Where it was most lacking was in the story. It felt like a "let's get paid" rehash of the earlier ones. There were some fun moments here and there, but even a lot of those were just a bit stale. The "suspension of disbelief" inconsistency that bugged me the most was that the absurdly strong magnetic field from the skull just sort of turned on and off according to the convenience of the plot. And the character of Marion seemed really bizarre to me, like she had dementia. And yet... I still had fun with it when I saw it in the theater. One of these days I have to check out blu-ray.
