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.

@r_lewis I agree. It was a nice movie (beautiful CGI) but the story/plot was not on par with the HP franchise.

@regulusblack Just caught an advanced screening. You will absolutely love it! Lay off news related to the movie until you watch it if you want your mind blown in the theatre.

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.

@faithful Have just watched the film again, liked it better second time around, and have more optimism for the sequels.

Who knew a movie about Harry Potter monsters could be this boring?

Fantastic films, and where to find them... Well i've found one, and it was magical. Some great work from, David Yates and he's brought the magic world from harry potter films back.. right in the childhood feels if you were born from the 90's This action packed all new start of a franchises film has lots of magical things to show... like easter eggs, comedy, mysterious, cute beasts, an abnormal suit case... and much more for you to find out for yourself with just a flick of a wand... This picture that follows a great cast with some magic effects is gonna leave you with happy, and sad emotions... Bring on the next 4 films!

i used to be a hardcore hp fan once. mostly grew out of it a few years back, but i don't think that connection can be fully severed. this movie stands strong on its own while still subtly nudging your hp related nostalgia. interesting, engaging, neatly crafted and full of rich characters. not gonna lie, my expectations going into this were pretty low, cause i suspected this was just another unnecessary money grabbing expansion that hollywood's so fond of, and the cursed child, another addition to the universe, has certainly been a major disappointment for me, so, save to say, i've been pleasantly surprised by this. i'm definitely curious to see what the future installments of this franchise have in store for us.

I was really looking forward to this movie but was utterly disappointed. The story was just flat and didn't really connect well. At least there were a few funny moments and the soundtrack as well as effects were great. The actors were not that good and most of the story was predictable – so no surprises as with the original Harry Potter franchise.

It seems like two movies combined. One about this guy having to recover his missing pets and another about solving the mystery of what's causing chaos in New York. The two aren't particularly connected.
The result it's a fun a wonderfully magical movie that feels a little bit empty the more you think about it. I wished it was actually about Newt traveling the world discovering creatures; instead, he tells amazing stories about his travels that we never get to see.
