I have to say that while watching it, I found it filled with flaws. There seemed to be many structural problems, some pacing issues, and it suffered from being a little messy. Definitely a lot of things to nitpick. However, it still fared very well with me. The experience was one filled with a lot of joy and wonder, which is what these films are supposed to induce. As flawed as it was, I realized that I did form an emotional connection to the film and to its characters. The main foursome is a really strong batch of characters and I would be glad to join them on any adventure. So after seeing several reviews where disappointment was the recurring theme, I actually found this to be a bit better than that. A great film? Probably not. But a very good one indeed and a more than solid start to this franchise.
