This movie contains plenty of references for die-hard Harry Potter fans to eat up, but with a dull story and confusing plot, it leaves a lot to be desired...

The only scenes I really enjoyed were the Hogwarts scenes. Very nostalgic and I always love hearing the Harry Potter theme.

Special effects weren't amazing, but not terrible either. The action scenes were ok. I found it difficult to keep up with what was going on. There were plenty of the titular Fantastic Beasts, but they were rarely shown as being more important than the human characters, and were hardly the focus of the film, which might make the title sound misleading if you think your gonna get some sort of monster flick. Not a movie I would watch again as much of what made the Harry Potter films so special is lost.

5/10 - Mediocre

(This is my first review)
