I was excited to see this film, as i am a Harry Potter fan. And i was ready to dive back into the world of magic and intrigue, but what i found was a disappointing mess. the movie has its ups and downs but the negatives seem just to big to ignore. The plot lines felt under-developed and to messy leaving me confused as to what was happening, even now I'm trying to figure out certain things. This is a result of trying to cram to much into one movie. Along with the confusing plot lines, the characters were a bit underwhelming to, i found them forgettable, and having underdeveloped story lines, some characters just left me with no idea if they were good or bad, or what they were even doing in the movie. On the up side the action is exciting and the beasts themselves are very cute and well designed, although would have been cool to see a Griffen.

I found this movie lacked the charm and structured spread of a story line that most of the Harry Potter movies did so well. And overall it just feels try hardy, almost like Warner Brothers was so desperate to make another couple of hundred millions off the back of Harry Potter, so they rushed to make another franchise that no matter what was going to do well. Any way this is a OK watch, but if your a critic or Harry Potter fan than i don't feel the nostalgia will be enough to make this film worth your money, the overwhelming disappointments took out all of the fun for me personally. but that's just my opinion, its up to you.
