Rowling\u2019s beloved seven-book series into a sterling eight-film franchise, is clearly hoping that the association will be enough for longtime fans to embrace this smoothly assembled, menagerie-themed offshoot from the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d cinematic universe. To that end, the studio has reenlisted David Yates, the fine director of the final four \u201cHarry Potter\u201d movies, and brought back a few other gifted alumni for below-the-line duty, including production designer Stuart Craig, editor Mark Day and visual effects supervisors Tim Burke and Christian Manz.<\/p>\n<p>But the most significant talent the filmmakers tapped was Rowling herself, who, having already churned out a stage-bound sequel (\u201cHarry Potter and the Cursed Child\u201d), now earns her first screenplay credit with this cinematic prequel. Although written directly for the screen, \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them\u201d shares its title with a zoology textbook, written by one Newt Scamander,\u00a0that popped up as assigned Hogwarts reading in \u201cHarry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone.\u201d\u00a0(A \u201ccopy\u201d of Scamander\u2019s book, written by Rowling herself,\u00a0was published in 2001.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Teaser Trailer [HD]\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ViuDsy7yb8M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"trb_ar_page\" data-role=\"pagination_page\" data-content-page=\"1\" data-state=\"pagination_viewed\">\n<p>At the very least, this movie and its four expected follow-ups\u00a0will be spared the obsessive page-to-screen comparisons that greeted the earlier \u201cHarry Potter\u201d cycle. As the series progresses, I suspect that Rowling\u2019s mastery of intricate, long-arc storytelling will eventually reassert itself. The clues that she has strewn throughout,\u00a0the name \u201cAlbus Dumbledore\u201d not least among them,\u00a0will snap satisfyingly into place, and \u2014 <em>Prequelus Totalus!<\/em> \u2014\u00a0the puzzle\u2019s larger meaning will be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, it\u2019s not terribly hard to enjoy \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,\u201d a lively, fast-paced adventure that balances high-spirited whimsy and darkly brooding atmosphere in the usual Rowling tradition. But it\u2019s also not hard to feel a twinge of skepticism, a nagging suspicion that this busy, proficient, uninspired movie is soliciting not our sense of wonderment so much as our brand loyalty. The blockbuster imperatives that support\u00a0a franchise of this magnitude are nothing new, but all too often you may well find yourself thinking the same thing about the movie itself.<\/p>\n<p>Our guide to Rowling\u2019s Roaring \u201920s is Newt Scamander himself (Eddie Redmayne), a world-traveling British \u201cmagizoologist\u201d in a peacock-blue coat who specializes in the study, collection and care of magical creatures. You may recognize some of these computer-generated critters from the margins of Rowling\u2019s earlier novels, such as the Niffler, a duck-billed rodent with a mischievous taste for anything shiny, or the Bowtruckle, a shy, twig-like tree dweller that might be an early ancestor of Groot\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>These and other fantastic beasts \u2014\u00a0Erumpents, Mooncalves, Swooping Evils and other names you won\u2019t find on the endangered species list \u2014\u00a0are part of a private menagerie that Newt keeps stashed\u00a0in his magical briefcase. Viewed all together, in the movie\u2019s central set-piece, they offer perhaps the most diverse collection of bizarre body shapes and alien-like protuberances since your last visit to the Mos Eisley Cantina, though not necessarily the most diverting.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. It\u2019s understandable enough that the makers of a movie called \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them\u201d wouldn\u2019t want to be accused of false advertising. But Yates and his collaborators seem enamored of their \u201cJumanji\u201d-on-acid zoo exhibit in a way that is easier to admire than to share. At a certain point, the animals start to feel like a frenetic distraction from the movie\u2019s more pressing human concerns. (There\u2019s a reason Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped visiting Hagrid\u2019s cottage after a while.)<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, when Newt has the misfortune to let a few of his beasts loose on the streets of New York, he soon finds himself embroiled in the ugly tensions riling this corner of the wizarding world. While the nonmagical Muggles \u2014\u00a0or No-Majs, as they are called Stateside \u2014 live in blissful ignorance of the wizards and witches among them, the promise of peaceful coexistence, always precarious even in the best of times, has come under extremist threats from within and without.