Alright- It had some good parts

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2016)

I went into this movie a bit skeptical because I loved most of the Harry Potter movies (and books of course!) and didn't want this movie to ruin it for me. (Sorry for any spoilers). The beginning of the movie was very promising. It seemed like there was going to be some real plot development with the setting that was being portrayed but no. There were 3 mini plots that were somewhat unrelated all happening at the same time if anything. Even by the end you don't really get too much of a better understanding.
The adorable animals and the funny things that some of them do were definitely the best part of this movie. Other than that, everything else was blah. The character development of the female characters was even worse than that of the male characters. The primary role of one of them (Queenie) seemed to simply be a doll to be looked at. She was used as a way to once again remind us that our society thinks that women are only as good as they look. Not to mention the overly domestic and subservient/weak appearing roles that both Queenie and her sister played during several of the scenes was even more disheartening.
Overall, I wish that the plot was more thoroughly developed and these unnecessary stereotypes of women left out or diminished in this movie. If this had been the case I probably would have liked the movie more and given it like a 7 rating.
