Good but a little indulgent

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2019)

Some of the reviews are a little extreme. It's not a great film, but it's not bad. It's probably not a good film. It's certainly at least okay.
It's definitely indulgent and certain scenes don't at all feel earned. I'm generally quite emotionally involved with films, so it's telling I didn't really feel emotionally impacted even in massive moments of the film.
The action scenes weren't up to much unfortunately, with nothing new and creative. At times so much happened that I didn't real feel anything had much impact.
There was very little development through the film and somehow, despite massive opportunities, it wasn't at all particularly creative.
It was still fun though, it still had some likable characters, lots of references and nods. It at least ends a story we've been following for decades. It was never going to live up to the journey. After all, it's never really about the end, it's about the journey.
