True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
