I have never been a big fan of the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them series. I'm happy that more movies are being made about the wizarding world, but I wish that these were different movies. JK Rowling is clearly surrounded by yes men who let her write the screenplay for all of these movies, despite her not having any skills as a screenwriter. Her author brain wanted to insert ten million characters into Fantastic Beasts that nobody cared about. She wanted to flesh out all of their backstories, which would be cool if it was in a novel instead of a movie. This first installment was an awkward start that could've matured into a good series, but once the second movie came out, we all knew that there was no saving this. We were all counting down until the day the rest of the sequels would be canceled, and we're lucky it came sooner rather than later.
