An average movie

Since this movie had a rather bad rep, I had rather low expectations before watching this flick. Furthermore, I thought that the first sequel was really abysmal, especially when you take into account that it was directed by someone like Steven Spielberg. Eventually, I must admit that I was actually positively surprised by this 3rd installment. I mean, of course, it was not a masterpiece whatsoever but, at least, it was better than the preposterous second movie. Obviously, Joe Johnston is no Steven Spielberg but I thought the directing was good enough and it was full of pretty awesome action scenes. Furthermore, the casting composed of Sam Neill, William H. Macy and Téa Leoni did a good job. To be honest, this movie didn´t add much to the whole concept but I think is rather difficult to expand it and, as a result, they pretty much end up repeating basically the same story over and over again (that´s why I don´t really see the point of making a fourth one). To conclude, in spite of the bad word of mouth, I thought it was actually a rather well made and entertaining blockbuster extravaganza and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you enjoyed the previous installments.
