The adventures of Danish Transvestite and his Jewish platypus

Rating: 2/10 (16 January 2017)

I have few major problems with this movie. Them being:
1) The characters. None of them are interesting. None of them stands out in any way. They are all just grey mass not worth of caring about. Even thought this movie focuses on adults, 11 years old Harry Potter and his story are infinitely more mature than this movie.
2) The Harry Potter universe. It wasn't this meh and uninteresting, not ever. I am sure at least 50% of Harry Potter fans could create a better story to take place in Potterverse than FBAWTFT is. I have no other way to describe the world building than the word "awful".
3) The spells. Most of them look pretty lame and cheap CGI even in the first Harry Potter movies. In FBAWTFT's case it looks like they made their target audience younger because only young people could find these special effects impressive or cool. They look mainly awkward.
4) Politics. Oh god, the politics. Thought the politics and media were bad in Harry Potter? Justice system sucked? The ministers of magic being a liars and all the press backing up corrupt leaders? Court working solely on elite's favor? FBAWTFT showed that this is still the case. The leaders are baddies. This time it isn't that annoying/personal because a) you don't care and b) it is so bad.
I even have to make second paragraph about the politics because they play such a big part of this movie yet are extremely unfitting to its universe. The movie takes place in the 1930's and its take on life in those days is one-dimensional and clichÃ©. The take is so black and white it almost seems like propaganda. The political side of this movie makes it half a political thriller -similar to Captain America. If you don't know, Captain America is a political thriller according to its fandom. Actually it is action movie for children. FBAWTFT is a lot like that, except it lacks action and adventure... making it just a political thriller.. which totally is not a political thriller. At this point, I have no idea what this movie is or tries to be.
Also, This review comes from a person who grew up with Harry Potter and whose life Potterverse has played a huge part in.
