Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fresh and Exciting

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Bad screenplay, very slow and very boring. The only way to save this movie is to come back to the edit room and let on the floor not less of 20 minutes.

*MUST READ*It's a fantastic movie. I know why people hate it.... many people hate it because they think it's incomplete.... the story is awesome but the main story is still not began... it will begin from the second part when grindelwald enters in the story... this movie deserves at least 7/10 but I'm a potterhead... I love the direction, story,acting, their clothes (robes).. so i gave it 8/10

This review contains spoilers.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an entry into the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The movie is a prequel to the Harry Potter series and is about Newt Scamander as he searches for magical beasts in the United States. The movie stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander.The movie is primarily an exploration into the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The world is incredibly cool and visually impressive. The characters are all well written and distinct with Newt Scamander being the stand-out character. Eddie Redmayne does a good job portraying him and he is a unique protagonist for his eccentric ways. The U.S. wizarding world is also interesting as they are culturally different. It was fun to watch the world unfold on screen.The flaws I found with the movie is its plot. The villain was not at all engrossing. It became obvious that he was inside the Ministry of Magic. The movie could feel like the side characters are focused on too much. It felt like the movie was padding for time so it had to introduce side plots that had little relation to the main plot.I would recommend Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The movie is a great treat to watch.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a film directed by David Yates. I had watched some of the Harry Potter films years ago. Then I came to know about this particular film which was a prequel to the Harry Potter Films. Seeing the craze of the Harry Potter series in many people, I decided to give this film a try. And I enjoyed it.Plot: Newt Scamander arrives in New York when some of his creatures escape from his suitcase and it is upto him and his allies to save the day.Story and direction: This is J K Rowling's first film as a screenwriter and I can say she has done a wonderful job in creating a world where both magicians and normal citizens live together. Hats off to David Yates and team, for creating a world for creating a world I so want to be in. The creature designs were fantastic and that goes on to say how talented the crew is. The characters for this story were so mesmerizing. Each of these characters had something to be liked. The comedy also was so good and never felt forced or out of place. The action scenes were so nicely done. The production design and costumes transported me back to the 1920's. But the film, was not all perfect. The film's first 20-30 minutes, felt little flat for me. But that was understandable, as I was getting to know this world and it was a slow-buildup movie. Also the editing and VFX in certain portions of the film felt little haywire.Performances: Eddie Redmayne was very lovable as Newt. The little chacacters nuances were perfectly performed by him. Katherine Waterston also provided some great support to Newt's character. Dan Fogler was the comic relief and he was impressive. Allison Sudol was good too. Ezra Miller was awesome. You could feel the pain his characater was going through. Colin Farrell was great. And for those who haven't seen this film, I would say just wait for Johnny Depp. Yes, he is there in the film. But I won't go any further.Favorite Scene: Again no spoilers but there is a scene involving, Newt, Tina, Queenie and Jacob towards the climax that was heart-touching. I also teared up for a bit. Verdict: I had a fun time watching this film. For a person who has not been updated with the Harry Potter series, I fully understood the film. And was quite happy that the film didn't rely on Harry Potter. It's good on its own. I am going with an 8/10.
