Rehashed and Lackluster

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2017)

**I couldn't actually write this review without putting in "some" spoilers.**
Before people lose it, hear me out.
I've been a huge fan of the entire series since it's birth and I just felt that this, the latest installment fell short.
They don't make proper use of Will and Elizabeth despite them being the central figures in the story to date. While I'm all for introducing new Characters and it was a delight to see the next generation come into it and the ties to there parents and how there parents actions, actions we witnessed as the movies went on affected them growing up.
As a writer, I just felt they could have done so much more with the main theme of the story, I mean re-introducing the "undead" element back into the fray, I mean really? Despite it playing a key role in how one of the key characters came to be who he is, they could come up with better.
Cons: -Poor use of Key Characters -Poor choice of theme -too much CGI (having worked on the vikings, always have more Set than CGI, the effort pays off in the finished product.
Pros: -I liked how the next generation was portrayed and how that particular story-line played out, truly enjoyable -Great humor -Some truly seat gripping moments
I give this such a low score because it falls short compared to all of its predecessors.
