Open Season 3

Boog plans a guy's trip, but all his friends back out for one reason or another. He goes alone and stumbles on to a circus and a beautiful female bear named Ursa. Switching places with a male bear named Doug, his friends in the forest soon become worried.

The reviews for this film are not stellar, and I think I can sum up why: the original voice cast is not involved in this picture, so the characters sound funny. The plot is thin, and the movie comes in under 90 minutes, letting you know that they didn't have a strong story (even including the dogs and cats seems forced because it is not related to the main story at all).

For me, I liked the film. I don't have a strong attachment to the original, so I wasn't as offended. And I think kids will like it. Sure, the voice for Boog was annoying... but then, I loved the dogs and cats, so it's a toss-up. I felt like this was going to be a launching pad for a TV series, because it has a "Madagascar" feel to it... but with its poor reception, that may not be likely.

If you have kids, let them check it out. They may be less cynical than adult viewers, and it's not all bad. I learned what a camelid is... that may be worth the price of renting the film. But then again, maybe not. My girlfriend watched it with me and fell asleep... what does that tell you?

Just finished Open Season 1 and 2, so I felt obligated to watch the third. I will usually watch any movie through to the end, regardless of how bad (...if only to see exactly how bad it will get). But 26 minutes into this one, I stopped the movie to come here and read a few reviews.

Now usually, I feel that many people like to come to IMDb and slam movies just for the sake of being mean. But I must say; in this case, I agree with what most everyone else is saying here about this movie, and I don't feel bad that I won't be watching the rest.

The voices are the first thing that throw you off (they are different than the voice actors in the first two movies), then you notice the animation looks more like Saturday morning cartoons (fewer frames per second than feature length animation, less fluid), just not as funny. Watch for yourself if you feel the reviews here are unfair. After watching 26 minutes worth, I'd say most reviews here are being generous.

... and ask their kids instead whether they liked them or not.

My daughters, 7 and 9, loved all three movies in the series.

They couldn't care less for original cast or not, voices and so on.

So yes, it's a kids' movie and kids will probably like it.

This ruined the series for me. Why. Just why?? In the movie, they added a lot of characters that we did NOT know or heard about. Even in Open Season: Scared Silly, they disappear!! In Open Season 3, there were some scenes that were unnecessary. For instance, in the start of the move, Boog, wakes up from a cave?? Since when did he lived in a cave?? Anyways, he gets excited for "one day of guy's trip." Then, he goes outside and start to shake his butt. WHY? That was extremely unnecessary and uncalled for. And remember Elliot and Giselle? They had KIDS!! And Guess what? In the ending of the movie, EVERYBODY SHAKE'S THERE BUTT!!! WHO MADE THESE SCENES!!!??? WHO DID IT AND WHY!!!??? Then boog goes to a circus for some reason and makes friends with a LAMA and a TWIN VERSION of boog named Doug. Okay then. Then in one scene, boog falls in love with a character (i forgot what her name was.) But she thinks that Boog is Doug. Boog tries to tell her, but she never listens. Elliot, Ian, and the rest of the gang try to save Boog from going to....Russia???? In conclusion, I think this was a movie we didn't ask for and to be the worst movie of the whole series!

I think this sequel was made, because they didn't have anything else to do, so someone said "Hey, let's make a sequel to Open Season, we just need to create the animation, story will come eventually!" And this useless unfunny video is the result.

Open Season 1 had an old cliché story, but it was rather funny, not even near to the top though. Open Season 2 also had its moments, but this one, it absolutely useless. Old unfunny jokes, bad story that has nothing to do even with the name, or the 2 first ones, only characters are the same.

I, as a big animation movie fan, couldn't bare watching any further than 30 minutes.

Well, if this and the first two Open Seasons are the first movies you ever watched you could find it funny. Other than that, it doesn't much worth watching.
