Excellent analysis, but did you like the movie?

Make it so...

Optimist!

I'll echo Wild Bill: while this is great, it feels like it's only the first half of the review.

I'm not considering this an actual review of the film, because there isn't a single sentence in it that even references STB. But, as a gentle reminder that this is a tentpole movie franchise that maybe still has something relevant to tell us, it's as good a statement as any for keeping it going.

I just hope the movie actually does that...
