It was one long parody of set piece references/nods to the first two films. It's like they didn't even bother to create a new story that could stand on its own merits. But the same goes for so much now - thinking of Star Wars, James Bond etc.
In general the attachment to "iconic" set pieces and subsequent desire to try to recreate that magic loses sight of why it was magic in the first place - because it was
new and coherent within the story being told. Those iconic moments were made because they served the story. Simply taking all those set pieces, stringing them together in a different way with different coating and wallowing in them doesn't serve the story and in turn never achieves that iconic standard.
And seriously, even a child playing with toys couldn't come up with such ridiculously imaginative and insane plot points as in this film.
And oh my god the ending... with Blue running like a hero toward the evil hybrid...
I need to scrub my brain of this madness.
