I remember when the TV version first came out in 1980s and never watching it. So when I heard they were making a movie based on it wasn't sure if I would like it but it really is good performances from the cast good script maybe I should go back and the TV version

Bad lighting for interior scenes
All emotion was drained
Really wanted to love it
Tonight I watch both versions back-to-back as the original Eastwood version is one of my favorite of his films. This new version removes any emotion form most of the characters and situations and leaves us nothing to replace it. I don't mind if the movie is told from the "female" point of view, whatever that means, but the screenplay for this story still has to be interesting, emotional and intense and this has none. The actors (except Colin Farrell who is awful in everything) do the best with the material they are given; however, this more "sterilized" version of the story doesn't hold a candle to the original. I generally think Sofia Coppola is overrated as a director and would never have gone anywhere in Hollywood without her last name.

Firstly, Denzel Washington did an excellent job, as did Colin Farrell. Israel is a lawyer, that stays behind in the office, building cases, while his law partner, argues the cases. The film covers a span of three weeks, and how everything changed after a single event. It was a little slow in the beginning, but it picked up, and ended the way you figured it would. Overall, a good movie.

The usual Guy Ritchie gangster romp
Anybody who has seen a Guy Ritchie gangster flick will not be disappointed. The usual colourful characters, language and violence run right through with never a dull moment. Expect the plot twists and turns common in his films. Hugh Grant's performance is a fresh change from his usual stiff upper lip, straight laced British posh chap he is famous for.

I really liked this movie, but it could have been so much more. I wanted to see Newt hunting the magical beasts all over the world. Hopefully, some of that gets into the next film. What I did not like: Johnny Depp. Why was he in the movie? Why did WB spend money on hiring him? They should have just kept Colin Farrell as Grindelwald.
The niffler was by far, my favorite beast.
