I'm a die hard Harry Potter fan and let me tell you, Fantastic Beasts did NOTHING for me. I felt there was a lot of untapped potential about the American magical world, and what we did see was very lacking or bland.

The characters were kind of brushed over, and I felt like I didn't really get to know Newt or his companions or even the villain, so I didn't really care about ANY of the characters. The magical duels and dangerous high stakes moments were lifeless to me because I felt the script made all of the characters safe, they all had way too much plot armor.

The CGI for the beasts was pretty fantastic, they were easily the best done part of the film. Mostly though, I was bored out of my mind.
