Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
