Reviews

[Ill D · Rating 3 out of 5]

Heaving off the failures of the last two, significant improvements have been gained here. While perforated with a swiss-cheese like peppering of comical antics the positives are significant: much needed character development, a female love-interest that is actually romantic for a change, and a solid dose of charm that was mindbogglingly devoid in the previous volumes. Yet, with all the good does this still stack up to the movies?

Kinda.

There’s fun. There’s enjoyment. But still grasping at the straws there’s still nothing to really sink our teeth intro.

Gets just a little bit too fantastic at the end...
