I just hope that the third one is better as I've always found this part of the HP history fascinating and would love to see that legendary duel play out on screen with the last one.

&WTFT was definitely more creature based, with some human drama sprinkled in, but the 2nd took a SHARP turn into the Grindelwald stuff with the 2nd movie... which ultimately isn't the problem. The problem is that JK Rowling was basically like

[Show spoiler]oh everybody loved HP vs Voldemort so I'll just rehash the relevant details I've already given in the HP series and needlessly draw it out into 5 movies using the same evil wizard vs good wizard war plot device. But it's just not been as good as HP and never will live up to it.

If that's the route she wanted to take, then still calling this Fantastic Beasts is misleading. WB should have dropped that as a franchise name just went by the 2nd title instead. I was more interested in the creatures than the direction they've decided to go in.

I forgot this was even coming out honestly, it's been so long due to COVID. I'll still watch it because I'm invested but I'm not expecting it to be great like I used to. They really need to get 4 and 5 out asap, but they haven't even started writing 4th yet apparently?
