This sequel is of the same level as the first movie. It's a bit of entertainment, for the whole family, with some good CGI moments. If you don't like fantasy movies with weird creatures and alot of CGI's then you shouldn't watch this one because that's basically the whole movie. The story is okay, just a bit more complicated than the first movie, but still a movie to watch with the whole family, kids included. The acting is okay from most of the actors excepted from the main character Newt Scamander played by Eddie Redmayne. To me he's just a mediocre actor but that's my opinion. Like in the first movie he's the weakest link and both movies could have been better with another actor.
