Provides the same blend of wonder, humor, and heart as J.K. Rowling’s original book series (and films). Read more

For its first half, Fantastic Beasts keeps us thrilled, charmed and intrigued. But then it gets to a point where the plot kicks in, and it's highly derivative, falling back on some of the most tired clichés of the superhero genre. Read more
