I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to watch this one, and I wasn't 100% sure what I thought of it when it was over.
It was kind of fun to watch, but it was never exciting, unlike the first two, which had exciting moment. The characters were all fun to watch, but it was like they dialed in their performance from the previous films as well. the performance was there but the sparkle was gone, and the romantic aspect of the film had no chemistry in it at all. it was like a whole bunch of good friends got together for a reunion and were reliving past glories.the whole Calypso thing appeared to be a waste of time, after all the buildup, and frankly I'm not sure why they bothered. I would have just shortened the movie.
The ending was kind of flat too, but you could see exactly where the franchise was going if they ever did decide to do another one, and a whole bunch of those characters are going to disappear.
I enjoyed it, but wasn't enthralled by it. Still fun even after the magic is gone, but just a casual watch. At more than 2.5 hours i'm glad I watched it at home with beers though. |
