Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Movie Review

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Review


In 2011 we witnessed the finale of an amazing franchise that was Harry Potter. Now, after 5 years, J.K.Rowling invites us to return the magical world with this new film which will set another, based on this movie, amazing franchise. The movie is a step in the right direction because it is funny, like hilarious, has a more family friendly tone, great effects and the Potter fans will definitely spot the links with the Potter movies and books. We have a new character, Newt Scamander, played very good by Eddie Redmayne, author of the same book that Harry will study in his first year at Hogwarts. There are two stories in this movie: first of all we have Newt arriving in New York with a case of magical creatures, some of them escape and he teams up with a muggle, played by the funny Dan Fogler and he is the catalyst of almost all of the humor and funny moments in this movie, and two witches trying to capture the creatures; on the other hand we have Colin Farrell that wants to reveal the wizarding community to the rest of the world. It's confusing at points but, in the end, this two stories meet up with one another. The movie has a great pace, great acting, directing, with David Yates returning to this universe, excellent writing from non other than J.K.Rowling, very good CGI and a lot of humor, more than I expected. It does not need the Harry Potter movies to be good because they delivered a stunning prequel/spinoff that has more than enough magic to stand on it's own. Very good movie and beginning to another franchise. P.S.- the niffler is amazing! 9.5/10
