it needs a voldemort 2.0

Fantastic Beasts is the perfect example of the modern Hollywood movie. It casts the hit Hollywood star of the minute and it's loosely connected to a wildly successful franchise. This movie was made for the sole purpose of making money. There is no other reason. Rowling, Yates, the actors, everyone... all in it for the money.

It's easy to imagine the pre-production meetings... You know, that cute tree in Guardians of the Galaxy was really popular among audiences, let's have one of those. And people really liked that dive bar with lots of goofy creatures and fun music in Star Wars, let's have one of those too. It's frustrating when I hear people call this film imaginative. There's a reason all the fantastic beasts look so cute. Because toys.

Yet again we see Eddie Redmayne overact, taking the role of "autistic British wizard" to a level not needed. There was no chemistry between any of the actors, which made for awkward moments throughout the whole 2+ hours runtime. The relationship between Colin Ferrell and Ezra Miller especially seems unintentionally predatory.

There are two completely separate plots that are sloppily connected. One of the plots is pushed so hard and is used only to create a franchise of this thing. If they focused on only the fantastic beasts instead of the bizarre possessed horror aspect with a cheap twist, the film might not have been half bad.

In the end, yet again, almost a whole city gets destroyed in the climax. By now it is beyond tiring and by my count that is how FOUR big budget movies have ended in 2016. And by what, a fucking dark cloud. The whole film, each and every scene, is predictable, features terrible CGI, obvious blue screen, lifeless sound stages, and is riddled with plot holes

0/10

A zestless mashup if I ever saw one.

It's not bad, but they really should have spent more time developing the overarching plot, or at least have some shit moving in the background so it doesn't feel like something mentioned in the beginning and randomly appearing in the end.

Like, imagine if at some point Grindenwold pulled a kill-and-replace mid film and attentive viewers could spot it or some shit.

That's my only serious complaint though, I think as a franchise there's potential but this movie was more concerned with building the brand than telling a good, cohesive story.

is that a meme already?

it's an enjoyable movie but it's a movie that's seriously bogged down by its need to set up an overarching plot for future movies (rather than future movies just happening) that was really saved by the strength of its cast.

I actually thought it workd really well as a stand alone.

He's called Grindelwald and sure as fuck better be in one of the next ones

He got a cameo in Deathly Hallows, but he deserves more

He had the Elder Wand before Dumbledore. They had a duel that's remembered as "the most stunning display of sorcery in history" and after Dumbledore won he put Grindelwald in Azkaban and took the wand for himself

Stories like this need to be fleshed out

Jkr revealed that he's also a seer apparently which is why he knew voldemort was coming.

Pretty interesting
