We saw it at the local multiplex theater, at a late night showing.
We were the only two people in the theater. Unfortunately, they provided sound for a full seating capacity crowd of about 300, so it was "uncomfortable" until nerve deadness set in; but the movie was altogether enjoyable.
I'd have been happier with "plot development" more like the earlier movies (yes, there was some - you just don't remember it) even at some sacrifice to the "special effects" scenes.
The great chase was spectacularly played out, and for modern audiences I suppose that's supposed to "make the movie."
I'm just too much the old fogie, perhaps.
(And it did tick me off that they changed the hat - subtly but noticeably to the headwear connoisseur. Must have been different costume support.)
