Watched the Keira Knightley / Jack Davenport audio commentary, which was fun and silly. There's some fun trivia in there, plus a lot of talking about where things were filmed.
2024-06-02 Watch 7
The pacing and CGI really hold up, as do the sense of fun about the whole thing. Action is good, writing is snappy, world is well-developed. A fitting start to the franchise.
