Very involved, but perfect for this series.

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2007)

I believe this film was excellent, and there was very little to complain about. In fact, I find that many of the critics' reviews are immature and baby-ish. The primary complaint I came across was that there was "too much going on" or that "it is too difficult to follow the multiple plot lines". Grow up! So many movies nowadays are extremely watered-down. Adaptations are stripped to their bare bones, and oftentimes plots are simplified for the sake of a disengaged modern audience. I found this intense and winding thriller a breath of fresh air. I agree that it is difficult to follow, but I enjoy the way I, as a viewer, must be completely absorbed in every moment. I realize that intense movies like this are not for everyone, but it is the perfect ending for this trilogy. The past 2 have been dominated by increasingly intricate stories, making this climax no surprise.
If you do not like intense, twisting, and intricate plots, this movie is definitely not for you. But if you would rather see the movie 5 times and catch every word rather than be insulted by watered down trash, then go see it!
On other notes, the screenplay is an incredible balance between comedy and drama. The acting is very impressive, and the visual effects are stunning. While it is definitely heavy watching, the only thing I was left wanting as I walked out of the theater was to see it again!
