A hark back to some timeless classics for a modern audience and those clinging to nostalgia, complete with comfortable characters, now-cliche/predictable story and unfortunately plastic CGI that feels completely out of place. But fuck it, it’s harmless fun.

 

Looks flashy like Star Trek, feels cozy like The Goonies, acts important like Jurassic Park and sounds fucking terrible like Transformers.

A little long but a lot of fun, with magnetic performances and a knockout ending. The franchise is finally back on track.

Our reviews are short. Really short. Deal with it.

Slow and barely funny, it’s like watching the first movie with the colours cranked up. Great photography, though.

Tight as a drum, with heartfelt performances and a philosophically resonant script, it only falters in the last reel.

Our reviews are short. Really short. Deal with it.

Smaller, cheaper, but no less baffling than the last two, it’s like an incoherent and soulless caricature of the first.
