The plot is suffocating

This is the dumbest hp movie I've ever seen! ! !

I'm going to start cursing, here's a little spoiler

First of all, some key plot developments have no foundation, and there are too many parts that are useless to the plot! Sometimes there is a distinct, plot-breaking feeling. The overall look is too nonsense, and the look and feel is as suffocating as eating shit! ! ! Queenie's rebellion, for example, is unconvincing! (Even if there is a foreshadowing, she looks like she has been placed under the Imperius Curse, and her behavior is illogical.) Lestrange's family tree is also messed up. I am dumbfounded by Rita's changing children. I think, In the future, your family can have a nb daughter-in-law like Bella, it must be a piece of shit luck. There is also the final big reversal, the one played by Ezra (I can't remember his name) in this is the role of the little tadpole looking for his mother. After talking for a long time, you thought he belonged to the Lestrange family, but no, you thought he was nobody, but no, he was a Dumbledore! ! ! It took so much space to talk about his life experience, but I don't really care at all, and I don't want to know who the fuck is (fall)

But in fact, this is nothing, everyone knows that our magic circle is very messy, right? :)

The most challenging thing for IQ is that Ezra can also blow up the opposite mountain without chanting spells and precise guidance without any experience in magic learning... Why! So what do I think Harry and the others go to school? You've saved seven years, and there's still a lot of gold Galleons left!

Fine doesn't say this, the rhythm of the whole movie is also very chaotic! The character story line is too jumpy! We couldn't just follow Newt's point of view, it seemed like the story was broken. There are many characters, and we are not so familiar with them, not to mention that these characters are not attractive at all! As a result, at the end of the day, I didn't even understand the meaning of some characters. For example, Rita, what is the meaning of this character's existence? Just to make it clear that Ezra isn't Lestrange? But Grindelwald knew it too! What does Nagini do? Is it just an easter egg? (And according to this time, she will be at least 80 years old when HP finally fights, she is really old and strong) I hope there will be changes in the future. And Jacob and Tina have also become passers-by, and Fantastic Beasts probably mainly reflect the sense of existence in the title. To be honest, Newt and Grindelwald are the only characters that are well-created in this series that can be loved. (And a bunch of Fantastic Beasts) However, even our protagonist, Newt, seems to have been reduced to a background board, leaving us struggling in a vortex of plot that we can't understand.

Then, there are all kinds of magic in the street, it's too mysterious, do you know that wizards are hidden! You know how hard it is for the Ministry of Magic to do this! I don't belong in this magical world. All the wizards wore the clothes of the Muggle world. In the original book, the wizards Harry saw on the street when he was a child were also dressed in strange clothes. Which guy designed it? ! How on earth did David Coconut agree? ! Only when the Hedwig theme song plays, only when I cross the mountain, when I see Hogwarts by the Black Lake, I feel so intimate. I'm home again.

However! When it comes to Hogwarts, I feel very puzzled, why is everyone's school uniform different? Why make Professor McGonagall a comic character who chases students down the hallway? Totally ooc! Most importantly: Professor McGonagall was born in 1935 and started teaching at Hogwarts in 1956...why in 1927! ! ! [Professor McGonagall's birthday comes from the pottermore website, and in 1956 this information comes from the Order of the Phoenix]

Anyway, it's very suffocating, I don't care if this is a script written by JKR himself. This can't be my HP! Stop trying to make money with your heart, and shoot with your feet, okay? It is recommended that the creators review the HP again. Think back to what the wizarding world was like, okay?

One star for Newt, one star for Fantastic Beasts, one star for GGAD (´;ω;`)

Okay, I'm done swearing ˊ_>ˋ

ps actually this movie is not that bad. As a popcorn movie, it is still passable, at least the special effects and fighting scenes can still be watched. One star is a bit too low, after all, we can't ask for every movie series on the level of a toy series. But its objective problems seriously affect the merits of my appreciation of movies. I was looking forward to it as a part of the HP world and that's why I was so disappointed. If it wasn't HP related, if I didn't value HP that much, my standards would definitely be lowered a bit. Too bad it is.
