WestWorld 1,213 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've been hearing mixed reviews about the movie. From the trailer it seems a bit bland but I love anything related to Harry Potter so I feel conflicted. Did you like the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 yes part of the mixed reviews comes from the fact that Johnny Depp is in it (for like literally only 2 minutes at the end), but otherwise it's a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gung 828 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It was so-so for me. Not a disaster but totally not worth the hype. Granted, I'm not a fan of the HP movies or any spin off from the original 7 books, I only love the books so keep that in mind. Let's break it down. Main actor: The friends that I went with said that Eddie was so cute it was worth it. I'm not into guys and I don't find guys cute, his acting was ok but not enough to save the day Main actress: drove me nuts. Just how d.u.m.b can one be... Was useless and made totally irrational decisions. The fantastic beasts were awesome though. So cute, so lovely, so funny. I wished for more descriptions of them and screen time for them. Highlight of the movie. Supporting: There was a cute "supporting" couple. Grindelwald being Johnny Depp tho... pffs. Plot: way too easy to guess. I'm unimpressed. Other: I knew the 7 books inside and out and remembered I had a lot of wtf moments while watching this movie. It's been 4 months already tho, so I don't remember. Go see it if you're a fan of the HP movies though, you may understand it more than my friends did (who had no idea who Grindelwald was). Keep your expectation low though and you may be pleasantly surprised. Don't be like me, coming into the cinema after hearing every positive reviews possible and came out mad.

Aletheia 506 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 If you like anything HP related then you'll like it. It's a pretty good cinematic edition to the series as far as expanding the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green 2,546 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I kinda love it. But mostly for the easter eggs and visual treat. I kinda love the story too, as an HP offshoot. It's great seeing the start of the story you only read as history in the HP books. I didn't mind Johnny Depp being in it at all. He isn't the Grindelwald that I imagined. I thought Colin Farrell was a good Grindelwald tho. But as a standalone movie, it's not much plot-wise, especially if one isn't familiar with how the magical world operates already, you may not appreciate it much. Pacing is inconsistent too, can be slow at moments. But very adorable characters (humans and beasts). I enjoyed it more on second viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos 89 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I thought the plot was kind of dumb, but the animations/cgi was superb. If you're a fan of the HP world, I would definitely recommend it. It gives a lot of insight on how the magic world is beyond the scope of just Hogwarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidoan97 743 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 My friend also recommended me this movie, but I want to know what to expect Is it related to HP? I was a fan of HP, but it's been a long time since I last read the books so I might have forgotten some characters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