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA), led by the imposing President Seraphina Picquery (Carmen Ejogo) and her security chief, Percival Graves (Colin Farrell), are troubled by the activities abroad of Gellert Grindelwald, a sinister proto-Voldemort figure who has risen on a tide of wizard-supremacist sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum is Mary Lou (Samantha Morton), the severe leader of an anti-magic group known as the Second Salemers, who resemble refugees from a future touring production of \u201cThe Crucible.\u201d Their cause is taken up in part by Langdon Shaw (Ronan Raftery), the black-sheep son of a William Randolph Hearst-style newspaper magnate (<a id=\"PECLB003907\" title=\"Jon Voight\" href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/topic\/entertainment\/movies\/jon-voight-PECLB003907-topic.html\">Jon Voight<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the task of easing these conflicts falls to a scrappy band of outsiders, led by Newt, the eccentric foreigner, and Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a former magical investigator trying to earn her way back into MACUSA\u2019s good graces. They also stumble on an unexpected ally in Jacob Kowalski (an endearing Dan Fogler), a good-hearted working-class New Yorker\u00a0who yearns only to open his own bakery\u00a0and winds up bitten by a Murtlap \u2014 which struck me as a kind of armadillo-sea anemone hybrid \u2014 for his troubles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"trb_ar_page\" data-role=\"pagination_page\" data-content-page=\"2\">\n<p>Like an optimistic stand-in for the No-Majs in the audience, the wide-eyed Jacob soon finds himself happily lost in this world of enchantments \u2014\u00a0few of them more spellbinding than Tina\u2019s mind-reading sister, Queenie (Alison Sudol), who brings a warm flush of romance to the movie\u2019s muted, pre-Depression palette. (With her red hair and affinity for Muggles, is Queenie perhaps related to the Weasley family? Time will tell.) But for all its eccentric, period-appropriate touches \u2014\u00a0the flapper house-elf gets a nice chuckle \u2014\u00a0the movie at times makes for surprisingly grim going.<\/p>\n<p>Suspicion, paranoia, collective amnesia and other troubling real-world undercurrents are nothing new in Rowling\u2019s universe. The \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series effectively told the story of a civil war seven years in the making, waged by wizards with an obsession with blood purity and an inherent distrust for presumed-inferior species. A popular storyteller and a committed anti-populist, Rowling hasn\u2019t hidden the influence of recent headlines on her work, which would be implicit even if she hadn\u2019t spoken out against Brexit or compared Donald Trump to Voldemort.<\/p>\n<p>As allegories go, \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them\u201d is elastic enough to support any number of readings. In the wake of several violent attacks on New York, causing all manner of social,\u00a0political and architectural upheaval, the movie makes the compelling argument that the willful repression of one\u2019s supernatural abilities can lead only to destruction and chaos \u2014\u00a0a point that harks back to <a id=\"PECLB003709\" title=\"Bryan Singer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/topic\/entertainment\/bryan-singer-PECLB003709-topic.html\">Bryan Singer<\/a>\u2019s \u201cX-Men\u201d movies, with their resonant subtext equating mutant powers with homosexuality.<\/p>\n<p>The specter of comic-book-based franchise filmmaking is not one to be invoked lightly. Like any number of action-adventure movies that seem to exist mainly to ensure your interest in the next one, \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them\u201d gestures in the direction of topical relevance, mistakes a lot of noisy digital spectacle for drama, and introduces a host of characters who are just engaging enough that you wouldn\u2019t mind seeing them again.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it both benefits and suffers from the relentless\u00a0commercial logic that has, for the moment, placed a bit of a stranglehold on its own considerable magic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source:\u00a0latimes.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is anyone safe?\u201d That troubling newspaper headline appears mere seconds into \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,\u201d a movie about a world being steadily torn apart by panic, violence, xenophobia and political revolt \u2014\u00a0you know, a fantasy.
