Bad acting with no plot whatsoever

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2016)

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and JK Rowling's writing. This movie however was subpar in terms of quality of the script as well as the overall acting. The director tried to disguise the lack of plot by introducing totally random, disjointed elements which made the movie confusing. It was also slow-paced and unnecessarily dramatized in parts. The wizards seemed to possess powers akin to superheroes and the plot was inconsistent with the laws of magic that the Harry Potter series have established. Overall, this movie is an attempt to cash in on the Harry Potter franchise when it really isn't up to scratch whatsoever.
