ThanksKilling 3

There are many movies out there that are so bad that they're good. The first thankskilling was one such movie. It was terrible, but that terribleness made it very enjoyable. However, this movie does not fit the so bad it's good mold. It tries too hard and everything just falls flat. You'll likely want to turn off the movie when you realize just how much movie is left after you've already had enough. It's not enjoyable at all.

The movie is full of puppets and an out there plot. The main plot point is how turkie, the main antagonist from the first film, is searching for the last remaining copy of the fake thankskilling2. There are many segments that follow that are all painful to sit through.

I watched this movie under the premise that it would be so bad it's good, but instead I was treated to a movie that had no redeeming factor, and transcended so bad it's good to reach so bad it is painful.

If you go into Thankskilling 3 expecting anything like what you got out of the first film you will be incredibly disappointed, maybe even confused. Of course Turkie, the antagonist from the first film, returns to spread as much horror, gore & death as would be expected, but this time the world in which his terror transpires is a much more foreign place. To T3's credit, the world it paints is extremely original... Filled with colorful sets, clever lighting, pulse pounding beats and creative characters and puppets that even Jim Henson would most likely give nod to. Unfortunately those aforementioned pluses are the only things T3 has going for it this time around.

The plot is simple. The blood thirsty, mayhem starved Turkie receives news that the original sequel to his first film, Thankskilling 2, is being pulled and ultimately destroyed. Determined to not let his life's work disappear forever, Turkie grabs his son and sets out to find the last remaining copy. Immediately the film jumps off the rails, introducing character after character, each carefully imagined and constructed but none that add any real substance to the story. Random and potty humor is thrown against the wall like rapid fire and very little of sticks at all. It very quickly becomes extremely exhausting to be the viewer, very similar to keeping up with a toddler. This makes what bright points the film does have almost impossible to truly enjoy.

Director Jordan Downey obviously has some talent... What he needs is an editor. T3 is ultimately a mess. The audience this film will find will certainly be significantly smaller than it's predecessor. I'm also willing to bet that the age of that audience will drop as well

This movie is much longer than the original but somehow only has half the story. They spent a ton more money this time and the overall product is better but they could have cut out 20 minutes and nothing would have been missing. Since this movie has absolutely no relation to the first, you don't have to have seen the original to watch this.

I would have given this a higher rating if there were more hot dogs!

Honestly if there was a way to give this film a zero I would

I really enjoyed the first one because of its silly plot and they went all out with the premise.....this film just feels like they went up their own ass and man if I was one of the people who donated to the fundraiser I'd have been POed

They spend most of the film focusing on a stupid puppet who has lost its mind....literally that's all the exposition given at the start on the film. Then there's a space worm who was Turkie's costar in the fake 2nd film and a whole bunch of stupid characters which along with the lame script, lame trippy music videos for some reason and lame jokes makes for the longest 99 mins I've had in a long time

To quote Homer Simpson, "I've seen plays more entertaining than this.....honest to god plays!"

I can't put into words accurately how much I f****** hate this film
