I visitatori 3 - Liberté, egalité, fraternité

Inferior follow-up with the usual premise of the time travel with entertaining scenes, crazy things and lots of fun. Inferior and disconcerting continuation with tiring scenes, boredom and the same elements as the previous ones. Lots of fun with two inseparable medieval men traveling through of the time and space, and results to be amusing enough . Knight Godefroy de Montmirail and squire Jacquouille are stranded in 1793. Using trickery to break free from their shackles, both perilously partake in the Montmirail family's run away in the quest for an exiting time-shift. Jean Reno as stubborn, proud medieval knight who wants to marry a noblewoman by any means and Christian Clavier as his whaky, hectic servant, both of whom playing a fully sympathetic and outrageous couple. In this entry they're hurtled into an epoch of political and social upheavals: The French Revolution. In order to return to the 12th century and deal with the spell, they begin to look for a wizard. Too bad the potion hurls knight and vassal into a lot of nutty adventures and crossing paths with their lookalike descendants. The film contains breathtaking special effects , adding a nice cinematography and lively musical score. In 11th century a honorable knight (Jean Reno) and his distraught but loyal servant (Christian Clavier) They attempt to enlist the aid of their descendent to try to find a way to return home, but things go wrong. Try to go back in time, only one thing will stand in their way, the French Revolution !. They Weren't Born Yesterday! They Came. They Saw. They Wanna Go Back. They're not just from another time, they're from France!.

It is a silly and tiresome sequel in which, as usual, the characters do nothing but talk and talk and very quickly, in such a way that you cannot understand what they are saying. An embarrassing and funny French film dealing with a medieval nobleman and his zany squire are accidentally transported to French Revolution by a potion created by a senile sorcerer. Trapped in the labyrinths of time, Godefroy de Montmiral and his devoted footman become involved into dangers, confusion and chaos. And more precisely The Reign of Terror, appearing some historical roles as Jean-Paul Marat, Fouché, Maximilien Robespierre, Louis VI 'le Gros', king of France and during which the descendants of Jacquouille La Fripouille, enthusiastic revolutionaries, confiscate the castle and wealth of Godefroy de Montmirail's descendants, arrogant aristocrats who are trying to escape from France, where their lives hang in the balance. The trio formed by director Jean-Marie Poiré and actors Jean Reno and Christian Clavier had already performed ¨Operation Corner Beef¨ three years earlier. In 1993 they returned to the fray with their physical and gross humor, this time based on the contrast of two very different eras: the medieval and the contemporaryma. A lightweight plot, but the loony pals played by Reno and Clavier sink their teeth into the time-travel jokes and it turns out a fun and enjoyable experience. The picture is a fantasy comedy with action, giggles, tongue-in-cheek and is pretty entertained. The main amusement is to watch how our two protagonists react to the revolutionaries, but they always manage to take it one step further, resulting in unexpected consequences. Jean Reno and barmy Christian Clavier make a completely surrealist and delight duo playing a geeky and stupid duo while trying to cope with other ages which makes the humor spontaneous and genuinely funny. Cracky Reno is the proud, brave medieval lord and Clavier as his dazed, distraught vassal and the film manages itself to be endearing as well as thoroughly crazy. They're well accompanied by a nice support cast, such as:Karin Viard, Franck Dubosc, Alex Lutz, Sylvie Testud, Marie-Anne Chazel, Nicolas Vaude, among others. Rating: 3.5/10. Lousy sequel.

The motion picture obtained success in the French box-office and in the video rentals, the series formed by 4 films, all of them directed by Jean-Marc Poiré and performed by Jean Reno and Christian Clavier. The first: ¨Les visiteurs¨(1993), 1123, Dark Ages, in 100 year War ,during the reign of 'Louis VI The Fat' something goes awry and our starring transported from the 12th century to the year 2000, where they meet some of the knight's family, and slowly learn what the future's like; surprisingly, the film became a huge hit both in France and internationally, becoming one of the most successful films in the entire history of French cineema. ¨Les couloirs du temps: Les visiteurs II¨ (1998) by Jean-Marie Poiré with Christian Clavier, Jean Reno , Muriel Robin, Marie-Anne Chazel, Frank Olivier. An american version ¨Just Visiting¨ (2001) with Jean Reno, Christina Applegate,Christian Clavier, Matt Ross , Tara Reid, Bridgette Wilson, George Plimpton, Malcolm McDowell Malcolm McDowell, directed by Jean-Marie Poiré who hated the movie, and mentioned that this was the reason why the third movie of the original French trilogy took so long to be made. ¨Les visiteurs: La révolution¨ (2016) with Christian Clavier, Jean Reno, Franck Dubosc, Karin Viard, Nicolas Vaude, Sylvie Testud.

Now in the 21st century, many people are criticizing movies for racism and the like. I'm not a racist, but I think all jokes have a right to life, it's just a joke (and yes, it was really funny to me). I really liked the third film, as well as the previous two. I don't understand why the film has such a low rating. So I just have to put 10/10. The situation needs to be corrected. Glory to French cinema!

Les visiteurs come back again, now in french revolution's peak, there are a lot of gags and jokes, the most interesting is about the old servant Jacquouville who now understand that he no longer needs to serves his master, they are equal, let's face firstly the odd french humor from Christian Clavier as a nasty and stinker man, wasn't to all taste, l'd watch several comic movies from french and they had his own style properly for them, unusual for our standards, they speak so fast that infringes each other which has some difficulty to able a prompt line of reasoning, sometimes l'd to stop to try understand it on first time, it's a format just to french audience who are already accustomed with this concept, but still funny!!

Resume:

First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5.5

Eighteen years after "The Visitors II" left us with the cliffhanger, the third film comes as a total disappointment. The story is a direct continuation of "The Corridors of Time" and it's well conceived and written, but the film is not at all funny, and it seems to me that it's not even trying to be. By itself, it might be able to pass with a six, but after the previous two, this is totally lame and it would be better for the franchise if they didn't make it at all.

4/10

This movie should be shown in cinema lessons as among the worst sequels ever, really! Our french BTTF is so bad that you can't imagine it! If you do a sequel, it's because you have a story to tell, especially when you do time travels! Here after 1 hour i was still wondering what this one was about: so our medieval heroes are stuck in Revolution but what's else? nothing... it talks, it shoots, it brawls but it's empty air, it's nothing... Sometimes a sequel can be saved by a talented cast: here there is no none: it's not the cream of the cream but the bottom of the garbage: Dubosc ? Testud ?? Abittan ??? Lutz ???? At last, if it's a comedy, you can laugh... here, not once!

When you think about the first movie, the American remake and most of the second movie, you just don't understand what happens here... So it was so bad that i just stopped it after endless dreadful minutes of pain... It's sad for a french classic to not have a worthy final and to be lost forever into the limbs of time....
