Synopsis

In 1926, Newt Scamander arrives at the Magical Congress of the United States of America with a magically expanded briefcase, which houses a number of dangerous creatures and their habitats. When the creatures escape from the briefcase, it sends the American wizarding authorities after Newt, and threatens to strain even further the state of magical and non-magical relations.

Community Reviews

Viewers generally appreciate 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' for its magical charm and the introduction of new, delightful creatures, which enrich the beloved Harry Potter universe. Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of Newt Scamander is particularly praised for adding depth to the film. However, some find the plot confusing and underdeveloped compared to the original Harry Potter series, feeling that the film relies heavily on visual effects and nostalgia rather than a strong narrative.

👍 Eddie Redmayne's performance is a standout.

👎 Plot might feel underdeveloped and confusing.

Un film plein de fraîcheur. Un anti-héros original et un personnage moldu au sein des sorcier qui crée un lien avec les spectateurs. Bref très bon film dans cet univers incroyable.

Rated 9/10 by maiouu "Noté 6/10 par Elly Marin "Vu à 11 ans. Points positifs : - Bon jeu d’acteur - univers sympa - réalisation sympa aussi Points négatifs : - pas de scénario spécialement palpitant - je vois pas particulièrement d’utilité au film et encore moins à faire dès suite (a part faire des sous à Jk. Rowling 👀) ""
