The first 'Fantastic Beasts' was a fun romp, it had endearing characters with a pretty forgettable but amusing plot and great effects to tie it all together. As someone who grew up with Harry Potter, seeing something new set in that universe was fun!

This movie was 2 hours of pure boredom. All of the character the first one had's been flushed down the toilet to just grab a quick buck from the people who love hearing Names We Know From Harry Potter and gobble this garbage up because references to the source material must mean the movie was well-written. I feel bad for Eddie Redmayne for being stuck with this stilted script, he could've carried the film like he did the first one but even his work couldn't save this trash fire.

Don't waste your time, this was duller than Jude Law's heather grey Dumbledore suit.
