No magic for me

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2017)

I guess my expectation was a bit high, so I was disappointed.
The movie spent a lot of time showing how Newt capture escaped creatures. Why is this wizard so incompetent that so many creatures managed to escape?
Also, perhaps in the tradition of Harry Potter, this Newt character is played by an actor with the same blank expression throughout the entire movie. This guy isn't particularly cute. Is there a reason this actor was chosen, or have they run out of good actors with British accent?
The special effects was pretty good, except in one scene where Newt was petting a creature, it looked as if the creature was added on later.
The story was so-so. I don't particularly like the main character Newt. The fact that there was very little character development may add to this feeling.
The female co-star isn't particularly attractive, but at least she has more facial expressions.
For some reason, there is no feeling of watching a magical movie. It feel as if I'm just watching a bunch of CGI clips.
I'd rather re-watch an early episode of Harry Potter than this movie.
