Review of The Hangover Part III (2013) by Nikozguri1997 — 05 Jun 2014

So the Hangover trilogy closes with "The Hangover Part III". I loved the first "Hangover" movie, it was hilarious! "Part II" was okay, but it wasn't as good as the first movie and it was just a rehash of the first one.

so now, in 2013 they gave us "The Hangover Part III" where Alan's the main character this time. and Phil, Stu and Doug are taking him to get some help cause he's turning into an **** now, then they run into a gangster played by John Goodman who takes Doug and he's like "Find me Chow or Doug's dead!" and that's premise of "The Hangover Part III".

what I liked about this movie, it's that they had the balls to take a different direction with this one, instead of rehashing it (like the second movie did). but, you'd think they'd put in better jokes to make it funnier, right? unfortunately, it's not really funny this time.

it just feels like a dark heist movie of just them trying to find Chow. sure, it does have jokes and I did chuckle a few times in the movie, but the problem is that the jokes in this one fall completely flat and it's not really funny anymore.

also, Alan used to be the lovable idiot in the first 2 movies, but in this one, he's a complete **** I get that they were trying to have a subplot of Alan growing as a person, but when you change his character for a different subplot in the movie, that doesn't fit and now Alan's an unlikable douche bag.

and Chow used to be my favorite character in the first 2 movies. he was a hilarious Asian baddie that always had me dying in laughter (especially in the first movie). but the problem is that here he's an idiot like Alan and he's not really that funny anymore.

and they kept hammering in the fact that Chow's outta his mind. okay, we get it! Chow's crazy, we get it! please, stop shoving that down our throats! as a whole, "The Hangover Part III" was a let down cause I was actually expecting a improvement over "Part II".

but apparently, it's not. and I gotta say, I laughed more in the second movie than I did here.
