This was unexpectedly worthy. I don't actually like this franchise, but this episode is worthy if for no other reason than the principles excel themselves. Aficionados will, I'm sure, disagree with my comments.
In and of itself this works just fine. It still leaves the franchise open for more, with an intriguing twist at the end. This is not smart cinematography, characters appear, disappear, drop out. Even the action is mediocre, given that this originally was action personified. However, its an intriguing theme that perpetuates itself, like any good meme.
In summary, well worth a watch if you like this genre, even if its devolved to light entertainment.
Me, I think the underlying theme has serious legs, but (and yes there can only be a but in this sentence) its parochial and can go so much further.
