Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
A man comes to New York in 1926, his name is Newt Scamander and he is the owner of a mysterious suitcase, in which dozens of magic creatures live. He potentially gets in trouble when some of the creatures manage to escape from his suitcase, which might cause bigger trouble to the real world and for magic as well.

Like the first chapter of any story, it has the burden of making you want to come back; and not just for the desperate satisfaction of knowing what's next

At least the monsters, when compared with their co-stars, have some personality.

In all, the movie is a cunning and peppy surprise, dulled only by the news that no less than four sequels await.

The film wants so badly to be fun and silly, but I'm sorry to say it's an old-fashioned dud.

The film strains considerably under the weight of all its plot lines-it's never fun to be the movie with the origin story.

It has been made with a lot of style and skill and comes across as much more than the simple cash-in opportunity that it might have initially appeared to be when it was first announced.

A lavish visual feast that nonetheless fails to cast any new spells over its audience.

The great fantasy in Fantastic Beasts is that everything can be put back how it was, no matter what happened.

Rowling has a voluminous imagination and Yates keeps things humming along, although, as was also true of many Potter movies, there is often too much of a good thing.

This new movie, while slight, is also dazzling, diverting and wonderful fun.
March 23, 2017
Towards the end, the film gets a little too action-packed, with the city of New York (once again) on the verge of destruction. But there are enough moments of magic in the rest of the movie to make up for it.
November 20, 2016
To its considerable credit, Fantastic Beasts is not the Potter retread it could easily-and very profitably-have been.
