    It's no Harry Potter but it's a good film.

    "So what is this creature?" "Its a *mumbles*" "What does it do?" "This!" Where is it from? How did you get it? Is it friendly? What's your backstory? Oh nevermind we have to chase this thing with CGI effects! Don't get me wrong: its a great movie, interesting from start to finish, but it doesn't seem to want to fill in the gaps sometimes. And its definitely not a kids movie.

    More like Fantastic Characters and Music as Well and a Franchise That Grows With its Audience Them
    actually that's not so catchy
    The characters are lovely, and I'll drink bleach if Dan Fogler wasn't the audience favorite.
    "I'll be damned" sounded so standard, but "I'll drink bleach" is a bit intense.
    The soundtrack fits very well with the franchise, and most of all, I'm impressed that J.K. Rowling wrote the story to appeal to her current audience. This wasn't just a young adult story, it was made for the now grown up Harry Potter fans (and surely the newer fans as well).

    Seeing as this is a part of the Harry Potter series, we expect a fair degree of spectacle, and even though lots of the CGI was very obvious, the ways that the actors interacted with the computer generated beasts and environments was very convincing. This really says something: it wasn't the quality of the CGI that created realism, it was the interaction. #The Jungle Book had very advanced CGI, but Mowgli's interactions with all of it was so unconvincing, that it made the environments and animals look subpar.

    Prequel trilogies to famous film franchises haven't got the best reputation, have they? Luckily they changed it to five prior to release, dodging the curse 8-).

    Very major spoilers follow.
    SpoilerThe Obscurus was VERY well CGI'd, especially when Graves was encountering it. The use of depth of field in that scene also added immensely to its realism. Further on the topic of Graves, Colin Farrell made for an excellent villain. I'm actually really disappointed that Grindelwald has to be played by Depp and not Farrell, as I was constantly impressed by his performance. If only there were some reason for Grindelwald to resume that disguise again at some point.
    Just imagine if nobody knew what Grindelwald looked like, and he'd never been caught before, so Graves could just be a pseudonym. Then we'd see this wonderful portrayal throughout all five films!

    So that stupid ass sneak peak from 5 days ago was for this? An actual sneak peak? wtf

    Whoever is in charge of the trailer division of the PR team - or w/e you want to call it - should not have a job because he/she is just the worst.

    Here is 15sec of fuck all that shows nothing and just tells you the trailer comes out in 5 days. Think whoever did this has no clue what the hell a "Sneak Peak" is.

    jfc there's not even any sound

    Do you guys think prequel trilogies are cursed? The #Star Wars prequels were a travesty, and I wouldn't say anything better of #The Hobbit films. Are the Fantastic Beasts movies doomed to fail as well?

      Editing … I will admit that Ep3 was not garbage :p (that opinion could change when I rewatch it soon)

      Editing … The Hobbit films are mostly ridiculously overstretched and bloated spectacle that was aimed more at kids rather than at returning LotR fans. They do have a couple of brilliant scenes like the Riddles in the Dark with Gollum and Bilbo but all the same I was really disappointed with the trilogy as a whole. Or in other words: I don't like half the scenes half as well as I should like, and so I like less than half the scenes half as well as they deserve.

      Editing … If I was a big Star Wars fan I imagine I'd have similar feelings about that prequel trilogy but since I'm not I can overlook the shoddy writing and enjoy the spectacle of lightsabers, spaceships and a cool soundtrack in the prequels because that's all I really expect from Star Wars. As for Harry Potter getting a prequel trilogy, third time lucky I suppose.

      Editing … I wasn't a fan of the HP movies but I'd like to read more material from Rowling in that universe... maybe I'll just read the scripts if they're leaked. :)
