Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Kate W — 30 Dec 2016
"Fantastic Beasts" is entertaining and funny. It also has that darker tone we've seen in the late Harry Potter films. It was a bit odd to me that that amount of humor and darkness was able to fit in one movie, but it did and the film balanced it very well.
I loved Eddie in the role of Newt, I think Kowalski was nicely done, presenting a window to their world. However, the Creedence sub-plot was the thing I didn't like one bit. I'm really sad that the sub-plot became THE plot in the third act.
It looked ridiculous and plain dull, with the clishe mass distruction. This movie, to me, just didn't bring the magic back.
