I'm being generous with 5 because it was like so many other CGI movies visually dynamic. You can't but be impressed. The movie overall I personally thought was a total yawn! NOTHING! I REPEAT NOTHING like the 8 previous movies. I think I actually rolled my eyes a couple of times. Characters were dull, BORING, uninteresting and just seemed to lack any depth or personality. Usually Rowling's characters both large and small (including the villains!) are enjoyable, intriguing and you become immediately attached. The story was predictable, BORING, too drawn out, BORING and just lacked the creativity that we've become accustomed to with regard to the Wizarding World. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it and I really wanted to love it! I normally go see these 2-3 times in the theater but I will not be returning for a double dose of DULL. I probably won't buy the movie either. I almost hate myself for saying it but I am disappointed. I hope the next one is better.
