The Good and The Ugly

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2016)

Okay... Why lie? I absolutely loved it! But what I loved above everything else was Credence and his story. Dear God, did I love the roll he played. Not to mention Ezra Miller's acting (Sweet baby Jesus he took my breath away!) I loved what J.K. Rowling so boldly offered for us to witness and especially how the story of Credence played out. It was in now way cliché and honestly had you holding your breath and always second guessing yourself. I can't praise that part of the movie enough. Or the animation! Jesus, the animation was breath taking!
But there was only one thing that put a sour taste in my mouth... And that was definitely the development of romantic relationships. I mean I like romance just as much as the next girl, but I didn't think it fit the heavy atmosphere of the movie. I thought it was totally unnecessary. I didn't like it and I thought it made the plot of the movie deteriorate from its original magnificence. There was too much new information to take on, too much plot to catch up to, and too little character development for me to really appreciate it. Ultimately, I felt that by also including a romantic relationship or the implication of one the director was trying to push too much into a two hour and twelve minute long movie.
If that part of the movie, and only that could be extracted, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them would have been the movie to end all fantasy movies.
