I know I'll be in the minority on this but I really didn't like this movie.

I felt it was too long and it had way too many storylines and villians. It's hard to get invested in any character when all you see of that person is about 10 minutes of screen time.

I think this movie is a good example of what happens when you let producers and the people holding the money bag influence what you do. I know this movie made a lot of money but that's not because it was a good movie. It's because it really was the only big action blockbuster that came out at the time and people were eagerly anticipating the release since the first 2 movies were pretty decent. I just think this movie would've benefitted from having a least one villian chopped out and saved for the next movie.

If you haven't seen it in the theater already, don't bother. Just rent it and enjoy it at home without the 800 ADD kids kicking your seat.
