Firestarter (2022)
The problem with this movie is that it feels like it was made for a different audience. The acting is good, but the story is not. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. It’s just okay.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
The Fantastic Beasts movies have been less than fantastic so it’s little wonder that this instalment is likely to be the final entry in the series.
