Self plagiarism (and poorly done)

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2018)

This movie is the worst of the trilogy. It repeats almost everything bit by bit from the original without blushing, taking away any chance of being surprised by it. A copy that only changes little non fundamental details puts the nail in the coffin with a terrible script filled of bad jokes. Like almost every sequel, tries to intensify what it worked in the original, so all the malice and dark humor morphs into just unlikeable and boring situations and "jokes" (there are exceptions).
The directions, score, acting. None of that is bad per se. It's actually on the same level than before, but all of those aspects get bog down with the original scene (copy paste).
This is literally a self plagiarism from Phillips, but instead of improving the worst parts and make the good ones even better, everything is just worse. Unfunny jokes and just incredible situations. What was a laugh about something bad that happened to a "bro", now it is just a total lack of care for each other. What was a character being brutally honest is now just an insult. What was an over the top antagonists turns into a fish too big for our characters (Giamatti doesn't help). Anyways. Bad movie.
