Q-Tips say: Yes, we did enjoy it.
This is a pleasant blast of nostalgia that fans of the series will enjoy — a nice mix of callbacks with a splash of new additions that help breathe life into a franchise left for dead after the last film. Axel F. provides a solid premise that gives Murphy’s wisecracking, sarcastic, slick minded investigator a reason to get back at it again.
