I loved the first film but sadly, for me, this film was just more of the same and flatter somehow.
I didn't feel the music and sound had the same impact as the first film - or maybe it wasn't as novel as when shown in the first film. I enjoyed the film on the whole, and was engaged but it felt rather empty somehow. The special effects were all very good but the setting and action just felt like a continuation of the last film (which of course it was) but it left me wanting more - despite the new characters. When it finished and the lights came up, everyone just sat there rather silent and it felt like we'd all been a bit lulled rather than having just watched something special. A shame as I've been looking forward to seeing this for ages. It also felt very much like this film series is just going to stretch on and on and on for years to come in order to cover the whole story and books. I will wait for them to be streamed next time rather than bothering to experience them in a cinema.
