Paint by the numbers fan service with some alright-ish effects but overall just kind of lazy and very(!) predictable from start to finish.
The tone also seems kind of all over the place, jumping from sketch comedy to marvel-like superhero destruction stuff all the way to some really, really dark stuff.
Spoilers below:
One of the main plot pieces is physical abuse by an in stable adoptive lunatic mother, some dude is thrown 10 meters in the air and killed while his body slams down on the floor (if the magic didn't kill him the fall surely would have), there is a "death sentence" scene which shows how the death sentence would have been carried out back than, which seriously gets more disturbing the more you think about the details. Aside the fact, that one man is judge and jury without further questioning and the death penalty is executed right away, the way they do it is somewhat sadistic and grim. A White Room for killing purposes only where the sentenced is lured onto a chair by their own memories which is then slowly submerged into a deadly pool of some kind of magic toxic stuff while the one up next is watching. Compared to that sh*t even the electric chair seems somewhat humane...
From there its back to action, comedy and wacky creatures doing funny bits... Later half the city is destroyed by a black cloud while all the "nomags" (seriously stupid name for muggles BTW.) are watching, but fear not ! Deus ex machina is here to safe the day, even though it's one of the worst executed ones in recent memory and has some serious logical issues no matter how far your suspense of disbelief has gone by that point. Not even gonna talk about the blatant foreshadowing (as if the plot would have been hard to guess without it) or the ending where literally anyone could have told you every single scene and how that would play out within the first ten minutes of the movie, since all the loose ends had to be tied up with the ultimate happy ending for everyone.
