To me, this movie is perfection.
Just perfect...
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
