I don't really understand why there are all of these detailed fields in this review system, so I'll just keep it simple. I think most of us who know the World of Harry Potter love it so much because J.K. Rowling has added so much texture and humanity to this place that is instantly familiar whilst wholly divergent. The characters are living, breathing people who have a past, feel the same emotions as we, and act based on their personal morality.

Fantastic Beasts appears to be a tale of Newt Scamander arriving in America around the turn of the century, but it's really more about read more

i liked this movie more than the harry potter movies. why? well my answer is twofold. first, i had read all the potter books and as such i found the movies a little lacking. it's not that they were bad but i literally knew every beat that was going to happen and other than cutting out stuff they didn't change anything. thus when watching the movies i found them a little un-affecting. with this movie i didn't know what was going to happen and it kept me surprised. it was well made and very well acted. it was funny, action packed, dramatic and romantic. it was also sad and it was somewhat read more

the franchise challenge - potter-verse essential 2010s movies fantastic beasts & where to find them: this is a wonderful film and a great start to this part of the potter-verse. newt, jacob et all are an excellent group of characters which i think ill grow to like. but its the “beasts” (more like amazing creatures) that give this film its wonder - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️&1/2 read more

a 135-minute movie with 90 minutes of content. this could have been a much better movie if they werent locked into that over 2-hour runtime. it felt like “well harry potter movies were much longer so lets try to hit that target!”  the cgi was honestly terrible in most of the scenes and it was odd because they were showing it off with such grandeur. then the cinematography reminded me that this was released in 3d and they were wasting time just to make the audience go “oooooooo” at a bad cgi beast almost hitting you in the face.  redmayne was so miscast (or maybe he was spot on, i dont know)... read more

this was actually a lighthearted fun enjoyable movie. for the most part it played on the craziness of magic and having a muggle being there to react to it helped that. it weakened a little late when they suddenly switched gears and made it dark as they went into sequel setup mode. i think just making standalone stories set in the wizarding world would be a better route than trying to create another multi-film arc. read more

when you're looking for big budget fantasy spectacle, in a family-friendly package, your choices are surprisingly slim if you also want said movie to be good. i avoid failed franchise starters like the plague. we all know miss peregrine's isn't going anywhere. the oh-so-edgy annals of ya fiction movies is practically a graveyard at this point. but here this is. fantastic beasts and where to find them. i feared it would be to harry potter what the hobbit movie was to the lord of the rings films, and my god how wrong i was. the movie is pleasantly familiar to the world j.k. rowling created for... read more

der film bedient sich an bekannten motiven und versucht das harry potter gefühl zu vermitteln, leider fehlen dem ganzen die sympathischen charaktere an denen man sich aufhängt und von denen man durch den film geleitet wird. eddie redmayne ist ja meistens ein super schauspieler, wirkt hier aber so unsympathisch und schaut fast immer irre daher, dass das mir das sehvergnügen deutlich gemindert hat... read more
