I've seen this for the first time recently. I have only seen the first five films in this franchise. I thought this film was very well done. The beginning was interesting and there are some great scenes especially the one with
[Show spoiler]the crashed prison bus.
The score is masterful! The one complaint I have with it is the liberal use of profanity. I know it's a rated R movie and profanity in our society is more commonplace but I wish that movie-makers can elevate the writing to where profanity is only used in special situations like reacting to onscreen violence and such. It makes it more powerful when it's used sparingly. I know I may be in the minority on this but there is way too much profanity in our movies and music and it is extremely tiring and irritating.
