Wow, this film is hated. It's because it was the least funny one in the trilogy, I'm guessing? I suppose there's some truth to that. Although not to the point of hating it as much as plenty of people do/have.

With the first two, the similarities seemed to be the main problem for people; now, you have the final film in the trilogy, it's different, and people lose their minds. I know those two examples don't go hand in hand, but I find it interesting that the prominent problem people had was changed, and people ignored it to use something else as a substitute to hate this film the most; and that something is (?) how it wasn't as funny. All you had to do was say you're incapable of enjoying films.

If that's why the majority hated this film, I think it's ridiculous. Yes, it could've been funnier, but the EXTREME hate is/was unwarranted. You don't know how to enjoy a film that isn't by no means horrible/terrible/awful/dreadful/appalling/abysmal/atrocious/laughable/pathetic/unbearable/intolerable/insufferable, all of which many would probably use to describe it. I can't imagine how you view films that are.

As usual, the cinematography by Lawrence Sher and the soundtrack was great. Even the score by Christophe Beck was surprisingly good, and I say 'surprisingly' because I don't remember the scores in the previous two films sticking out. That's probably due to the more serious tone.

I prefer the soundtrack of the second film the most, with the first film's soundtrack as a close second, or more so tied, with maybe the first film's soundtrack in the lead by a centimeter, but this film's soundtrack is right behind them. And the cinematography was better in the first two as well, but again, this film's cinematography was right behind.

I liked how the story this time was different, as that was an aspect of the second film that somewhat impacted it; even more so, I liked how it wasn't random; the writers circled back to the previous films. They could've done something new, as in 'different,' instead of intertwining this film's story by adding to the other films, but they didn't, and I respect that.

As far as I'm (and my opinions of this film) are concerned, I enjoyed it. I think it was better, or at least more enjoyable, than the second film, which, now that I think about it, was somewhat weak, despite the typical elements (cinematography, soundtrack) being great. That made me think of it in higher regard, but overall, the second film was a little too ambitious, as well as with the Bangkok setting, which didn't pay off as well as it could've, and this film was better. It wasn't as great as the first film, the OG, which is undoubtedly the best of the trilogy across the board. It was still great, though.

Furthermore, the ending, with the song ('Dark Fantasy' by Kanye), including the flashbacks, made me feel some way; "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins during the end credits had the same impact. Without knowing it until now, I guess I became attached to these films and their characters. I want more. Even though this was a fitting end to this trilogy, I want a fourth film.
