To go or not to "Fantastic creatures" to "Harry Potter"

Today, 17 November 2016 premiere of "Fantastic Beasts and Where they live." He looked fresh favorite movie on the universe of "Harry Potter", share impressions and observations without spoilers.

1


"Today" From the UK to the US 70 years ago
The new film tells the adventures of Newt Scamander, who doted in fantastic magical animals. Book this writer read Harry Potter in the school 70 years after the events of the "Beast."
Cinema takes the viewer from the usual London "Today" in New York last century. It is ruled by other laws prevail not the tradition, and people do not Muggles call without magical abilities.
The story revolves not around the cute animals
With the world of fantastic creatures in the "Harry Potter" the audience acquainted tall jovial Hagrid and other characters. But the universe of magical animals was hundreds of times larger. Emphasis movie - lovely creation, not learning and sticks.
But in the center of the storyline of the film are not creatures and habitats. This and subsequent films tell us about the confrontation between good with Gellert Green de Wald - dark wizard, the strongest to Lord Voldemort, whose name can not be called.
This spin-off - not a sequel or prequel "Harry"
The film characters regularly talk about Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, who served as director of the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry already at that time, and other regalia of the universe "Harry Potter." But not directly related to her movies.
This is not a sequel or a prequel to the beloved childhood saga of magicians among the people. "Fantastic creature" is a spin-off of "Harry Potter" - another film storyline that runs parallel to the pre-image with a few intersections.
Not children's story for "Potter" fans
New fairy story for a long time waiting, not fit gentle children. The film's director chose the middle age category, who loved "Harry Potter" in his childhood, as the target audience. This adult movie without snot.
I am 27 years old, but some moments of the film made the heart beat faster, and the palms sweat. The movie rating of 12+, and children will love the novelty of today is not less than "Harry Potter." But in my childhood on the screen showing the good things.
Bet on the actors instead of the storyline
This adaptation of the book "Fantastic animals and their habitats," Rowling. And the screenplay for the popular writer developed independently. But movies from books about a boy with a scar Harry Potter plot are remembered abruptly.
The new movie is not imbued with magic and mystery. It's a Hollywood blockbuster. Here, the bet is placed on the special effects and the actors, not the story line, which we had studied on the books again and again.
"Transformers" in a fantasy world of magic
"Fantastic Beasts and Where they live" - ​​not a fresh part of the "Harry Potter". This new film, which involves magic and magic wands, but other content, message and mood. But this is not a negative.
Cinema is perceived as "Transformers" in a fantasy world of magic. There are a lot of special effects fashion, destruction and other attributes of today's blockbusters. This other emotions, but their number is not less than before.
