Farklı bir yaklaşımla incelemişler evreni. Güzelde olmuş. Daha iyi de olabilirmiş gerçi...

Entretenida sin llegar a ser tan memorable como otras pelis. La trama funciona pero es muy simple

Decent, but not the kind of movie that's captivating enough along any one dimension that I'd want to watch it again.

Film with a banal plot without much development or plot. Pleasant but leaves little

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Return to the Wizarding World. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a magical journey into the world of magic created by J.K. Rowling. The film takes viewers back to 1926, when magizoologist Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redman, arrives in New York with a suitcase full of amazing creatures. The plot skillfully combines elements of adventure and comedy, immersing the audience in an atmosphere of magic and danger. Director David Yates creates vivid visuals and exciting scenes that are a joy to watch. The supporting cast, including Katherine Waterston and Dan Fogler, add depth to the characters. Despite some predictable moments, the film offers a fascinating look at the wizarding world, expanding the Harry Potter universe. Fantastic Beasts is not only entertaining, but also an exploration of friendship, loyalty, and responsibility, making it a must-see for fans of magic.

JK Rowling's new Harry Potter world extension isn't so much a prequel as it is a loose, distantly-related novella. People wave wands and use familiar lingo. Footnotes from the wizarding world take flesh and form out in the wild and there's a bit of familiar name-dropping to keep us all invested. Eddie Redmayne takes top billing as the introverted naturalist with an extensive collection of traveling wildlife, but as the name implies, the beasts themselves are the real stars here. A live-action jaunt through the monster manual, Fantastic Beasts is an interesting, unusual turn if not a terribly fulfilling one. Many times, I felt like I was digging through the guts of an info-rich companion book and not a free-standing tale. There's the framework of a story, of course, but it's awfully dry, light fare and the real focus is quite clearly on establishing a deeper lore for the growth of the franchise. The effects work is strong, as it desperately needed to be, and I enjoyed the unexpected aesthetic of magical society at play in the roaring twenties, but there isn't a lot of meat on these bones. Disappointing, since the Potter films are brimming with precisely the kind of depth, warmth and rich, implied back-story that this is missing.

amo essa Saga, me diverte muito, amo ser fã de Harry Potter, ótimos atores, efeitos especiais, a trilha sonora perfeita.

Not good. Disappointing. Worse than the Harry Potter films. Don't recommend. Don't intend to watch sequels.

Mediocre, uninspired, boring. Dropped after half an hour. Constant teleportation was obnoxious.

The only one in the Fantastic Beasts saga to really be Fantastic Beasts and to appear at least interesting.

Fantastic, epic, funny, cute, just gimme more of these. Like right now. I need more.

Interesante de ver, sobre todo por la parte de ver magia en la vida cotidiana, aunque justo en ese apartado se queda algo cortita de más, al incluir a tantas bestias fantásticas. Buen preludio para algo que puede molar bastante. En general está todo muy bien cuidado y no presenta ningún fallo demasiado a destacar. · Cosas buenas: el nuevo universo que presentan, los efectos especiales, el ritmo, los nuevos personajes me encantan, sobre todo Newt, y ese toque más oscuro y adulto me pica la curiosidad. · Cosas malas: el desenlace no me convenció de todo, y lo dicho antes, hay poquita magia. · Conclusión: es como Harry Potter pero con un toque fresco, un buen comienzo.

Remarkably lacklustre for a film involving magical creatures. 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' underwhelmed me, in short. At no moment across the 130 or so minute run time was I ever invested or drawn into the story or the characters. I didn't feel any good performances from the cast either. Dan Fogler sticks out in my memory most, though the rest are forgettable. The special effects are also not to the level I was expecting; that's not to say that they are bad and I'm not certain what I was indeed anticipating from them, but I just found 'em to be meh - nothing blew me away. Which is a vibe that I got from the whole film unfortunately. Hopefully 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' does more for me.

It is a good movie, but the action sequences without dialogue fellt a little too much and dull, they weren't very intriguing for me.

Please stop giving She Who Must Not Be Named money. Your nostalgia goggles are lying to you. And this movie is a disaster. The sequels get even worse.

It looks and feels like a Harry Potter film but it's slow, lacks plot and the script is bad. Too many characters, too much hapenning with no focus or cohesion. Lots of it doesn't make sense either.

