After the excellent, charming first installment, this one appeared to rely too much on a lot of posturing and a rousing score to try and tug on the viewers heartstrings. A convoluted plot that I didn't care much for and too many characters didn't help either. Seems to be trying too hard to be an Empire Strikes Back for the 20th century, teeing up the plot for future installments and continuing the franchise. Less Fantastic Beasts, more Posturing Overpaid Actors & Where to Find Them.
