I'm a little behind everyone else. Saw it tonight with the folks. Not what I expected. And I'm gonna complain a lot in spoiler  tags but that's just my way, it's not bad. It's really very good once it gets going.


Some initial thoughts:-

  • MACUSA is really casual and lax on security if some lowly ex-auror can keep bursting on the president and congress in session.

  • This was a lot more ensemble than HP and resultantly... Newt doesn't have much of an arc. His character's mostly the same start to end, maybe a bit more friend and less judgemental of americans but that's it.

  • Also it's Fantastic Beasts and where to find them and he's already basically written the book? Boo! It seemed tailor made for multiple films

  • Did they have to pull out the memory wipe but not really thing with Kowalski?

  • The duelling scenes were pretty good. I'm hoping they go more elaborate and more like the book fights than they have.

  • Nifflers are awesome. I never imagined they had a tardis  tummy to hold the goodies they snatch.

  • The scene with expanding retracting snake-bird was also cool more like what I expected.

  • Colin Farrell > Johnny Depp
