Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Whatever12345 — 18 Nov 2016

This movie doesn't live up to the expectations of the first Harry Potter movies but it's fun. Visuals are great and interesting however movie suffers from the lack of the self identity. It wants to be a movie for kids at the beginning but then it turns in a dark story which was quite unsettelling.

As if you wanted to see a lighthearted fantasy movie about sorcery but the tone shifts to the last two HP movies in the end and leaves you with a strange feeling of "well you could avoid that and this and it would be still a great movie".

I also had a hard time finding likable characters except Colin Farrell - the only guy who really did a great job here. Other characters were pretty weak and didn't deserve much attention. Overall it is a good but overhyped movie that worth watching.
