Reviews

Struggles desperately to be three movies at once: One about Pokemon, one about proto-Voldemort and one (uncharacteristically dark story) about child abuse. But none of these three movies are bad movies so _Fantastic Beasts_ gets a pass from me. I was particularly fond of the degree to which it ...

I must say I was expecting to like it, and I really liked it despite the few generic moments throughout the film. Can watch again/10.

I don't think anyone who loved 'Harry Potter' film series would thumb this new beginning. This is...

Remarkably lacklustre for a film involving magical creatures. <em>'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'</em> underwhelmed me, in short.

Though set in a fantasy world, there's nothing remotely authentic about it. Not his "Newt Scamander" character, nor the...
