    What you are instead left with is something that departs a bit too much from what fans probably wanted.

Fortunately enough, the story is interesting enough and holds up pretty well, and for some that may just be worth the price of entry.

It is not on par with the part with Sebastian, which for me remains 10 and praise… Full Review »
