Great Film - Funny and Intelligent Watched Turning Red with my nieces (ages 9-12) and we had a blast. Good characters and brilliant story. The first half of the movie was really funny, the second was more dramatic but still very engaging.

A good film (no spoilers) In two lines - Good story and cast; feels more like a detective/mobster movie than the classic super hero movie. This film is very different from most of what we've seen in the super hero world (DC and Marvel alike), since for most part it feels more like a detective/mobster movie than the classic super hero movie. Also, you don't need to memorize previous films in order to get it, it's a solid stand-alone film that while leaves plenty of room for sequels, you can enjoy it all by itself. With a good story and a solid cast The Batman is simply a good film. Unlike more simplistic super hero films, Batman (or Revenge) is far from perfect an there is actually some growth and development to his character. What I didn't like about it: 1. Too long 2. There were some scenes that still felt like the classic "super hero" movie, meaning showcasing Batman's accessories or doing a 5-minute action scene that could have been cut down to half the length, just to keep the action/super hero feel. Overall, a good film, worthy of your time.

A few good scenes in an otherwise boring movie I'm a Harry Potter fan, and this was the first "fantastic beasts" movie I saw. I knew some of the characters and details (such as that Grindelwald was the worst wizard prior to Voldemort and that Dumbledore took him down etc.). However, because I haven't seen the previous two movies, in the first half an hour, I was quite confused in terms of the different characters and plots. That wasn't the movie's biggest problem. The main issue was that while the film had a few good adventure scenes, in terms of sense of humour, complicated plots and character development (things that I came to expect from Rowling's writing), the film was seriously lacking. **SPOILER ALERT** The movie starts with a big problem, Dumbledore can't fight Grindelwald directly due to a magical bond between them. At the end of the movie the bond breaks, which leaves the option of the two having a final showdown - a final (and direct battle). It seemed that the entire movie was just trying to set the setting for that later battle. One that we don't get to see in this movie. Meaning, that this film had very little climatic scenes, and since most of the characters are not complicated or intriguing, the film is simply not that interesting.
