![]() ![]() Thanks to the continued presence of director David Yates (who directed the last four installments to the Harry Potter franchise) Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them begins with a sprightly confidence, while it's even a little indulgent as it revels in both the hustle and bustle of the New York setting, the charming period, and the special effects and animals the film has to showcase. Unfortunately Katherine Waterston's Tina is too stuck-in-the-mud and protective to ever fully win you over, but there are enough hints - especially in her final scene - to suggest that she'll have shaken off this burden by the sequel. One scene in particular, where we first see Newt Scamander inside his briefcase, makes you fall in love with the character, while there are numerous moments where Eddie Redmayne showcases a knack for physical comedy that you can't help but smile at.ĭan Fogler's wide-eyed joy as the No-Maj that's breathing in all of the wizarding wonderment is palpable, while Alison Sudol is bewitching as the perennially optimistic but still a little jaded Queenie. Fantastic Beasts is immediately boosted by the fact that it's led by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne ( The Theory Of Everything), who emanates a quaint, peculiar likeability that manages to pull you in as he makes Newt a combination of Steve Irwin, Indiana Jones, and Charlie Chaplin.
