Fantastic Garbage

Rating: 2/10 (25 December 2016)

I love the Harry Potter series, so I wanted to like this movie so much, but it was just painful! The plot was weak and scattered. It moved so slowly and Eddie Redmayne was shifty and never looked his friends in the eye! It was very hard to understand what he was saying sometimes. Right when I started to think, this is getting better, then it took a terrible turn into a dark, creepy place. The head of an orphanage is beating the children. Why is this necessary? I hate it when movies try to make up for a lack of story with a lot of special effects and things blowing up. There was so much potential for a great story here and instead it just left me rolling my eyes and shaking me head. This was far from fantastic for me.
