Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Not bad, great special effects and a decent follow on, sets it up for a third in the series, probably a must for Harry Potter fans.

Saw it last night, wanted to like it as I enjoyed the first one but thought this one fell well short (even as an installment episode) Very slow and disjointed and doesn't stand on its own as a film
Didn't help that it was in 3d which is a horrible dark format to watch at the cinema (where I have to pay for the privilege of cleaning glasses worn by someone who no doubt had some medical condition or questionable hygiene )

I actually avoid watching films in 3D. I find after an hour or so of watching that my eyes have gone funny and I'll be getting a headache. It's just a gimmick really, I prefer to be intrigued by the story and acting than distracted with bits and bobs popping out of the screen.

Have you tried DBox at Cineworld

Erm, no? What's that?

That’s the chairs that move and vibrate like a fairground ride while you’re sat in it watching the film!

A mate went to the cinema at the Metro Centre and paid about £25 for some posh seats where you get unlimited nachos and drinks and all that malarkey lol.

Enjoyed the Fantastic Beasts film. Wasn't sure for a good while but it had a strong last 30-40 minutes which redeemed it. There were quite a few Potter references which would have meant nothing if you haven't seen those films. It doesn't mean that you have to have seen them, it just means that the film gives you more if you have.

We watched Leave No Trace last night, really cracking little film, not for everyone but I’d still highly recommend it.

I could put this is random irritations but I wanted to see the Girl in the Spider's Web but after one week it has already been removed from my local Vue. Disappointing. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth travelling for or do I just wait for it to come on tv.

I’m a fully fledged fan, albeit more so the booms than movies which missed out far too much towards the end imo. But there were at lease a dozen references I spotted in this one. They also seemed more relevant to a plot than in the first one too.

I believe this series is going to last for 5 movies. I can kinda predict two major events that need to occur. And struggling to think of anything that would require there to be a 5th tbh.

How many screens has your local got?! Even my missus cinema with only 2 screens will keep a film for 2 weeks thanks to the use of digital copies.

Mine's got 8 (Epsom), 12 at Wimbledon, 15 at Kingston. Not on at any of them!

It disappeared like a rat up a drainpipe.

Do you have a cineworld or showcase near by? It would appear Odeon has pulled plug on it.

Possibly but then I have to pay; having shelled out for Limitless, and with that many screens, I'd hope to find it somewhere. 2 of those cinemas have found time to show 2.0 dubbed in Tamil...

The movie must have tanked then I guess. I can ask the missus if they’ve fully dropped it if ya like?

If you don't mind please, might be able to find it somewhere a little further away if they've still got it.

I think our has 9. A couple will be showing Fantastic Beasts, Bohemian Rhapsody is still going strong, Creed is out , The Grinch and some other stragglers. They've given Robin Hood a second week and that got slaughtered. It must have really bombed in terms of ticket sales if it was pulled after one week. A shame as the trailer looked great.

If you hear why please post, just for interest

My lad watched it and was totally underwhelmed...