Eco warrior movie, but not in a bad way or heavy handed way. A wizard with a portable nature reserve in the shape of a (no spoilers). It is all rather simple in it's story tellling. Like abuse people/nature and they maybe become monsters. The story sets up good personal stakes with mostly good pay offs that actually works rather. With endearing characters to root for. The ending I found rather bitter sweet. What is life, but a bunch of memories and to lose memories is to life imo.

----------------------------------6.7/10-----------------------------------

This is a very atmospheric, CGI heavy fantasy film. One of my first thoughts about it was that it reminded me somewhat of the Men in Black films, due to plot elements (the secrecy between the beasts and humans etc.). I noticed its set in New York, as the Men in Black films are too - I can only presume thats due to the international appeal of the city(?). I thought Eddie Redmayne gave a great performance as Newt Scamander. He almost looks as amazed as the viewer may look, at some of what happens, although he is obviously aware of what he carries but perhaps moreso the things they get up to. I found it a somewhat engrossing read but I suppose if your not much keen on CGI centered films then this may not appeal, or if fantasy isn't your thing. I thought it was an enjoyable watch overall. Would I recommend it? yes, I would.

While it is clumsy and a tad confusing in telling its story, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" succeeds at providing more characters, folklore, backstories, and (of course) beasts for the beloved Muggle/Wizarding world this film has spun-off of. With proper care and attention, this has the potential to become a series that is just as enjoyable and magical as its big brother series. As is, this mature and dark story is one where both fans and general audiences will be equally entertained. Oh, and it's good to see you back in the director's chair Mr. Yates!

I have just finished watching the movie on Prime Video and everything is absolutely fresh in my mind right now. I had no idea what I was going in for. I didn't read the original book or watch any trailer before seeing this movie. All I had heard was that this takes place in the same universe as Harry Potter, which is why I watched it. And honestly speaking, this movie is nothing different from what I expected it would be. The problem with this movie is that it's very, very cliched. It uses those exact plot points that make an annoying movie, well, annoying. That's literally how this movie begins: Making an annoying creature do things for which the protagonist gets in trouble. This is just like how Dobby was in The Chamber of Secrets, except over there he was doing it because he had been asked to do so. The marsupial mole over here wasn't doing it for any particular reason at all, except for being cringy. If I were Newt I'd have just let him get caught and die. And then of course, Newt is unregistered. The way the movie began made it seem like Newt was a complete idiot, except that the whole point behind his character is that he's smart. He's the only one person who cares about the beasts of the magical world unlike the zoophobic wizards. Every species in this whole movie - muggles, wizards, magical creatures - everyone was unlikeable. They all did things which made me want them to get their comeuppance. The only thing that saved this movie for me was the world building. I have heard that the book is actually a guidebook for all the creatures living in their universe. So this, being an adaptation, was the only good part in the entire movie. And it was so beautiful that I enjoyed this otherwise irritating movie. I really wish that was the main focus of the movie instead of them being about fugitives running from the law and something something Ezra Miller. Another thing I really liked about this movie is the depiction of the 1920's America. All the characters looked like they belonged in that age. The ignorant, hateful behaviour of the people from that time was very well depicted, if that was intentional. The acting was great. People reacted just like how they would if the CGI was present before them in real life. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a movie that seems to be more oriented for a young audience, since they are the ones who will find it more appealing. It has cool and cute animals, funny scenes, childish storyline and overall the 90's and early 00's vibe to it. It's a one time watch for the adults, since the only good thing to offer for a mature audience is the phenomenal CGI. It won't remain as interesting if watched for a second time, which is why I'd recommend you to not ruin the experience by watching it for the second time.

Magic Cash-Cow: and How to Milk It. It's not quite as magical or amazing as Harry Potter but there is definitely something there. This is a good start to a new story in the Magical World of Harry Potter. Hopefully, sequels don't let it down.

De las películas más extraordinarias y sin duda un gran reparto.... Edie Reydmare, es tan hermoso y gran actor La apariciónde Johnny Deep sin duda es arte, el es un gran actor y sin duda los seguiré apoyando sin importar que

It was watchable movie, but I really hate that it really didn't has a proper ending as they just will be makin another sequel and in this one not that many things are resolved really. So ends up like too spread out and when I get to next movie I will have finished about this one.

