Man. The hate this movie is getting is mind boggling to me. I saw it in IMAX today and loved every second of it. Super entertaining, full of action, and packed with great story. The first half of the film reflects the original a lot, but there's purpose to that. And I thought it was very well executed. The second half is completely original, and offers up new, exciting ideas. I loved the new characters and enjoyed the fact that there was some comic relief and personality as opposed to the typical robotic dialogue that the first three installments relied so heavy on. I don't know, man. Lighten up. It was a really solid movie. See it. Enjoy it. Have fun with it. That's what a movie like this was meant for.

I read several of the reviews here before watching the film myself. The one criticism I found was the time jumping back and forth and how it was hard to follow. I didn't find it hard to follow at all, and I appreciated the time jumping. In my opinion it serves a purpose to give the audience a breath of fresh air from the heavy, depressing moments. Imagine if all of the incredibly sad scenes we're compiled together in the last 45 minutes to an hour as opposed to broken up by the more light hearted moments intermittently throughout. This movie is fantastic and I wouldn't change one detail about it. One of the best I've seen in a while. It is incredibly sad though. Warning to anybody who has ever dealt with cancer. It's rough.
