My initial thought - another rubbish sequel because the first movie did so well.. so why not make 3! The trend of creating sequels and a whole franchise out of a film because the first one attained a decent box office audience really deterred me from making any effort to go out and see this movie. In fact the second Hangover movie to kick off the franchise was really terrible in my opinion and lacked any sort of substance or interest. I love comedies, grouse out comedies are okay too.. IF they have a decent storyline and plot! Thank God the 3rd instalment of The Hangover, restored my faith in America's ability to create at least a decent comedy with a meaningful action/ thriller plot. I have seen a lot better but I have surely seen a lot worse and too recently have I seen the latter. Yes there were times that were unnecessarily crued and relied on language to squeeze out a laugh but it was ok to sit through. I would not classified The Hangover Part 3 to be better than the first, however it was satisfactory enough to sit through maybe once more.
Comparing the first and third movies, the characters did grow and mature and acted wiser than I expected. I am glad that a new hangover did not allure them into the complication of this movie and that the writer's drew from the past to create a synopsis of the film but made it very new!
Bradley Cooper always pulls off a great performance and Zac Galifianakis is well...Zac Galifianakis. It's a comedy with a simple plot so I don't really want to give much away.. but I have a link to the trailer below if you are interested.
I recommend you watch this movie with no expectations and you might get more out of it than you initially thought! Will this be the final of the franchise? It does say 'the end' but we have to see!
