Fantastic beasts and where to find them

Hey guys, Joe here.
I just seen Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. Fair warning this review is going to have some spoilers. I will do my best to keep them minimal.
First off this was a good movie. It wasn't great and doesn't quite live up to the past movies.
I feel like we don't get to spend enough time with Ezra Millers character. For as important as he is and becomes to the plot you don't get to know who he is and you don't feel for him at the end when he is attacked.
Colin Farrell does a alright job but it is very predictable as to what is going on with his character. Although there is a twist that i didn't see coming it felt like a bit shoe horned in.
Eddie Redmayne did a wonderful job in his roll but it was very 2 noted. There is the "awe look, magical creature." and "people, i better become introverted and hope they befriend me." I think they need to work harder on bringing out more of his character and evolve him more.
As for the side characters i hope that we get to visit them in the next 4 movies. They were the driving force for the movie sadly.
Lastly i want to talk about a character that they hinted at. if you haven't heard any of the stories around Grindelwald then don't read further. Ok, So Johnny Depp plays Grindelwald and he is only in it for a few seconds. He will of course play a huge rolls though out the rest of the movies. It will be very difficult to get a read on how well he will do just on this. But the look they went with is a bit over the top and so is the accent that he chose to go with. Only time will tell how he will be.

Over all score for this one is a 8/10. So go give this one a watch and enjoy.
