I had quite high hopes for this film after the tantalising cliff hanger of the last instalment, but this just didn't pan out how I hoped.
The story wasn't awful. It had some good elements, but it was pretty lazy in parts, and kind of obvious what was going to happen. It felt like they were going through the motions, just trying to wrap things up and cash out with a decent box office.
I was also disappointed with the action. The franchise has always been pretty up and down with its action, flipping between some pretty slick stuff and horribly shot set pieces. Unfortunately this fell into the latter category. This is such a shame because the stunt work actually looked quite decent in places. This was ruined by the constant cuts and horrible camera work. There were a couple of scenes where I genuinely had no idea what I was watching.
The effects were decent in areas, and we were treated to a pretty cool zombie set piece around the midway mark, but other than that it was pretty bland.
Not a great end to the franchise but it still managed to entertain me, so there is that.
