man, i came here to see if anyone else disliked it as much as i did. I'm clearly in the minority. i really can't think of a single redeeming factor. nothing about it made me feel like it was a good sequel OR stand-alone movie . more just a failed mish-mosh of throwbacks and nostalgia, marred by terrible writing and acting. and before anyone tells me it's not supposed to be a cinematic tour-de-force, i get that. that's one of my favorite characteristics of the first two. but at least those didn't lose my attention and caring at 9 different points during the films. it takes a lot for me to feel like a 1hr 12min film is way too long. that was this movie's only accomplishment to me.