For a spin off movie, this was amazing. I really enjoyed it and I would say it's one of my favorites from the whole Harry Potter universe. The special effects and action sequences look awesome.

No johny no good rating, now i need to get this to 75 letters so hello how u doing

Johnny Depp was the best thing to happen to the show and now that he’s gone I’m not gonna be able to watch it, Firing him was a big mistake.

WOW! WE'RE BACK! Okay, now I'll try to rate it without being swayed by the fact that, gee (!), I was looking forward to seeing a movie set again in J.K. Rowling. Great script, really! In spite of the latest films by H.P. made by David Yates who now seems to have left the darkness! The soundtrack of J.N. Howard is truly adorable as well as the set design that is rarely so well looked after, as the costumes that have earned him an Oscar. Colin Farrell, truly remarkable. Do I have to find any faults? Maybe it could last a few minutes less and allow more space to focus on the plot. Really beautiful fantastic animals and ending with a stellar surprise bang. Thanks to the ending I can't wait to see the 4 sequels. Overall rating: 8. Hurray!

The Harry Potter universe has become one of the most lucrative and remarkable cinematic phenomena we know. Personally, I am one of many teenagers who read all the books and saw all the films but I was afraid when I heard about the idea of making this film. The environment is very different from what we saw in Harry Potter and, if it weren't for the mention of several elements we saw in previous films, the link would be very small. Accentuating the differences is the fact that this film takes place between World Wars and has New York as its setting. The idea for this film came from the small book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and it follows the adventures of their fictional author, Newt Scamander. He goes to New York with a suitcase of little monsters, some of them escape and their eagerness to recapture them puts the city in an uproar and concerns the magical authorities. However, some incidents are attributed to Scamander's animals, who refute responsibilities and end up engaged in an effort to discover what powerful evil being has caused them. The story, dark and mysterious, manages to keep our interest but the prestige of Harry Potter universe and our willingness to see how it all will end helped a lot. In fact, now we can check all its problems, which make it more boring than the worst of Harry Potter films: it takes a long time to develop and the story, initially confusing, turns out to be illogical and underdeveloped. Another problem is their poorly developed and generally one-dimensional characters. Scamander may be nerdy but he lacks charisma and leadership. The Goldstein witches goes from naive to stubborn. Credence looks like a man with a traumatic depression and Kowalski is just an idiotic "muggle". David Yates did a good job. I am convinced that he was decisive in preventing this film from being a fiasco. In fact, with all the problems, the overall performance of the cast, mostly little known to me, is naturally affected and only the hand of a skilled director could help them. Despite being a good actor, Eddie Redmayne does not perform miracles and is far from his best. Dan Fogler managed to be more interesting and charismatic than he, in the same proportion that he knew how to be funny and to captivate public's sympathy. Alison Sudol also captures our sympathy by giving her character a candid and sweet aura, but she is so sugary and stupid that I wanted to hit her with a chair. Another actor able of becoming sympathetic was Ezra Miller, but I think he didn't have enough material to develop his character beyond anger and a depressive cry. Katherine Waterston was uninteresting. Colin Farrell is somber but doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Carmen Ejogo is hateful. Worse than she, Samantha Morton seems to have been inspired by the wicked witch of the fairy tales. We also have the additions of Ron Perlman, unrecognizable but impeccable, and Johnny Depp, who does nothing more than an irrelevant and uninteresting cameo. Technically, this is a very visual film, thanks to tons of very high quality CGI, as we would expect. Its an expensive film, a super-production where green screen was the key. As it should be, the film is loaded with magical creatures that we have never seen before and each one is more incredible than the other. I especially liked the niffler, which looks like a friendly kleptomaniac platypus. Cinematography is characterized by good colors, a misty but pleasant environment, good use of light and dark and very clear footage. To add aesthetic quality, we have the charm of the Thirties, the golden decade for New York. Few decades have given us so much charm and style: magnificent cars, clothes and props that are still in fashion today and an incredible urban landscape, where there is no lack of fog and rain. For a moment, I almost felt like I was in a gangster movie, just missing the jazz background. The soundtrack, by James Newton Howard, is good and epic, but it is not surprising for those who has seen Harry Potter. Although the film exudes style, it lacks content, good characters and a strong and charismatic lead. Anyway, it achieved a feat that even Harry Potter, who broke box office records, managed to achieve: finally the franchise won an Oscar, for Best Costume Design, which in fact was deserved.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"was a movie that although had little enchantress of the Harry Potter´s franchise was a really entertraining movie with new an interesting characters and characteristic magic action, that only the Wizarding World of J.K. Rowling could bring.

