An ordinary adventure film that is hard to justify

I don't know if it's mainly because of the film itself or because the sodas randomly picked by the theater are difficult to drink. In short, the whole movie watching process made me feel uncomfortable. In the long process of looking forward to the completion of the film, I have always had some hidden worries in my heart, worrying that the film will be covered by the shadow of the original series, and there is nothing except feelings (the cursed child's fault). But the actual impression is that this setting is too unfamiliar, and even lost the elements I originally loved, making the viewing process boring.

The introduction of the HP series 14 years ago was undoubtedly extremely fresh and interesting to the domestic market where excellent fantasy works were scarce at the time. Back then, I was taken to the cinema by my parents to watch the first film, and I also started to have an interest in the fantasy world since then. Love. Although HP is a semi-overhead fantasy, the world view and settings within its system are complete. In addition to the details of the main story, the network between wizards and wizards is also fascinating.

But Fantastic Beasts is more like an ordinary adventure genre with magic skin (I don’t have any hope since seeing the opening background set in the United States), lack of complete details of the construction, and the relationship between the characters is only floating. Superficially understatement, the final battle seems to be no different in essence from the type of hard science fiction like [Pacific Rim], but magic has become a dispensable element. David Coconut's narrative skills that have been criticized since Ha June and Seven have not improved in this film. The main line is not coherent, the clues cannot be laid out, and the story is unclear.

The only thing worth mentioning may be the performance of the little freckles. He is quite suitable to play such a nerd like a timid little beast, who is easy to be shy at seeing people but is especially passionate about the things he is studying. Other characters are too lackluster to tell. The heroine is a mediocre character with no highlights except for the brave elements necessary for the protagonist of all adventure movies. This is another shortcoming of the film. It lacks a role that allows the audience to engage in emotion, easy and story. A feeling of peeling occurs.

I heard that Warner signed the five-part series of the new series. Maybe more plots will be unfolded later, but I have always insisted that a story that cannot be justified in a complete film is not a good story. Even a sequel movie should be independent. The plot, leaving only the details and clues to be continued, and not the main line is unclear and stopped abruptly. The video can be worth 70 points in terms of hardware (visual effects, sound effects, casts, etc.), but from a personal emotional point of view, I would rather give it lower. Speaking of technology, Billy Lynn's film output in the hk cinema is almost out of sight. The real technological innovation is replaced by the gimmick that relies on the old series to attract audiences into the theater. I am personally very dissatisfied.
