Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

"I love half of this movie. It feels like Rowling wanted to launch another magical epic story based on Dumbledore, but also wanted to make an amazing zoo themed adventure focusing on magical creatures. I like the half that focuses on the animals. It really feels like this movie should have been a one-off that focused solely on world-building for the classic movies. There really was so much wasted potential. It's easily the best Fantastic Beast movie, but that's a really low bar. "

"Feel good flick for everyone "

"I know hardly anything about Harry Potter which is probably why I couldn't get into it, but I just couldn't get into it."

"Newt Scamander is a fun character to watch for a scene of two but he feels like a side character and not the lead protagonist in his own movie spinoff. I do not hate this movie but I have tried watching several times and have never been able to enjoy it."

"Great storyline from the beginning all the way to the end. Highly enjoyable. I'm happy to see that there is a trilogy that shows off the older side of Harry Potter before Harry Potter."

"Spectacular movie with great effects and incredibly engaging characters! It expands the Harry Potter universe and leaves you craving more!"

"Really scratched that itch of needing another Harry Potter universe film. Loved the creatures, the storyline, and Eddie Redmayne. 💕"

"There are some cool moments. But at the end of the day… it’s just not for me. "

"Really fun movie building upon the Harry Potter world. There's so many magical animals introduced and seeing different parts of the magical world is really cool. "

"This movie was a pleasant opportunity to touch the world of magic again. The very first film is not bad at all - yes, it doesn't have the Hogwarts atmosphere, but it is not supposed to. Maybe it will not take the big place in my heart, but I still like it."
