Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them directed by David Yates

Last week, my friend and I went to watch Fantastic Beasts. The movie is quite entertaining; however, the plot of the story can be easily guessed. The movie has the Archetypal elements where there is the portrayal of witches, wizards, magical creatures and scapegoat. 

Newt is the main character in the story, plays a role as a wizard who come to New York to capture magical creatures for his collections. Upon his arrival in New York, he meets Jacob, a No-Maj (non-wizard) and it leads to one event where they mistakenly switch their suitcase. This incident is silently watched by a witch named Tina who works with Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). 

While Newt and Jacob searching for the wondrous creatures, there is one event that is happening in the city which is destruction that is made by the unknown character. Thus, Tina suspects Newt as the culprit who creates the chaos in the city. She arrests him as an unregistered wizard and sends him to MACUSA but no one trusts her. 

While they are being together, Tina and Jacob discover a lot of fascinating beasts in one suitcase. The suitcase is where the beasts are being placed. At the same time, the unknown character who destructs the city appears and reveals himself as Credence, after his foster mother abuses him for his minor mistakes. Graves who is a Director of the Magical Security uses Credence as a scapegoat to find the culprit.
