This is the first time I have seen any of the highly successful POC fantasy/adventure films. So, I am not familiar with the characters or the stories of the first two films and therefore cannot make comparisons between the three films.
My impressions:
Positive:
* Visually and technically impressive: cinematography, visual effects,sound effects and mixing, production design.
* Time is devoted to individual character development and stories.
* Disney's usual playful and sometimes childish humor help keep the dialogue scenes lively and fun
* There's enough action, visual effects and characters to hold interest through it's long running time of 2 hours and 48 minutes
Negative:
*Overwritten: complicated story and plot that are left open in regards to several major central and supporting characters.
PS: For fans: there is a surprise worth waiting for after the closing credits.
