Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
