Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) in New York city
Photo of Warner Bros.Despite being set in New York in 1926, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a movie so british, just like its hero, the zoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne).
But that is not all good. Want to say that it is a film content, little given to leaving showed your emotions, that takes itself very seriously and with a sense of humor, something of the island.
you Could say that the film behaves like some shy people: it reveals cautious at first until he feels confident and is finally shown to viewers the richness of their inner world.
Written by J. K. Rowling — the first script that writes the creator of the saga of Harry Potter novels — and directed by David Yates (a veteran producer of four films of Harry Potter), Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an interesting film in the fantasy genre, but lacks the charisma that distinguishes the films of Harry Potter.

The cause may lie in the character of Newt Scamander, a wizard intelligent and genuinely interested in the animal magic that he keeps in his briefcase, but somewhat reserved, without the initiative and courage that might be expected of the hero of a saga that will consist of five films.
in Addition, the events will “happen” to Newt Scamander, it is not the character who is the auspicious and the reasons of his arrival to New York are modest and do not seem to fit within a narrative more, as opposed to what happened in the Harry Potter stories.
The other element that undermines the impact of the film is the lack of a great villain, that keeps it diluted and wrapped up — literally — in a thick cloud until their identity is revealed at the end of the film.
throughout the movie they make mention of the terrible actions of a dark magician named Gellert Grindelwald, a sorcerer obsessed with the Relics of the Death and the one who causes the terror in the whole of Europe.
Grindelwald is played by Johnny Depp, who makes a fleeting appearance in the film. But if Grindelwald is a villain powerful in the magical world, with almost the same status as Lord Voldemort, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them seems to be more interested in the fantastic creatures that give title to the film.
Scamander has a suitcase magic whose interior is larger than its external appearance; inside, it houses no less than a dozen unique species, which studies and protects. By a series of entanglements, some of these animals escaped and are hiding in the city.
An odd couple: the formed by Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne)

The dynamic of this group is one of the gears of the film and is basically based on the performance of Dan Fogler, a non-maj or “not a magician”, whose humor and comments are the best thing in the film. Fogler provides the perspective of the spectator, and works as the anchor that keeps the plot connected to the real world.
in Addition to the performance of Fogler, another great item worthy of rescue is the setting. The New York of 1926 is recreated with luxury of details. It is an expansive world, with bustling street scenes, full of vehicles and people, as rarely seen in films of the period.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them creates a fantastic world that is coherent, with creatures very original and with special effects of high bill. The director Yates and his team strove to offer a show that is at the level of the Harry Potter saga.
Pity that the magic of a movie lies not just in its special effects but in making credible to the characters of his story.
