Featured review
I enjoyed this film more than I expected
I haven't been a fan of the actor that played Newt, but I really liked him in this. Well written. The acting quite good. Characters and their development very well done. An immersive experience. Good special effects, and imaginative creatures. My favorite character has to be Queeny. I just fell in love with this vivacious and fun part of the film. Some interactions between Newt and his creatures were a little over the top. Sometimes less is more. I really like how the personalities of the creatures come through. The darker aspects of the film are actually very well done, and are historically accurate for the United States at the time this story is presented. Much of the dark wilsonian progressive aspects of the inter war years leading to the second world war was well done.
