The storyline is incoherent, jumbled, unclear, wishy-washy, meandering . . . . . . It has no tangible connection to Harry Potter and it appears to just be 'cashing-in' on HP's success.

The wooden acting by Eddie Redmayne is truly awful: he looks continually pained, and mumbles endlessly making it even more difficult to follow the story's red-herring plot. The special effects are great . . . but nowadays all special effects are, so this film is nothing special.

Complete garbage.
