Not a bad movie, not a good movie.

Rating: 5/10 (13 March 2018)

This movie was made for the potterheads,. If you aren't already invested in this universe, you're not going to enjoy this movie as much as those in the fandom. Not to say that you're not going to enjoy this mediocre clichefest - you're just less likely to do.
The Effects - The effects are decent, but nowhere near as good as they thought they were. There is a scene where a bunch of wizards spend like 3 minutes repairing a city whose only purpose serves to show off the effects and help bloat the runtime. Some of the effects were pretty good, but there were a few that looked very bad.
The Plot - This movie is too long and full of too many boring subplots. The main plot, though as painfully cliche as all the subplots, is decent. This movie probably would've been better if they stuck to the main storyline and cut out some of the nonsense (even though its jumpstarted by an infuriating suitcase and makes next to no logical sense).
The Characters - Most of the characters are stupid. A lot of them have potential, but they act like complete morons. If more of them acted intelligently, this movie could've been a bit more fun.
Comedy - This movie is actually pretty funny when it isn't boring or confusingly stupid. There are a lot of good sight gags and funny situations (though some of the funniest bits are in the trailer).
The Creatures - I liked a lot of the CG creatures. The designs were nice and these things had presences in the movie. Some of them looked better than others, but for the most part these things were creative.
Logic - As you get to a certain point in this movie, you start to notice that almost every thing that a character does contradicts something else that happens in the movie. Anything that gets established is later ignored. Its infuriating how almost nothing makes any sense. If you actually think, you'll realize that according to logic nothing that happened in this movie should've happened. If this movie made more sense, Newt would've never even stayed in New York, and we could've had a movie where he hung around Arizona.
