Fantastic Beasts and where to find them

It was a good film. Very good and I liked it for the most part, but for some reason I just can't get as into the Harry Potter universe as I can get into Doctor Who and Sherlock and Doctor Strange. 

I like it a lot, but I'm not as amazed as everyone else have been. I really liked Newt. I liked his value system and what he believed in as a person and the way he thought American laws were stupid. I think he was a really great character and I think the actor had very interesting facial features and good body language. He reminded me of The Doctor a bit. He could have been the Doctor. There was all this righteousness and - it was cool. I liked him.

I didn't like the way Queenie and Jacob played out. I feel like that sends a terrible message. Their love is forbidden, but instead of defying a stupid law and simply hiding him which could have been done so easily, they just sort of give up and go:"Oh well, it's the right thing to do." After already rebelling so much and doing what they feel like is right they just give up for no apparent reason. Sure, it would have been difficult and dangerous, but much more inspiring than it was now. 

My only hope is that there will be a better solution in the following films. Otherwise  I really enjoyed Queenie's character otherwise. She was not only pretty, but clever, kind and had interesting personality. 

Tina and Newt had a bit of an odd relationship too - it's feels like there might be a romance there, but then there sort of isn't. It doesn't feel like a friendship either. It feels like a tense romance, they're not really at ease with each other, but nothing really happens there by the end either.  Those two clearly also need a sequel rather badly.All in all, I'm still glad there are more of these films to come. It seems like there is more to tell.
