" The plot didn't gives enough kick, but it is told beautifully and magically entertaining "
An awkward young Englishman - Newt Scamander go to New York with a magic suitcase filled with many magic creatures (some of them beasts) just to find another magical beasts to study. His ambition is that all wizard knows how to treat magical beasts.
Off course in 1927, no internet, but Newt is definitely a very clumsy young wizard, I bet he never ask for a second opinion at least from his professors in Hogwards before he go. Then he met a No Maj (muggle : a non wizard) – Kowaslki, a funny fat nice wanna be pastries businessman guy. A sloppy wizard meet the hilarious no-maj.when one of Newt's collection manage to get out from this old suitcase (well he could've switch a better suitcase) - and the commotion starts. And just when Newt about to obliviate (put a no-maj not remember a thing about anything magical) Kowalski knock Newt's out and run away with his (Newt's) suitcase.
Then the story goes Newt met Goldstein a formerly "police" (she just relieved for from her position from an auror into a regular clerk), but then Goldstein decide to help Newt despite realize what kind of punishment that awaiting. And what happen to Kowalski? Well, all the beasts got out from the suitcase – even he bitten by one of it. Meanwhile New York is been hunting by several strange unexplained phenomenon that put all wizards into worries and Newt's beasts can cause an open war between human and wizards.
Then also an auror - Graves (Collin Farell) that recruit a wanna be wizard boy who's adopted by a wizard hater to find a special gifted kid with a great power. Well then this movie goes into a hilarious beasts hunting.
Now, here I go. There is a high expectation as I decide to watch this movie about 3 months ago. Come on, this a Harry Potter prequel. Even though I have never read a single book of JK Rowling. But I have so much respected about Harry Potter movies. But let's cut to the chase :
1. This movie is much lighter then Harry Potter – well like I said, I never read any of JK Rowling's book – but it doesn't mean this Fantastic Beasts turn into a cheap wizard adventure movie – it's kinda like enjoying a Belgian hot chocolate in the cozy afternoon. 2. Well, this light delivering of JK Rowling somehow surprise me..but I don't mind at all, only that the whole plot didn't give enough kick to the mystery level that I hope, but then again somewhere Director David Yates successfully put the mystery moments not in the plot but I feel it inside the character between Graves and the relation between them. 3. Yet, this movie is really colorful..it's fun,tickling when I see the emotional connection between Newt – Kowalksi – Tina Goldstein and her elder sister Queenie. Dan Fogller really succeeded blended with this Kowalksi character – this Kowalksi in so many parts steal so much attention. While Eddie Redmayer – well he really bring up the sloppy Newt. 4. Even all the creatures have an individual personality that brought up so well.
Well, what can I say..but this "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is under it's weight but this fantasy tales is very delightful and fun" (B)
