Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Aaron M — 18 Dec 2016
It has some magical, sweet moments, but, overall, "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" is a dull, Harry Potter prequel that fails to bring something new to the table. The CGI is okay, but distracting, especially when it comes to the monster at the end.
The stakes weren't set as high enough as the previous installments since it had too many storylines to tackle. As of result, it made the film a long, dreadful experience. I wished the storyline didn't derail from rescuing animals to hunting down a psychopath that's been causing mayhem across New York because they didn't blend well together.
Hopefully the filmmakers learn from this mistake as they continue making sequels.
