I am so glad the didn't turn this into a 2-hour battle blockbuster because this was, from the beginning on, a character journey. And in that it excels. Still, there is a huge part of this movie I did not like - the humans. Or should I say THE human. That Colonel is a total stereotype with little depth. His speech about sacrificing his own son for the survival of humanity did not create sympathy for his cause. On the contrary I thought there was the reason why you want the humans to perish. OK, maybe that was the intention. Anyway, that he, in the ends, becomes what he was trying to destroy was only logical, that he couldn´t see it tragical. It makes his whole endeavor useless. And that Star Spangled Banner scene - did we really need that do make what point exactly ?
Still, as a whole this trilogy is amazing. You see it everywhere that those are really fans of the original movies. I will certainly watch all of the old ones again, I guess it will be in some ways a different experience now.
