I went to see this movie expecting a no brainer, kinda absurd, action-comedy, like the previous installments. I was very wrong.
Of course, this is still an action movie, and a total fiction. But the historical background, even if altered, provides more...plausibility, if you will. Less absurd. This movie is also more sober, it has virtually no comedy, and is darker. In my opinion, this takes this franchise from "meh" to reasonably good. I will be looking forward to the next ones.
Finally, the current rating doesn't do it any justice, so I'm giving it an 8 to compensate. It's more like a 7, still very good.
