Fantastic Beasts and where to find em review.

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2016)

OK am I the only one who got really frustrated of this movie? I love Harry Potter series, I read all the books and I watched all the movies the minute they were out there. But I was waiting more from Fantastic Beasts. Nice cast, nice characters, but where was all the scenario? What was the point of all this? What was the point of using a good actor like Jon Voight in that role? The only good thing about the movie was Colin Farrel and his transformation which I have to admit was a pretty nice revelation, but I got the feeling that the whole movie was an introduction to a new wannabe good trilogy. Maybe the next movie will be great but this one, not even close. Nice colors, nice humor, nice feelings, but what was the point of the obscurus and Grindewald and the whole chase when everything ended like an ancient Greek tragedy (Deus ex machina)?! Until the end of the movie I could not learn or remember the name of the protagonist, because I did not care. I did not care for anyone of the characters. Harry Potter made you live the story with him, I only felt sad when they caught Grindewald, and that was not supposed to happen. I am bored of all this new movies who try to exploit an old good franchise and a good story but they just don't go further (star wars VII). At least the star wars VII movie was a copy of the first star wars movie.
