This movie will be etched in my memory forever. It was very well cast and the storyline was amazing. I love the tie ins to the LeStrange family and the mention of preheadmaster days Dumbledore. The magic was phenomenal and Newt was a character you could fall in love…

A bit slow paced.. drawn out and character development was no where near any Harry Potter film. I'd say rent the movie if you can.

I enjoyed it, but I saw it in a standard format. The photography often blurred to a distracting extent. Others said the same. It almost looks as though it was filmed and framed for 3D, not standard. Disappointing.

great movie
AS
Andrew Shire
I was disappointed. It lacked a lot, and was mostly uninspired. Not the Harry Potter world I've come to love. Dry characters employing even dryer magic.

About 1/3 of the movie was just CG generated images of fantastic beasts which really didnt add much to the story. I enjoyed watching the movie, but felt it was lacking a good bit of substance. A lot of pretty and entertaining images, though.

The storytelling rhythm gets a bit pokey for the amount of story being told.... But director Yates knows his way around this stuff. The visual evocation of '20s Manhattan with a twist offers considerable satisfaction, as does Redmayne's embodiment of a boy-man more comfortable in the company of animals than with humans.

It’s a solid first step into the magical world of the familiar. Escapist entertainment for crowds that prefer to know their destination in advance.

The picture—directed by David Yates, who also gave us the last four Harry Potter films, terrific ones—feels both sprawling and crowded, as if it were trying to pack too much mythology into one cramped crawlspace.
