No

It’s one story. It’s not episodic, but there is a major gear change halfway through.

(I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that, for reasons that will be clear once you see it)

I watched it a few days ago (it’s been out for a week already where I am).

It’s good, but I’ve got a hunch that people who like the first half won’t like the second half, and vice versa. It’s a slightly odd film, pacing-wise, but maybe in a good way? It definitely hasn’t let the franchise down.
