UFFF, this movie is bad. I hold this saga in a very special place in my heart but surprisingly I didnt watch this movie when it came out, I just had other stuff to do. But I recently went on a marathon watching all the movies from this saga and it was my first time watching this. I had a lot of hopes, knowing it was the previous one before the big finale, having a decent terrifying monster, I was even glad I was just going to watch the characters I love in another fun adventure. My hopes were completly destroyed after watching this. From the start the movie feels weird, now mixing the War of Independence with the story, it was something unnecessarily that added nothing to the plot. And now instead of having our usual team of ghosts and alebrijes with Leo solving the problem with the monster, new characters whose names I have already forgotten come in and stick around for the rest of the movie. The monster is barely in the movie, it gets sidelined with the new side characters talking about the war and stuff, and when the monster is finally in the story, he barely does anything besides killing some Spanish soldiers we dont care about. And the old friends of Leo? They get trapped by an animal that has nothing to do with the story and they all do absolutely nothing. They try to make the characters fight but it happens so random that I was just laughing. In the 3rd movie the 2 plots didnt had nothing to do with one another but at least one of them was good or entertaining, here, both are bad and boring. The jokes are once again a problem; the 3rd one was a downgrade from the first 2 but you could still have fun, But in this one, I dont remember a single time I laughed or smiled for something that had happened. A big let down.
