About magic, without magic

Rating: 3/10 (14 March 2017)

First of all it is sad to see that so many people rated this movie 10/10. Why? Have you not seen anything any better in your life? It is really hard to believe and I hope this is not the case. Or are you just a paid service for the film industry?
Second, let's assume that this movie was intended for kids. Targeted age group like 8-14, maybe? Fair guess? It is a Harry Potter movie after all. Now why would you spend 100+ million on a story that has no moral at all? Kids, what have we learned? That flying blue serpents can change their size and teleportation is used only when it is not needed (vs. when you are locked in a cell)? Do we know what was the whole movie about? No? It was definitely not about saving the innocents or helping those in need. Poor guy who had been beaten regularly by his step-mother and also been betrayed by the only man who had seemed to ever care about him got shot dead for no direct reason by a bunch of lead magicians. Could they have tried to free him from the obscurus? Sure, at least they could have tried. Yeah but did they? No. Did they feel bad about just killing the boy? Maybe in the bottom of their hearts, but without any visible signs it is hard to tell.
Third. The only character you could like was the bakery guy. I rooted for him a lot to get the most out of his situation and elope with the pretty blonde girl who seemed to be caring for him :) How did it end? They said goodbye because that is the 'rule' in the world of magic and he was given money (silver eggshells) instead. Point made very clear - let go love, take money instead. Kids, I hope you were listening.
All in all this movie was spectacular, gripping, I liked most actors in their role, and it was full of sh_t, thanks to the storyline. If you create a magical word that could be a getaway from real life which has its real life problems and real life cruelty, why not make it a nice one where people care about each other and love is more important than wealth? Especially when the story is meant to be told to children.
