Completely independent from the Harry Potter saga with a single small connection to put them in the same universe.

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2020)

Because of the fact that I've only watched the Harry Potter saga and not read the books, I was completely unaware of the fact that this book was written by J.K. a long time ago as part of the Potter Universe. Nonetheless, I was pretty impressed by the imagination behind the looks of the creatures and overall how the city and everything looked, suggesting that the ideas were taken from the book of course. However, even tho the visuals were outstanding throughout the whole movie, especially in the climax, I was underwhelmed by the main character and his stiffness, boring nature and irritable tone of speaking which could not be heard even when I turned up the volume on my TV way higher. The supporting characters were also pretty pale, aside from Dan Fogler as Jacob who was an outstanding supportive role. The plot is simple, but engaging, even tho it can be pretty slow for some viewers. The villain played by Collin Farrel was also dissapointing, I guess his personality did not fit the character's shoes and that is why he was not the person to be chosen for the role in my eyes. All in all, 6/10
