Killing and slaughtering, not one, but TWO beautiful creatures during the first twenty minutes spoiled the rest of the movie. I understand that it was done to set the tone of the movie. It could have been done differently. The entire movie felt dark and foreboding. I can't recall one scene which felt warm and fuzzy, like we'd gotten used to with some of the previous installments and and with the HP franchise. The special effect were great, with more of the same and nothing new. Felt like they tried very hard to make it feel like a Hollywood action blockbuster. Explosions, chase scenes, explosions and more explosions. Where was the magic and fantasy? The political thriller undertones had no place in a movie that was supposed to to be about magic and fantasy. If the fourth installment is anything like this one, then i can honestly say ' BORING, MOVING ON'
