This movies does a great job in establishing a new world for us, the world of wizards and witches 70 years before Harry Potter. Some of the comedy was very hit of miss for me, some of the jokes carry on for too long and just feels forced or like they're trying to hard and even through the comedy was hit or miss I loved the more serious aspects of the film. Some of the characters I had no interest in and didn't care for at all but I loved Newt and I think Eddie Redmayne really shined in this movie. Overall I thought it was a lot of fun and a pretty good start to the fantastic beast series.
