Written for an American audience, they say. BAD idea..

Rating: 5/10 (29 September 2017)

Understand...Americans don't like GEEKS for heroes. And honestly...we're sick of Johnny Depp's phony accent. I tried to like this film. But in all honesty, in reading the books and character profiles, I half-expected Scamander to be some "Indiana Jones"-archetype. Instead...he's a miserable geek for whom I cannot endear myself. In the future...consider what characters are most successful with American audiences.
