      For the most part the majority view JK as a prolific author who shaped a nation and is a strong role model for young women. And JD as a man who was abused by his ex and needs years of rehab and therapy to help him cope with the life that was stolen.

    There's an easy way to nearly fix the creatures looking fake. Do what I call "The Jurassic Park Trick."
    Jurassic Park has a lot of cg creatures but you buy it because they will do close shots of the dinos and use a puppet or animatronic, then show the cgi dino.
    The practical effect doesn't need to be of the full creature or even have much articulation, since it will be a tight shot that only shows part of the creature. This establishes the creature as a psyichal object that actually exists in the scene, so that you view the cgi creature as being that real object.
    This is part of why Jurassic World looks fake, they don't setup the dino with a practical effect, it's just all cgi.

    Agreed on the beasts looking too CGI. Prisoner of Azkaban came out over 10 years ago (wow, I feel old) and Buckbeak looked and felt way more lifelike than any of the creatures in this movie. Not to mention he had more personality. The jewel theif platapus was the only one that was remotely memorable.
    About Eddie being good in everything though - I'm guessing you didn't see Jupiter Ascending lol. It was definitely a case of an actor trying really hard in a really stupid movie. But that's what made it so bad.

    Some of the best creature performances I've ever seen were physical puppets operated by actors, with rig removal to hide the actor and supplemental components composited in to match the motion of the puppet. This technique lets other actors interact with something real to make the creatures more convincing AND lets artists use cgi elements to their greatest potential.

    I get that the Obscurous (spelling?) was important, but that portion of the movie with Grindelwald felt like a separate story from Newt's and it took the focus away from even the film's title. I say keep that, but also add sense of urgency to finding these creatures. The creatures weren't really hunted by the wizarding community like Newt feared. I think it would've been more effective if Graves/Grindelwald personally led an initiative to capturing them for power and killing the useless ones. Let the Thunderbird out and have him brutally attack it and capture it for his own use under the guise of protecting the community. This makes the conflict between he and Newt much more personal and the title of the film much more crucial. Newt NEEDS to find them. When he gets his creatures, Graves is still seeking an Obscurial and Newt learns of this and needs to help this boy too. I loved the movie, but there wasn't much urgency felt by the audience for him to collect his creatures. Actually letting one of them die by Graves would have, in my opinion, made this really good movie great and could have tied the two stories into one. This might add a half hour, but I don't care. What do you all think?

    It's baffling why Rowling would make the lore being that the Salem witches were real witches and were impervious to being burned alive or crushed or whatever. It is so much more sensical for the women to have been muggles, like in reality, and have the tragedy of the witch-hunts as a reason for witches and wizards to be anti-muggle, and as a rallying point to show how evil and violent muggles treat those they suspect to be witches.

Like they seemed like they were supposed to be more important other than giving yet another reason for Muggles/No-Majs to be scared of weird magic stuff and for John Voight to be upset that his kid died even though he'd forget about all of it anyways, but like along the way I feel like they're importance was left on the cutting room floor...unless they have some purpose in the sequels...but I kinda doubt it since John Voight and living" I believe in magic" son forgot everything.

    @holymolynoway Před 7 lety +5

    Hey Jenny, I really enjoyed this video. I agreed with all of your points! Here are some more things that bothered me:
    1. Everyone can apparate, but Newt has to travel by ship? Apparently we needed this really dramatic goodbye scene at the end, because Newt has to travel back to England to drop off his manuscript and it'll presumably be a while before he gets back to New York, but he can just POOF to England and then POOF back and be all, "Hey, I dropped off that book just now, can we get coffee or something?"
    2. The beasts aren't actually that magical. There's the rhino that's just like a normal rhino except it's a little bigger than normal. And then there's the thing that just steals stuff and hides it all in its magically-large pouch, and then there's the thing that can see into the future, but only sort of, and has big blue eyes and looks like an old sloth combined with Yoda. How come the beasts don't do cooler stuff like apparate, or freeze people, or bend space, or whatever. Even the Obscurus doesn't do anything really awesome except for blow stuff up and hit people. Like, Dementors were an example of an awesome magical beast - they make it super cold, suck your joy out of you, and then eat your soul. That's way scarier than an Obscurus.
    3. Why does the Ministry kill Ezra's character at the end? And Newt and Tina just watched what amounts to basically a murder of a scared, abused child and they don't really seem worked up about it. I mean, it's not Ezra's fault that he was abused by his mother, never got magical training, and then got hoodwinked by handsomely disguised Johnny Depp. Kind of a sympathetic character to get massacred without as much of a heavy sigh from our protagonists.

    i still don't buy how that blue stuff worked the way the movie made it work. all newt said was that it had oblivating properties that were good for bad memories. But like, there's no way, as far as the movie explained, to fine tune it so that it only seeks out certain memories, like of magic, or does a certain time period. And discovering that magic is real would not be a bad memory for everyone.
    We saw how obliviating someone could go terribly wrong with Lockhart. And like, the muggles don't have anything to fill the gaps in their memory (which is something wizards typically fill in while theyre obliviating someone). what about the politician who died? does his family know he's dead? because this stuff just removed the memories, it didn't alter them. do they even remember him at all? how did the blue stuff fix that?

I get that people change as they get older (ex: Voldemort), but from what I understand, Grindlewald didn't do any magic that would change his appearance so drastically that he looked like pale, bleached, scary Johnny.

    A big disappointment to me. I was mislead by the title and premise of the movie and expected to see where we find fantastic beasts in America.
    The Harry Potter series didn't have a huge advantage as far as the world it built, to me.
    Examples of missed opportunities:
    Jackalope, skunkape, couatl, unhcegila, sasquatch, wendigo chupacabra, oh-do-was, great white buffalo, ritual dances and shamans, gris-gris and voodoo, elemental magic, modern witchcraft, vision quests, fountain of youth, el dorado, paititi
    Would have liked to have seen something along the lines of Newt collecting specimens from American mythology as a conservation effort, as the native magic of the Americas had been vanishing since European invasion. The world might not be ready for a wizard on a drug induced vision quest with a sasquatch spirit guide through the Happy Hunting Grounds.

      @Craig X by "turn out" you mean "he said that"? He and his lawyers can say what they want, doesnt change the evidences. Watch his videos drunk.

      Not really.
      At the time no one knew and she said allegedly. And she mainly spoke about the very real leaked footage of him drunk in the morning. And with accusations like that floating around it would be weird to see anybody accused of that in a movie.

      @@FaelCacilhas the evidence shows he was the one being abused, not the abuser. Also that infamous video where he was drunk was the day after his mother died, and so it's understandable why he was so upset.

    Weirdly enough in the The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus the same character was played by Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp, Judd Law, and Heath Ledger due to Heath's sudden death. If they really wanted to save it they could have Johnny Depp transform into Jude Law just like you mention.

      Maybe it wasn't up to classic Disney afternoon standards but calling it is an abomination is pretty harsh. Plus it's kinda mean towards people who enjoyed it.
