I went to watch this mainly as my daughter is a massive fan of all things Potter. I thought it lacked some of the action on the 1st fantastic beasts film. It felt rather slow and I agree with people that have talked about too many convoluted subplots. As others have said it feels like a filler aimed at explaining the plot ready for the next movies in the series. Bit too much CGI for my liking too and not enough character development. It was OK but not great. My daughter enjoyed it more I think but even she wasn't raving about it having been going on about wanting to see it for months!
