I agree with Kor. I think Universal took too much of an advantage over the success of the first movie that they started dishing out sequel after sequel without giving much thought to the plot ideas, so I guess this is a relief to those who have been a fan of the series for the longest time.
In my opinion, some of the movies could have been made episodes for the tv series. For example, LBT VI, XI, XII, and XIII seemed like movies where the plot was more suited for the TV series instead of full scale movies. LBT VIII and X were in my opinion the only two movies after LBT V that had really strong plot ideas, and they could have been expressed much better if they were made much earlier. Again, this is my opinion, but I think the movies should have been organized like this:
LBT 1
LBT 2
LBT 3
LBT 4
LBT 10
LBT 8
LBT 5
LBT 7
And then the other movies could have been tied into TV episodes.
As for the next movie, Universal should definitely take some time to come up with a really strong plot, but not too long so that all the fans start crying thinking LBT is dead.
