I saw this movie sometime last weekend.
It was pretty good, despite some slow revealing plots. What's really great about this movie is the opening of it. I like how it still has that Harry Potter feel to it after that series came to an end. Furthermore, I like how the muggle Jacob has more personality to him despite being a side character. Like, I was actually made to care about this person. Of course, I do like Newt, but I like Jacob a lot more in the movie. I'll admit a lot of it was slow going, but that's probably best because, we're introduced to new characters and setting. And personally, Newt was hard for me to like as a character. I was only moved by him during one scene in particular. However, I don't like how we find out who the villain was by the trailer. And I won't name names who also wanted to point it out before I saw the movie. lol. Anyways, I'm hoping the new set of movies goes deeper into the wizarding world because, I can't imagine it being about beasts the entire series. Other then that, it still had that spark of magic to it.
This contains a legit spoiler.
And I like how Jacob and the blonde were left to interpretation at the end. It's kind of nice seeing characters not entirely be pushed into each other romantically for a change. Although, I do hope they end up together despite it being against the rules. And that Jacob has his memory back. Or that could be wishful thinking on my part.
If you're a fan of Harry Potter, it's definitely worth giving a shot to see.
