Not at all beastly

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

Directed by David Yates this spin off from the Harry Potter franchise stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler and Alison Sudol. A British wizard carrying a case of fantastic beasts to New York accidentally unleashes some on the city.

Under the guiding hand of J. K. Rowling this is a pretty decent spin off mixing things up with a different setting and style of story. On the surface level the film is a pretty basic action/adventure but it does have some depth as it looks at characters forced to live with repressing their true selves. While the film leans heavily on CGI it still has some impressive images and effects.


4/5
