This movie is a mess. It's a rare case of good acting, exciting action, astonishing effects, decent characters, believable dialogue but... The story is missing. With a confusing and divergent narrative this film fails to keep the audience interested. In fact it's hard to keep track when there are subplots within subplots and key moments happening offscreen. Beside a lot of subplots are dragged for to long.

Unfortunately, the protagonist ends up losing relavance as the Franchise's Theme (Fantastic Beasts) is only a detail in the story. Unacceptable!

The villain is terrifying, has valid motivations and it's very well interpreted by Johnny Depp, nevertheless over the course of the movie he becomes more and more incoherent with himself.

As a whole, this movie can be enjoyable at times however it's extremly shaken by an uninspired story and terrible pacing. A huge let down...
