Loved this movie

This is a must see for all Harry Potter fans. Newt is a fantastic main character and in this film he and everyone else have some hard decisions to make.
There are a few different story lines in the movie, so Newt isn't the only character that holds your attention. All of these stories meet in the end, and the ending leaves the viewer with more questions. I think the movie ended in a really good spot. It felt complete while still making me look forward to the next installment.
The only real problem with this movie is that at times it doesn't follow universal rules that were introduced in Harry Potter. These things are usually very minor, and I think a lot of people won't notice them right away. For me that was the only downside to the movie I would have preferred they stayed true to the original.

Kudos

I completely agree with your last paragraph and I wasn't thrilled with the recon of canon, at all.

Great performances

I missed out on watching this when it was out at the cinema and I’m really disappointed I did, especially as it is actually quite good.

I didn’t know anything about true story about Tonya Harding, so for me this film was a real eye opener. It’s a fascinating story and the film features some great performances from both Margot Robbie and Sebastian Stan. However it’s Alison Janney that steals the entire film as the mother from hell, she’s horrible yet absolutely hilarious too. The way this film unfolds using a documentary style storytelling really works and makes for such an entertaining film. The film drags a little during certain parts, and it’s a little ambiguous as to whether you should feel truly sorry for Tonya or not, especially with the conflicting stories between her and Jeff. But it’s the brilliant cast and the unique story telling theta really make this film worth watching.
