I wanted to love this so much, but it just felt... Empty. The characters didn't connect at all and the Fantastic Beasts themselves felt like an afterthought to the franchise they're actually trying to build. Overall a watchable movie with some charming moments but damaged by a muddy story and atrocious pacing. I expected more from the HP universe.

Not quite as fantastic as I hoped it would be... in fact at times it was downright boring. Sometimes the film falls flat, the actors (or characters) not always connecting in an interesting way. There is scope for the franchise, Newt is an interesting character but Redmayne (who I think is a great actor) played him too low key and that didn't work for me. However, I will probably watch it again. The story gets more interesting as it progresses but not as magical as I thought it would. AND... Johnny Depp, I love you, I really do... but gone are the days when a cameo by you in a pivotal role is a surprise, its just tired filmmaking.

[4.6/10] When the word came out that J.K. Rowling was not only going to write a film based on her very brief, storyless, enjoyable trifle of a book, *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*, but that there would be an entire trilogy, I wasn’t especially concerned. While there is barely enough in More

Hats have to come off here to Eddie Redmayne. I reckon he must have spent virtually all of the filming days staring at a green screen reacting to CGI. That's my problem with this. Though set in a fantasy world, there's nothing remotely authentic about it. Not his "Newt Scamander" character, nor the More

Struggles desperately to be three movies at once: One about Pokemon, one about proto-Voldemort and one (uncharacteristically dark story) about child abuse. But none of these three movies are bad movies so _Fantastic Beasts_ gets a pass from me.

I was particularly fond of the degree to which it t More

I must say I was expecting to like it, and I really liked it despite the few generic moments throughout the film.

Can watch again/10.
