Fantastic Beasts Review! (Spoilers)
This is basically just a big rant about how I think Tina Goldstein deserves better.
*** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED **** SPOILERS ****
Okay not even gonna lie I was disappointed in this movie. Maybe I just had to much hope in ma girl Tina but I wanted so much more from her!
In all the interviews and everything they were talking about how Tina had this newfound ‘confidence’ and while she did I felt like she did absolutely nothing with it.
I really wanted to see her protecting Credence because I feel like she is/will be the only one who can get through to him because she was the first person to show him kindness/protection from his mother in FBAWTFT.
Also, the first half of the movie I feel like we didn’t even see her and they kept talking about her roaming around France and when we finally see her she’s been captured?? Like no way sis she has so much more smarts than that.
During the big-ass cemetery fight scene she had literally no role… her only effort to save Queenie was like screaming her name as she walks into the flames?? Like no sis.
LIKE WHAT DID SHE DO THIS MOVIE?? LITERALLY NOTHING. SHE GOT NEWT AND THE GANG TO FOLLOW HER TO PARIS??
WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE HER GRIEVE QUEENIE. We saw like 3 minutes of Theseus and Leta’s goodbye… no offence but I don’t really care although I am mad at another female death
I just feel like the OG Team was really overlooked and undervalued in this movie and that makes me a bit sad
In saying that things I liked;
- NEWT LITERALLY RUNNING THROUGH HIS HOUSE LOOKING FOR TINA WHEN JACOB AND QUEENIE ARRIVE
- costumes and score were really really noiceee
- QUEENIE EVERYTHING QUEENIE except for that which we will not mention
- Newt’s adorable Tina smiley newspaper clipping he had in his case which he then very proudly showed to her
- BIG CAT/NIFFLERS/EVERYONE OF THE BEASTS
- Tina being mad at Newt and referring to him as “Mr. Scamander” knowing full well it will throw him off
- lady telling newt to take his shirt off
NONETHELESS, I’m sure this is all in JK’s plan to setup some pretty epic movies I’m just super salty we have to wait a few years for more
