Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a fan of the Harry Potter series and the Wizarding World I was excited for this upcoming series, and when Fantastic Beasts was announced I was ready. Upon seeing it I was entertained, but a bit disappointed because I felt the film wasn't certain which direction it wanted to go in, if it wanted to be a fantasy tale within the world for and from the perspective of fully grown adults/characters or if it wanted to have fun with the world and actually utilize the title given to it. And well what we got was a film that I found enjoyable, with a different perspective because we're not entering this world from the perspective of children, we're not being introduced to it from an a more or less "blank slate" protagonist, instead we're entering it from a fully actualized (and flawed) protagonist, which is fine and interesting. Furtermore we're coming into the wizarding world in the 50s and in the USA which I thought was exciting, and it can be (or could have been), but because we're re-entering this world from a different perspective and era and setting...….and in the middle of a new story it feels like the movie expects you to play catch-up despite it being only chapter 1. also…..it's not too well paced.....I will say that I'm likely biased to like this film due to growing up with the Harry Potter series.

I originally bought this movie for my daughter and I love you realized it has Atmos and the sound of this movie is incredible I ended up like in the movie itself too I originally bought this movie for my daughter and I will you realize it had dolby atmos and the sound of this movie is incredible I ended up Liking the movie itself to are

Extended universe movies can be a mixed bag - sometimes minor characters/subplots/references are better left unexplored. But Fantastic Beasts is an example of how to do extended universe right. It's a fun film, which evokes the magic of the Harry Potter series, while managing not to feel like a rehash. It doesn't step on / retcon existing character arcs / plot lines. And on UHD, it lives up to its name (i.e. it looks fantastic!). Definitely worth adding to the collection.

Fantastic Beasts is one of the few spin off projects I've actually enjoyed. It manages to retain the same magic, pardon the pun, of the Potter universe with great special effects, endearing characters, and an engaging narrative. If you're a Potter fan by any stretch of the imagination, you owe it to yourself to watch this film. Only reason I subtracted a star is because it sets up a sequel towards the end and I'm a strong believer that not every movie needs one.

What a fascinating turn awaits you when you can now brush off your zeal for Harry Potter and embrace Fantastic Beasts. Let your imagination abound in this remarkable tale of wizardry. In 3D, the adventure is even more startling. A must for any wizard fan or for those who love to be carried away with pure fairy tale wonder!!!

Great fantasy movie. If you love Harry Potter, this movie is a must! Its great to see events from before Harrys time. Even if you haven't watched Harry Potter before, this movie is easy to follow and you dont need prior knowledge of Harry to watch this. (Though you should definitely go watch Harry Potter afterwards!)

the service is excellent you need to give the customers better precises and you would sale move get older movies in Blu-ray like superman return, resident evil one and two, asteroid from 1997 and other movies like meteor, meteor storm, judgment day, doomsday rock, category movies 6, 7, 8, and others

I have to say I have never read any of the HP books, nor the newer ones at well. I enjoyed all of the HP movies and was looking forward to watching and owning this as soon as it was released on disc. you can watch any of these over and over again and always find something you missed...very highly recommended.

Finally got to watch Fantastic Beasts and I was blown away with the 4K UHD quality. I've been purchasing blu-ray movies for the longest, but when I finally upgraded my home theater system, the first movie I bought was Fantastic Beasts and I'm extremely happy with this movie!!!!

Wanted to make sure I watch this again before Crimes of Grindelwald is released, which I didn’t have a chance to see in theaters. As a bonus, although the digital version included was technically expired, I was still able to access it. And, I got the 4K version for my next tv upgrade.

"Fantastic Beasts" is a good movie, but it lacks the structure that made the Harry Potter movies great -- every Harry Potter film was a standalone in a framework, each, except the last two, covering a year in school. "Fantastic Beasts" is filled with humor, emotion and great effects (No. 2 is darker) but it is obviously part of a series. Also, Dolby Atmos has to be chosen; it isn't the default sound.

This is an awesome Blu-ray 4K video with my Sony 4K player and 80" 4K LCD TV. Highly recommend it.

Finally, after quite a dry spell, fans of wizards and magic can watch Harry Potter-like movies again. The characters are all new but the premise of magic and magical creatures is alive and well in this movie. The element of good versus evil is also part of the story

U am probably in the minority of having seen all the Harry Potter movies without reading any of the books. From that perspective, I highly enjoyed this movie and feel it's a nice addition to the core series. Looking forward to the rest of these releases.

I watched this movie with reservations and possibly mild expectations and this movie was above and beyond what I was expecting. I love how this is setting a great series of movies that will connect eventually with the Harry Potter series.

I really had no idea what this movie was about. Me and my kids were looking for a movie for movie night and this is the movie they picked. We really enjoyed the movie; the special effects were great and Atmos sound is the icing on the cake.

One of the things I didn't like about Harry Potter was that the main characters were rather moody and unlikeable at times. This is not the case here. The main character is very likeable and his collection of animals is adorable.

This movie was a great addition to the franchise. It was nice to see another side of the Harry Potter world that wasn’t so focused on hogwarts. I love all of the different creatures that are featured and the effects and story are great.

The woman that got boys reading again never fails to impress (I lie - the final Potter book that was turning into a play kinda sucked, but...) Eddy Redmayne is superb as a shy wizard... awesome cgi... I couldn't resist.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is an exciting return to the wizarding world of Harry Potter and I was VERY pleased to see how well this film was produced. Being a fan of the Harry Potter series (prompted by my three children who are fans of the books AND the movies), my sense of drudge at Hollywood starting this up with another entry dissipated into the wind after this film's finish. This film starts out well before the era of the dealings in Harry Potter's lifetime and it does a great job of expanding the rich history of wizards and "muggles". The story CAN be a bit intense for younger children (8 years and under), so caution is recommended. Where the first 1-3 Harry Potter films presented more 'family fare' that may be considered 'safer' by some parents' standards, this new entry gets RIGHT into territory that can be terrifying for small kiddies. That said, the film doesn't move into using harsh language or content of the big "S" word, so take that for what it is. Disc-wise, this film is fantastic in its presentation. The video is excellent, especially considering that there's a good measure of scenes where things are very dark. Even with the darkness, details are still evident and you'll not be pressed to squint at seeing things on screen. The audio is phenomenal and is very much welcomed at being presented as a Dolby Atmos track. This is a highly immersive and aggressive track. For those of you with small to mid-sized subwoofers in your home theater, take care to watch the film at moderate volumes...the LFE (especially towards the end of the film) is thunderous! Overall, this film is certainly a treat that doesn't have to be enjoyed by only Harry Potter fans (though it helps) and the Blu-ray disc is reference material all the way. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
