Too bad Eddie Redmayne plays in it

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2018)

I wouldn't go that far as saying that this movie is bad. It's a bit of entertainment, for the whole family, with some good CGI moments. If you don't like fantasy movies with weird creatures then you shouldn't watch this one because that's basically the whole movie. The story isn't bad either, not complicated at all, and that's good if you want to watch it with the whole family, kids included. There are some big names in the cast and there are some good actors and actresses, but the major issue I have with this movie is the main character Newt Scamander played by Eddie Redmayne. He is the major letdown of this movie, not only because of his stupid face (that he can't help of course) but because of his acting. He's just not a good actor, and I really don't get what the fuss is about this actor. I can simply not stand his face, and so why women would be attracted to him is just a mystery to me. The movie could have been much better if they had somebody else playing Newt Scamander. For the rest the movie is okay if you like special effects, that are well done, and a bit of fantasy as entertainment.
