This one is far better than the first installment. Basically, the direction of this movie is clearly defined and all the subplots are pointing to the same target. The tone is darker in general and the story is deeper involved in Harry Potter's world. Magical creatures are better controled in this movie, not absorbing much relevance in the plot, what, in my opinion, was a lack of the first film.

The cast is great. Apart from great and highly announced additions of Jude Law and Johnny Depp, who are as good as always, there are surprising great newcomers as Zoe Kravitz and Callum Turner, between others. Honorable mention to the last one, not only for performing a very interesting new character, but also with very good acting (specially in the polyjuice potion moment).

But not everything is perfect. I find the principal con of this film in the commercial perception of it. This film transmits a bussiness sensation that doesn't fit very well, because it seems to be made thinking more in the box office than in the story that is telling. To do this, it contains some topics of nowadays film just because it is the latest in entertainment filming. A huge quantity of references for excited fans, plot twists that seem forced, unnatural return of characters, etc.

I think the secret to enjoy this film, and some others of today, is to assume that it won't reach the level of its precedents. I expected the highest level for 'FB and where to find them' and I felt quite dissapointed. When I found what this not-so-needed re-opening of Harry Potter saga could go, I understood to watch these films simply to enjoy.

However, I was waiting with hype to see this movie, to check if I was right. After watching it, I consider that I did well with my decission of leaving the evaluation of 'Fantastic Beasts' saga to the moment after watching the sequel, because I found the entertainment I wanted, despite I have assumed that it won't reach the level of Harry Potter books. All that said, it is a good movie, I enjoyed it, and I will go to see the third one, which I hope to enjoy without having that commercial sensation.
