Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Thejudge21 — 27 Jan 2017
If you are going into this expecting the same magic that was in all the harry Potter films you will be disappointed. It's not a terrible film, it has its moments, but you never get close to the characters, you quickly forget them when the film is over, and if they make a sequel, it won't be first on your films to see list.
Eddie Redmayne was miscast, too ponderous, too layed back, and mumbling right through the film. If you had that many fantastic beasts you would at least smile now and then or be the slightest bit exited.
He was like watching paint dry. Poor script, trying to be many things but being none, especially a romantic film with such a dour main actor. The ending summed it all up. Not enough character storytelling and character's you care about.
Which is what made the harry Potter films so enjoyable.
