Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Herman73Trio — 01 Dec 2016

Meet Newt Scamander - wizard - from England, one of Prof Albus Dumbledore's favourite, young, talented, very interesting in magical beasts and sloppy. He came to America, to buy a rare magical beast. His aspire just one : that to make the world of wizard have a better understanding about magical beasts.

He come just in not in right moment where ther has been several phenomena in that could've blown the cover of wizards identity in America. Newt stop by in the ladder entry to a bank to hear speech of Mary Lou about wizards living among humans and very dangerous to human mankind - meanwhile a cute niffler manage to escape from Newt magic suitcase and runaway into the bank, Newt found out and try to catch it back.

His path cross with a no-mag Kowalksi - a wanna be pastries shop owner, then soon the adventure begins for both of them. Then Newt arrested by a demoted auror Tina Goldstein and brings him to magical congress, so she can get promoted again.

But, then things don't happen as she hopes. Cause, in the process when Kowalski escape from Newt, their suit case accidentally swapped - all the magical beasts that Newt hide in that magic suitcase escape, even one of that beast bite Kowalski and cause him a fever.

And rhe road to a whole new unforgettable adventure begins for all of them. I do admit that I enjoyed this movie - even though that director David Yates buy too much time to bring all adventure that make me in between of bored, curious and impatience at the same time.

But, even I never read any of JK Rowling's book I still can feel that this character Graves - is onto something evil (my opinion cause that choose Collin Farrel - that also known of his ability to play as a villain, but it's not a poor choice, cause Farrel really did his part as a cold magical security).

Yates succeeded brings this element of curiousity among audiens that never read this JK Rowling book, what is Graves agenda - who is the wanna be quiet introvert Credence? I also enjoyed the hillarious and emotional moments that Yates build between character Newt-Tina-Kowalski and Queenie.

Off course the beasts are fantastic. What I feel is that this first Fantastic Beast is not really of Harry Potter's weight, but Yates manage to delivered this in a such magically fun delightful adventure with such beautiful special effects.

But really it was Kowalski character that steal moments while the others - not mediocre - even though not fantastic but really fits in. My final conclusion is : "The whole plots not kick hard enough but.
