatures to behold. But it's a terrible waste of good actors and time. Surely even the kids are bored by now.
