I am completely disappointed with this movie. It lacks in story, characters and "magic". There is nothing to be considered magic in an American pre-war atmosphere. And I would never have thought that the US accent would harm so much to this movie, almost as it would be a parody (a cheap one) of a famous movie. Don't get me wrong I love US accent but here it is completely out of place. The characters are weak and also the beasts are mere mix-ups of real animals or horrid mutations, (I have never seen a hypo-rhino with a brain tumour that big or a Puffer-tiger).Honestly you coulnd't come up with beter ideas? Poor creature concepts. It feels like Jk Rowling had a second thought about "no more Harry Potter movies" and rushed a quick book to make up for lost time.
