The only plus of this movie is that visually it is still great, the depiction of the magic world of Harry Potter is achieved

But brings little else

Basically it is constructed on a very weak plot which is often lost in the middle of the introducing new characters for no reason (who is everyone searching for again?)

And then it shows you a Harry Potter Easter egg so you get that nostalgia feeling without any merit in storytelling

The idea of comedy of this movie is having a non magical (ie. Less capable in this context) fat guy... The most basic comedy writing ever

Then the only true character development included has no warning or indication beforehand, which makes it quite confusing

They do succeed in making the Newt annoying if that was what they were going with by making him so awkward when speaking and interacting with others (probably why they casted Redmayne)

Overall - very weak plot and dialogue results in a non compelling movie which other than its visuals borrowed from HP movies doesn't offer much
