I bought the box set as I recently finally watched Harry Potter after being convinced I'd hate it but actually quite enjoyed it. So thought I'd try these, the first one I thought was really good, quirky, fun and easy going, this was rubbish, it was everything I dislike about films when they start bringing in the big guns, the films lose the charm.

Whilst I don't mind depp in pirates or Alice I do find his tim button stuff a bit pretentious and tiresome and this felt of that ilk, I just really didn't enjoy anything about him, his presentation, his character, powers, just nothing clicked for me, as for Jude law, I'm yet to see a film of his where he's been remotely decent, most overrated actor of all time.

I enjoy Jacob and Tina think they're fine, queen he is just a bit meh, the beasts as always were great, but as the humans were more of the focus here it really lost points, surely the whole idea of fantastic beasts should be the beasts.

Lastly my biggest gripe about the first was back in full effect here, newt the mumbler, dear lord I had to put subtitles on when he speaks, his delivery is so peculiar and weak it's really hard to understand what he's saying, 4 of us watched it, none of us have hearing problems yet we all said the same.

It's just a long, pointless dull film where not much happens, the credence character being such a big part of it when you're just not led to care about him is weird. Not looking forward to the third.
