The Crimes of Grindlewald had me thoroughly confused in more than one way. First there's the threat of Grindlewald, who seems a much bigger villain than Voldemort ever was but somehow didn't make it as the arch nemesis of Dumbledore and the crew. By himself, he could have turned this movie in a kind of magical James Bond story. But no they had to throw in at least 5 other plotlines, some of which magically disappear before the end of the story. The amount of loose ends you're, left with are enough to start a Game of Thrones like tv series. Speaking of GoT, the end of CoG is just as rushed. Instead of an epic fight between Grindlewald and his former beau, Dumbledore there is a lot of blue fire and.. a Chinese dragon? What is this, Pokémon? What happened with the great revolution? Did it fizzle out like all those blue flames? Also, apparently Grindlewald gave up and died in 1995 in Austria. So nothing happened? They didn't go after him? He didn't try anything again? The intricate politics behind the escape of Grindlewald and the struggle between pure blood (read Aryan) extremists and the moderates isn't explained further. Apparently all was well until some other three bit evil wizard unsuccessfully tried to take over a school.
