    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

    The movie is so dark from the very beginning. (according to JK Rowling, the following movies are going to be even darker). I didn't find it enjoyable to watch for the following reasons: -The movie is not uplifting at all and almost comes across as a horror movie at some times -The main female character is extremely annoying to watch with her constant vacant expressions -The main male character mumbles way too much and tries too hard to be eccentric (never making eye contact with the person he is speaking to) -Didn't find the magical creatures very imaginative -Plot was not engaging and very confusing. I still don't really get what happened. Overall, quite a massive disappoint considering how wonderfully magical and hopeful the Harry Potter series was!

    It's kind of dark and serious, and it's only towards the end of the movie that all the details and clues come together to reveal the true story. The special effects are interesting and dramatic. There is subtle humor throughout the movie, especially provided by the creatures; but I laughed out-loud during the epilogue, where we learn about the character’s fate. My 12 year old granddaughter loved it, but I’m not sure if there is enough entertainment for younger children. I enjoyed the movie, and I’m looking forward to the next episode!

    I wanted to like it, because I love the Harry Potter movies, but I just didn't.

    What did I watched? Boring. Plot with not beginning or end. Some after effects is all.

    I was disappointed. It seemed weird from the get go. Plot is not really revealed. some of the effects are good. I would not go to a sequel and understand there are 6 more episodes to come. Bring back Harry

    Newt is a lovable eccentric whose loyalty to his creatures is heart warming, I just wish I got to know him better. Tina's character needs to be spiced up cause she is boring. Her sister Queenie and Jacob were absolutely endearing, poor Credence never had a chance. The cinematography and special effects were amazing, I felt like I was in NYC during the destruction. I am a HP superfan and enjoyed this movie even though there was little mention Hogwarts. I need to see more familiar characters from the past and Hogwarts in the sequels. I can't wait to meet the evil Grindelwald in the future, the tiny glimpse we got was not enough.
