Excellent but underrated film
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
