Fresh, new and vibrant

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2016)

This film was captivating from beginning to end. I felt enthralled and lifted into this new world of magic. It was most refreshing to not experience a retread of something else I had seen before. Though there were brief references to Potter's world, they were not a dominant part of the story.
I loved the creative new beasts introduced by Rowling & Co., that expanded this world as never before. New concepts, new characters, and a new plot helped make this a stunning and highly successful project.
The lead character was strong, with a believable personality and a streak of likeableness that kept me rooting for him the whole time.
This is definitely a move worth watching, over and over again.
