Short Review

It runs like a narrative-distance sequel supposedly in the middle of an arc, but it is now clearer when the engagement had lessened enough to validate that these films are for the fans with knowledgeable awareness. There's enough story, and performative energy in capturing the emotions, to subtly summarize the preceding events for newcomers visiting yet another self-contained, inconsequential, elementally evolved, simplistically scripted filler that picks up once the stakes are truly realized. At the end, the action satisfies, and the dynamical antics still make the characterization likable with charm-like strength and fun humor. (B)
