Newt Scamander, everyone! I want to watch this movie ASAP!!
Fantastic beasts and Crimes of Grindelwald review
Ok this is a NO SPOILER review with my own opinions
+ Just because I love the character doesn't mean that I'm defending the actors with certain controversies. Actor=/=Character
Things I liked about the movie
- Newt and Leta's back to school storyline. I LOVED IT. The young actors who portrayed those characters were incredibly symmetrical to original actors and how a boy from Hufflepuff and girl from Slytherin hang out melted my heart
- Everyone's sense of fashion
- JONNY DEPP'S GRINDELWALD Oh my god guys. Whether you like him or not, it's just... he just nailed the entire performance. Honestly, I didn't like how they styled his hair and looks, but once you watch the movie, they don't matter anymore. It's just the dark wizard himself inspiring and grasping everyone's attention. Once you step out from the cinema, the only character I thought about was him.
- Grindelwald actually proposes a very reasonable and convincing agenda which scared me. He reminded me of Michael Fassbender's Magneto in X Men. Compared to Voldemort, who proposes an extreme dictatorship, G sounded like he was actually fighting for the rights for the wizards.
- MY BABY NIFFLER
- Lkie the first one, it was nice to see the adult's wizarding world where they are not students, but and actual member of the wizarding society with strong and built up abilities
Thing I didn't like
- The storyline was extremely weak tbh. The first act with Newt and his animals was interesting & exciting, but the second act was dragging the storyline. The story only built up with conflict and more conflict without a proper climax in the movie
- Leta's storyline was full of plot holes and mostly dragging the movie. There is a scene which includes her talking for the entire scene which I felt it was kind of unnecessary and makes you roll your eyes and go 'uhh, can we move on to next part now??' I liked Zoe's acting, but it's just David Yate's poor storytelling skills
- There were a lot of UNNECESSARY SUPPORTING CHARACTERS. Like seriously, the movie could have been 100% fine without them
- The title 'Fantastic beasts' sounds like an mere excuse to explain Dumbledore and Grindelwald's storyline. Both of it could have been a separate movie, where there is a spin off about Newt acting like a Pokemon trainer, searching and analysing magical creatures, but the main movie is about the actual Dumbledore vs Grindelwald storyline. Why combine those two??
It wasn't a movie you'd enjoy 100% in the cinema because it didn't really solve or developed a storyline, but it makes you wonder and get excited for the sequel. 6.7/10 for me

Fantastic beasts and where to find them review!
I've watched it today and this is going to be a short, subjective review - Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of Newt Scamander was like, the LITERAL IMAGE OF HUFFLEPUFF. Like, shit, Newt. You're the purest guy in the wizarding world - Also, I liked how all the wizards are so experienced and capable of magic without the need to say the spell out loud. Also they apparate so easily, like hell, the power of adult wizards. You can't compare them with the students - I found the female protagonist kind of boring, I found her sister more interesting - Ah, the uselessness of ministry of magic was global - Collin Farrell KILLED IT!. Like, Percival Graves was so charismatic and charming - I knew almost nothing about Ezra's role in this movie but like, I wanted to protect him so bad - Loved the humor, and I think a lot of scenes showed how well trained and skilled Newt is when it comes to treating the beasts - The last reveal was kind of, meh. The tiwst was great, but.. JK Rowling, did you really have to choose this guy? I mean, he doesn't look like what he is suppose to be! - The story in general was a little loose, and some visuals were kind of ?? The movie is already worth watching as it takes us back to the wizarding world, I loved the characters and new portrayal of the magical world. 7.5/10 in my opinion. I can't wait to see more Newt!
Watched Fantastic Beasts and where to find them trailer
You had me in 'Lumos Maxima'
#this film said Hufflepuff deserves rights too
Percival: I'm asking for your permission to date your brother, Newt.
Theseus: What is this? The dark ages? You know what, since you asked, no, you can't. Beat me in a duel!
“Ah yes. Me. My boyfriend. And his deadly toxin breathing 500 pound nundu.”
