A tiny portion of the cast
Packed day yesterday. Was dying with the cold but had promised to take the kids to see new Harry Potterish film Fantastic Beast 2 - the crimes of scriptwriters, producers and JK Rowling. It was very long, very confusing. We've all read the Harry Potter books and seen the films multiple times. This featured many of my least favourite things in movies: 1. Action scenes that move so quickly it's impossible to follow what's happening; a total waste of expensive CGI and green screen time; they might as well just turn a strobe light on and off. 2. Multiple characters who look alike and aren't memorable enough to, well, remember. 3. Characters thrown in like treats for Harry Potter fans, e.g. Nicolas Flammel. The worst makeup job imaginable. 4. Matrix 4 level of confusion in the plot. Lots of "what?"; "Mam, who is he - the dead brother or somebody else?"