Es mejor que varias películas de Harry Potter su trama sus efectos especiales y sus personajes son una maravilla

After the undoubtedly impressive, decade long, multi-director triumph that was the first eight films of the Harry Potter franchise, Warner Bros. -- in classic Hollywood studio fashion -- decided to capitalize further on the IP by going backwards in both time and, well, a lot of other things too. Considering the film we have here, coupled with the fact that J.K. Rowling assumed sole scripting responsibilities this time around, it comes to no surprise that die hards have evoked the Prequels (yes, that's "Prequels" with a capital "P," as you know exactly what's being referred to) as a comparison piece. This film takes the stately and quaint priggishness out of what we all understand the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to be, and yet somehow makes it all lesser in terms of appeal? Maybe it's the lack of British accents. Or maybe it's the pedestrian nature of the world in play, considered in hand with the disjointed narrative, incomplete character work, and confounding lore. On second thought, maybe it was the British accents. All kidding aside, however, this really didn't feel like a Harry Potter movie to me. Now, that doesn't mean the whole movie is bad or otherwise unwatchable. But it is most definitely an inferior product. With the lush history, legendary world-building, and -- honestly -- more impressive effects of the previous eight films in mind, I feel as though I've already seen the light when it comes to anything involving this universe. And while that light was shaped like a proud and stolid stag, "Fantastic Beasts'" light remains in the shape of a. . .what the hell was that platypus-looking thing called again?

Amazing movie once again by JK Rowling. Hope all the actors remain for the final 3 movies. Looking forward to them.

Decent Prequel Fantastic Beasts is pretty boring in it's first 25 minutes, But it starts to get fun after that point even though it lacks the magic of the Potter films.

You can fell the magic again. The Movie just is enjoyment pure. As an big Harry Potter Fan this movie just works. The Story may not be Special but seeing the American side of the Wizarding World is Fresh and interesting and the Main cast also works for the most part. I personally find Newt an good Main Protagonist but i kind of missed that he gets no real development so the thing he says at the end is ironic. The Main Villain was fantastically played. I was invested in the World and the Beasts. The CGI was really good for the most Part, only the last showdown was a little to much in may opinion. I got to admit that this Movie is one of my favorite Harry Potter movies even it has probably not the same quality as some of the older ones.

Lacked that magical feeling that one got from Harry Potter. The world was created and was good but then lost with movie.

The movie was quite entertaining for me, meeting some new fantastic and magical creatures with some great viaual effects as we wanted to see more of that

Great visuals but terrible lead character and really dumb plot ruin this film.

72/100 It's a decent fantasy movie. The biggest problem I have with the movie is the villain, super predictable ... The acting is ok (I liked Eddie Redmayne). The CGI is OK (this cloud looks terrible). The story is ok (I was not a big fan of Harry Potter so I can not compare it). In conclusion, this movie is ok ...

A popcorn flick at the level of Transformers in that it's gimmicky, has no specific age target it's trying to appeal to, & is overly reliant on visuals to distract the audience with a big spectacle. If you're looking for a movie where you can shut off your brain, then it's fine.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

The movie had really good reviews on Netflix but eventually left me very disappointed. Nothing in the story made sense. Harry Potter movies had a clear story line and allowed you to discover a universe for itself while this story lacked logic and details. The guy comes out of nowhere by ship and disappears into nowhere. We don't learn anything about his past. We don't understand anything about his character. People stay anonymous throughout the movie so it is hard to bond with the characters after all....

I've never been into Rowling's universe before this film, but decided to give it a try. Really liked it.

If you are not a diehard fan of Harry Potter universe, didnt read the books, but you just like this kind of bright movies - you might like this. While the story is some sort weak as well as acting, this is a nice one-time-see movie for an evening. Hot chocolate and donuts is a must :)
