Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Imthenoob — 23 Nov 2016

It's great to jump back into the series after a few years absence. Really enjoyed the main cast, Specifically Farrell and Redmayne. Shout out to Dan Fogler, He gave a much better performance than I expected and really had a lovable character. I thought Ezra Miller was by far the weakest part of the cast, Mainly due to how his character was written and not acted. Plot wise is was a little bit basic but there was enough action and plot twists to keep you interested in for the full run time. It's a very beautiful and well directed/edited film. I wish they tried more variety among spell use rather than the same 3-4 spells over and over again but that's just me.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. I had no real issue with the movie and can't wait to see the second one. Certainly lived up to expectations as a spin off and more than lived up to the hype.
