A step back. Extremely boring.

Rating: 2/10 (6 July 2020)

Again the execution is terrible. The movie has awful pace and no grace. The director choses to make everything slow, like thinking the kids in the audience wouldn't be able to follow a brisker pace, but without filling the scenes with anything other than plot related stuff. So the scenes are filled with exposition and not much else other typical bad jokes here and there. The exception is Kenneth Branagh (with limited time). Other than that, this movie is too boring and dull.
And it repeats itself too much with the same structure over and over. Harry investigates; danger; something magical (often from an external source) saves him at the last second; scene is over. Harry investigates; danger; something magical saves him at the last second; scene is over. And repeat. It's lame.
The story itself also isn't particularly great, but I guess another director could've created a more enjoying experience out of it. Without the production values and score, this movie would be unwatchable. It almost is.
