A brilliant and entertaining movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 November 2016)

I'll get straight to the point. Fantastic beasts is an excellent film to introduce the characters to the Potterverse, protagonist Newt manages not to be just another Harry Potter, porpentina and Queenie aren't just another hermione granger and kowalski isn't just another ron weasly (however he is the comic relief character). Fantastic beasts succeeds story wise but it's best feature is probably, like doctor strange, the visuals which were stunning. Each character displayed their personality well and the cast were outstanding even the beasts had personality. There were humorous elements as well ,a number of moments had me and the other people in my screening laughing. However while fantastic beasts had people laughing it is still a dark film and there are some emotional moments especially near the end with kowalski. There are few bad things I can think to say about fantastic beasts none in fact there are flaws as with any movie but none serious enough to mention. Overall fantastic beasts is an enjoyable film and I'm looking forward to the next edition to the Potterverse. I rate it 8.9/10
