Finally saw this movie!
It was.... fine? I guess?
(No. It was disappointing. I wanted to enjoy it a lot more than I did.)
I disliked the romance and found it 'meh', the plot was thin on the ground, and neither the antagonists nor protagonists really captured my attention. I found myself questioning world building more than I did in other Harry Potter things, and I was often bored.
It felt like an episode of Doctor Who where timey whimey was replaced with magic, and Newt made for a weird cross between Tennant and Smith as doctors, complete with TARDIS briefcase containing endless rooms. It wasn't an "everyone lives" episode, it was a "tears in the rain" episode.
In sum: I was disappoint. Even the music was lackluster.
:(
(I'd have rather re-watched Dr. Who.)
