Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a better franchise catalyst than it is a movie, with several competing storylines that don’t really gel or feel properly developed.
After the origin heavy lifting is taken care of that’s when Doctor Strange becomes everything I could hope for; namely, a highly imaginative action movie with a breakneck pace and a boundless sense of imagination.
