Such a disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2017)

I never leave reviews but the amount of disappointment I felt from this, was too immense. I felt ROBBED after watching this rather terrible,,,,,terrible movie.
This reminded me of the movie The Golden Compass which I hated terribly. It had the same sort of magical creatures that look so unrealistic that you simply cannot delve deep into the movie because constantly you are reminded that this is a movie. The CG was even more unrealistic than before (is it just me or do the CGs get worse with the development of computer graphics). Honestly, they relied too much on CG and making the whole movie No-MAG like that it just seemed like AVATAR, which, by the way, I hated terribly as well.
Honestly, this was such a disappointment that I was MAD after seeing it, and I can't believe they are making this look like a spin-off of the wonderful Harry Potter franchise because it does not have the depth nor the characters that we so deeply loved. It honestly has no connection to Harry Potter at all. What I hated most was that the plot was so stupid. Too many things happening at once and none of them being intriguing. The characters were so stupid, they made a terrible choice for the the main character Newt because he seems to be far too much an outcast but at the same time lacks the interesting or even lovable oddities that outcasts usually portray. All the characters were not memorable and they lacked depth so much to the point that I felt no attachment to any of them and I was confused on what side to root for. The climax of the movie ended so abruptly and pathetically that I literally felt like a leaking balloon.
I cannot fathom how this movie has such a high rating, and I think that it is due to the fact that the desperate, crazed and very heartbroken fans of the Harry Potter franchise, who had dearly waited for a movie that contained the charm of Harry Potter, had cast their love upon anything and when that happened, a part of their souls latched itself onto the only living thing that resembled magic that it could find: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them itself.
