The movie jumps around far too much without thread or tandem. It maybe one of those movies you only truly understand and fully comprehend after watching it many times, in tandem with what's to follow. Meaning, this is a cash cow filler, riding the back of the previous movie and without the next movie, I see no real need nor desire to watch this movie again.

It's very nostalgic and romantic with period details especially the fashion where not a piece of clothing is out of place and rarely is it untidy.

It's so far not out of place and overly too tidy, as to appear a certain artistic merit, eye and purpose that is devoid of any realism even if it is artistic and appealing to the eye and nostalgia. It does to the eye what the movie does to the rewriting of history and political driven storyline into a game of two half's.

It's "just a movie" and all that but what really lets it down is this need to make the movie about some other context other than that which belongs within the world of magic.

It's attempts to breach paths of the normal/muggle/No-maj "No Magic world" with that of this other magic world, where their main problems are too normal, political and that of a human nature devoid of magic. It's in a sense, these issues the magic world have that they shouldn't and wouldn't have these normal problems, if they're to be magical at all.

Yet, here we are watching a magical spin on very normal problems. This lets it down. (Although, indeed if this was done correctly is also what could have made it a masterpiece. Yet this is far from such in my opinion.)

Also the mentality of this us versus them, their is no fence for anyone and you just pick a side and stick to it a very George Bush mentality. (If you think George Bush is magical then you will of course have no issue with this.)

The movie overall has far to much Politics to be enjoyable for many.

It has too many institutions, just like in our real world "devoid of magic" due to politics, desiring the enslavement of it's peoples into the worship and surrendering of its peoples and our individual authority, our blind obedience, by a people whom claim to act within our interests but seldom do. Just like in our real world they're self serving institutions whom demand our authority or they'll tie our hands just as happened to Dumbledoors.

While this is a nice touch, what isn't, is that this should be looked upon as ok. As though this is acceptable behaviour from someone other than a tyrant, control freak or a Big Brother Orwellian State.

As though "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about". This mentalities justified and just stood back and accepted within this movie, when they're some of the most dangerous and acts of tyrants. It's the like of what the true dark side would be behind, not the actions of "Good Guys" whom have made themselves the protectors of those whom have been forced to surrender such institutions their authority, like it or not... That's tyranny and it of course remains unexplored and justified?

Yet, we're to accept the romantic notion that everything will be alright in the end as good will triumph, in an old Good Versus Evil Game which must be taken seriously as the game itself is imposed to be serious and for you to accept like it or not. This is the game of tyrants whichever side or role you choose to take on. It always justified the unthinkable for a cause which believes itself to be righteous while they're played off side against side, while the true tyrants sit back and watch the world being torn into two halves so they can eventually intervene, divide and conquer.

As you can see, many people whom would even disagree with my analysis here, there's far too much political spin within this movie that just shouldn't be here and their should be no need whatsoever for it to be here. We shouldn't have to think in such a manner to enjoy this movie or base our opinions. It shouldn't be about "if you don't do politics, you don't really do anything". That's propaganda.

The only reason it is, is so us normal people watching it will pick our very own and "real" sides and is the artificial grooming of a largely younger audience, into the worship of some form or another authority whom claims to work within their interests. All too often, such being the use of tyrants to usurp the power of an indoctrinated masses. Via the likes of such a concept within this movie..

It's not a choice nor a question. It's simply a fact we have to surrender our power too institutions whom wouldn't have any authority if we didn't surrender that power to them.

It's a strange double bind we all should be informed about via the play of such movies and it shouldn't be ignored if it's not driven for the sake of blind acceptance of such political notions of corruption of the hearts and minds of the masses.

Such isn't questioned in this movie and overall, I'm sure it's predominately an argument over something which shouldn't be here in the first instance and the only reason it appears to be is to polarise issues as only politics can do and it's this which makes such a world lacking of magic, as they haven't banished politics to the basement of Hell so no such wars via polarisation could ever be possible.

Instead, the movie polarises? Do you see my point?

If you can see past this or such propaganda has been lost upon you, as you've just accepted this movie as a movie, what you have left is a movie which jumps around from here and there to give the illusion of magic - Ironic or not so much?

As magic and wonder certainly isn't the centrepiece of this movie but rather politics under a cloak of darkness, as being magic when it couldn't be any further away from wonder and magic, while it's this all too traditional polarisation. You could be confused as though this is dark magic by the conductors of politics. It's not magic at all but the banishment of any concept of magic or spiritual finesse.

I'm sure many people would have picked up on this subconsciously if not consciously that something is very different in this respect to that of the previous movie. At least for the most part...

This shows within the context of the movie itself by it being so clumsy and lacking of focus upon an otherwise incomprehensible script. If it would have lost the politics and focused upon the magic I'm sure many of us would have been happier as the reason many people would indulge in such a movie, is as a form of escapism from such mundane day to day political BS.

Instead, people who make this movie certainly must know this fact and have reframed to many of us a political concept of divide, rule and conquer by this repackaging. It's purely and the greatest reason I don't like or enjoy the experience of watching this movie and find it very deceptive and a let down of what could have otherwise been an enjoyable experience, especially for the eyes. Yet a direction within script is lost without the politics I've mentioned as the politics is what the script is centred around entirely.

This movie is politics and not magic.

Rather it is the Inversion of magic, it's an ideology devoid of any concept of magic, seeking to use a magic driven storyline for political ends, the banishment of any real magic for that of a political universe. If you don't mind this deception or see it and can agree with the message you may otherwise enjoy this movie anyway. I sadly can not.
