Review
I had a lot of expectations going into this film as it is of course a spin off of everyones favourite Harry Potter universe. Unfortunately, I found myself to be let down. I found Newt Scamander really hard to connect with due to how awkward and shy he was in every scene.
I also found it really hard to concentrate on what was happening. The plot to me was a total mess with everything being rapped up with no real complications. Also, their was another side plot which took over as the main plot with about a hour to go, which really made no sense. Although it was great to be invited back into the Magical World invented by J.K Rowling, it was really not enough to keep this movie going for a whole 2 and a half hours.
Overall, I give this movie a MILD spice review.
