Even though the magic is creative, it's so inconsistent and so confusing in how it works that it's frustrating to watch rather than awe-inspiring. It's a two and a half hour movie that should be an hour long. The story just consist of characters wandering around and either chilling in the background or completing a task that has absolutely no bearing on the main conflict. 90% of the characters could be missing from the story, or replaced with planks of wood, and not a single thing of note would change. Just like the last movie, this has a screenplay that desperately tries to find reasons to keep these characters in the story, and it fails spectacularly. In fact, the best thing I can say about this "film" is that you can go to the bathroom during it without worrying about missing something there's hardly anything important to miss. It's sometimes funny and often creative, and it's an improvement over its predecessor by default, simply because rather than only 5% of the plot being consequential, about 30% of the plot is consequential.
