Good movie, but far from a masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2018)

It was a CGI-fest with a lot of buildings breaking and cool looking beasts. The story wasn't very deep or meaningful, but it had some interesting characters. I liked most scenes with Kowalski, the comedy relief and support character, it felt like he fit very well in the movie. The main character, Mr. Scamander, was very weird most of the time. He didn't talk a lot and while he didn't, he looked scared to death. It's nice seeing some wizardry again after the break from Harry Potter.
