“Fantastic Beasts” delivers the most satisfying period fantasy since Tim Burton’s “Sweeney Todd,” but its layers of sophistication are what yield one of the best Hollywood blockbusters of the year. (“Doctor Strange” reaches greater heights in terms of its effects, but falls short on story.) Coming after a jarringly weak season of summer movies, it’s an especially welcome year-end treat." -Indiewire

 

i mean, those were the types of positive reviews people were leaving for Fantastic Beasts. Doctor Strange was so unanimously praised for its visuals, with minute praise being delivered to Cumberbatch and Swinton. But Disney films get the high RT scores they do because they're pressured. They focus on one element and praise just that one thing in an outsize manner. Even most TLJ reviews said stuff like "it's not a good film, but...". 

 

I think theres a huge amount of grading on a curve when it comes to critical reception to Disney blockbusters.

Fantastic Beasts is just a poor man’s version of Pokémon, sorry.

 

If you think otherwise you’re

acting like fantastic beasts was a movie that 90% of the people who saw it felt passionately about either way is pretty funny.

TO YOU. To the majority of people, IT WAS. That's a fact. 

 

That’s actually not true because the movie itself just wasn’t good.

The most “oh yeah, that movie exists” film of 2016

It’s an adequate background movie

It’s gonna be hot. Damn hot today. 

 

40°C+ and I’ll be outside at the cricket all day. At least the seats are in the shade. 

 

The western suburbs of Sydney are hitting 45°C. 

 

I was very neighbourly on the way to the ferry this morning. I helped a guy carry his kayak down to the harbour beach.

I would say Fantastic Beast is one of the 10 best blockbusters since 2015

1. Dunkirk

2. Arrival

3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

4. Mad Max: Fury Road

5. Beauty and the Beast 

6. Wonder Woman

7. Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them

8. A Star Wars Story: Rogue One

9.  War of the Planet of the Apes

10.  Deadpool

I don't usually pay attention to football, but since my school UGA is in the national championship, I'm mildly interested. #humblebrag
