I want to say first off that I am a huge HP fan. Love the movies, love the books. Secondly I loved the first Fantastic Beasts movie. I was really looking forward to seeing the second one and well... I’m very disappointed.
Although I feel like this movie will still be loved and enjoyed, especially by people who love action packed, fast-paced and magic filled movies. If this is you, you will probably enjoy this movie.
For me, I was really looking forward to seeing some more character and relationship development, explore the magical world more (especially when I heard they were in Paris!), and really take in the developing story. In my opinion, I didn’t find any of this in the movie.
To me, this movie was way too fast paced, random and disorganized. I didn’t really have time to digest what was going on before they were jumping onto something else (seemingly pointless and random things). The main goal of the movie was...? I don’t even know what. It seemed like a bunch of little plots all jumbled together. I could go on...
I guess the first one was just so magical and charming, with beautiful character introduction and development, and a very clear story and point/ goal. This one just seemed choppy in comparison. But if you don’t really care about that and you just want to see a cool movie about magic and lots of twists then this is your movie!
