This started off with the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
When did the segue happen? More importantly, why the segue?
And honestly, I think all this Dumbledore being the all fired chosen one is annoying.
Harry Potter being the all fired chosen one was super annoying as well.
And here we have Newt who is incredibly talented and amazingly under valued.
I don't know if this trilogy was intended from the start or just sort of made up as they went along.
It feels like the the latter, truth be told.
I would expect that someone of Rowling's caliber to be able to put the story together a bit better than that.
It was disconcerting in the very least to suddenly find Tina Goldstein out of the picture for Newt's triumph. I understand that she's promoted and it's an important position, but Newt is the man she's in love with, embarking on a life threatening mission to save her sister!
It's all very 2 dimensional. It was a slow build and I felt like that they ran out of time to cover everything they really wanted to.
On the more liberal side of things, there is the gay romance between Dumbledore and Grimelwald. There's no accounting for taste of course, but it is utterly mind boggling that Albus found anything to love in Gellert and vice versa.
This is another prime example of the 2 dimensional characterisation.
I did not hate it but I did not love it.
I am indifferent.
Just Me.
