THE KNEEJERK CRITIC MOVIE REVIEW : Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

So eto na nga ang truly knee-jerk and totally un-PC reaction ko habang nanonood ng #fantasticbeastsandwheretofindthem …

Autistic ba si Eddie Redmayne dito?

Bago niyo ako i-bash, hear me out first kung bakit i felt Newt Scamander as played by Eddie was channeling some sort of autism. Una, wititit siya make ng eye-contact pag nakikipag-usap and hinding behind his mahangin-sa-labas bangs.

Two, very singular focus-oriented siya kebs sa societal norms. Meron siyang naisipang kailangang gawin sa New York so gumora siya basta, bitibit ang maleta-ful of his fantastic beasts. Kebs niya na sira ang lock ng maleta at nakaka-escape ang mga alaga niya. Kebs na in case makatakas ang mga alaga niya, they could cause major disturbance. Say niya wititit raw dangerous ang mga creatures pero hindi naman kailangang maging dangerous per se para makapaghasik ng destruction de ba.

Three, kaya niyang hulihin at paamuin ang mga creatures na itey. Eh di ba ang mga creatures, knows nila kapag may special needs ang bogets na kaharap nila?

And Four, may sarili siyang mundo. Literally. Nasa loob ng maleta niya.

Althrouout na movie, may disconnect ako sa performance ni Eddie. Hindi ko siya ma-like alongside sa female lead niya na kebs ko nang alamin ang name. Mas concerned pa ako sa reactions ni Kowalski, yung majubis a second lead. Mas nagruroot pa ako sa kanya to get the girl. When the audience finds the second leads more charming and relatable than the actual leads, parang may problema.

Wala akong masabi sa effects. Bongga siya. Made to be seen on 3D Imax. Keribels ang kwento. Pasok sa banga sa universe ni Harry Potter. Eksenadora yung magnanakawa na beast na mukhang platypus. Very couture ang severe an haircut ni ezra Miller. Bet ko yung female president na parang si Xman Storm na nakaturban. At anggaling ni Johnny Depp bilang Colin Farrel playing the vilain. Oo, hindi si Colin yun, it was Johnny all along. Charot.

Ang problema ko talaga ay ang artisitic choices ni Eddie. I felt he over-thought the part that he forgot to have fun. Kailangan talagang bigyan ng handicap ang bida parang clubfoot at hunchback ni Richard III? Sumishakespeare ka dudong? JK Rowking ito neng. Si Daniel Radcliffe nakuha ang timpla when he was 11 by being real in a fnatastical world.

Get’s ko naman na actor ka Eddie as in Actor with capital A at may Oscar award. You dont have to channel it sa lahat ng movies. Achulee at certain points sa movie, inbes na si Newt, teh Danish Girl at si Stenphen Hawkings ang nakikita ko. This is not the movie we will judge your career on, so lighten up na ok. I will give you 4 sequels more to lighten uo, tapos baka gumive up na ako sa iyo.
