A gallery more than a movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2016)

I don't know much about the background of this movie/story. But after spending 2hrs in the cinema, I got a feeling that I watched a gallery of fantastical animals. The story itself is rather simple and short. Most of the part of the movie is focus on those special creatures. And at the end, they are not doing much(or basically nothing but breaking things). So I am not sure which is more important, those amazing but not helpful animals or the magic part. But besides the setup of the screen, the actors performance are quite good. The characteristic of each role is demonstrated very clear and vivid. However, if this is the beginning of another whole grand story like Harry Porter, I would like to see how would things come in the next.
