One of the better entries in the series, but it's still a bit too epic and cheesy for my taste. The action scenes are more animated, and the presentation received some extra polish. The problem lies with the more dramatic scenes in between, which are overly long and completely mess up the pacing of the film.

The performances aren't the greatest, but they're okay for a blockbuster like this. The plot is too messy for a 4-part film spread across a period of 5 years, but it's only a problem for those who aren't fully invested in the story. The action scenes stood out, but the weaknesses of the previous films remained, and the runtime is a bit of an issue, too. While a step up from previous films, I don't need any more sequels, and I hope Sato is freed to make something more worthwhile.
