Slight spoilersBecause it was a good story . There were magical beasts that were amazing and weird . The actors and characters were able to draw me in and keep me there throughout the whole movie . I don ' t think they were jamming in too many references but I mean this could be said about any movie that ' s based off of a book . Either there are too many things and too little time or there are things that are left out . I think the only characters that were , in my opinion , unlikable was GravesGrindelwald and Mary Lou . These characters were meant to be unlikable though and they succeeded . I felt for Credence . His hatred , his anger , his sadness and at the end I wanted him to kill Graves . On the other end I loved Newt . He was quirky and crazy and amazing . I also loved Kowalski . I loved the relationship between him and Queenie . I could go on and on about what I loved . You obviously didn ' t see it that way , and that ' s fine . We are entitled to our opinions .
