As a diehard Wicked fan, I was very nervous going into this movie. I did not want to see another stage based show defaced on the big screen. All my concerns were quickly alleviated. This movie is almost perfect. It is a wonderful reproduction/tribute to the Broadway show and book. This one is a must see! Now we can get our Wicked fix without having to wait on the tour!

Overly cliche, poorly timed movie. Offers subpar acting and a lackluster plot. If you have seen any horror movie in the last 50 years, the plot “twist” is a straight line to obvious. It’s so bad the deaths are borderline comical. Not worth the time or money.

The filmography was good. Wonderfully shot and edited. Unfortunately the plot was severely lacking. Not worth the watch.

This had so much potential, but bad directing and a bad plot resulted in this movie completely missing the mark. Colin Trevorrow literally made the directing decisions to end an almost 4 decade long series with this? Just no. This movie missed the bar on almost every count. The only shining light at the end of the tunnel (which was also filled with dinosaurs even though it was the daily “safe passage”) was the actors. If this is a movie you must see just to end the series, wait until it is free on demand. At least then you won’t regret losing your money in addition to your time. Don’t worry, it is so bad it will be on demand in no time.

This movie killed the Fantastic Beast for me. While I understand they tried, replacing Grindelwald changed the dynamic of the movie. If we had been Grindelwald from the beginning, it would have worked; but the entire personality of a main character changed. It doesn’t work. On top of that, it is so painfully obvious that Bunty’s role in the film was meant for Tina. Lastly, Harry Potter is supposed to be magic and fun (even the darker movies are not “dark”). This movie is dark and I would not recommend for kids. As much as it kills me to say this as a Potterhead, this is what I believe may be the unfortunate end to the franchise.
