Reviewer notes
RecommendedWell, the problem with having a part one is that you just know that nothing much is going to happen as we build up to the next film's denouement.…
Not recommendedTrusted family reviewersYet more of the same extended in an inexcusable way. Let's hope the last movie of the saga can get a proper end.
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersIt was good. Although I wish it had more action scenes. It's worth watching ago don't miss out!
