Wolf Pack never Showed up

Rating: 5/10 (26 July 2013)

When the closing credits hit, I felt cheated and sad. The magic that surrounded the first 2 films was non existent and the closure given to the series was deflating.
Relying on Allen's immaturity and continual involvement with Chow, The Hangover Part 3 left out the fun and over focused itself on transforming Allen into a real man. From staging an intervention at the start, to ending the series with his wedding, Part 3 left creativity at the door.
Chow Breaks free from prison, and a villain from season 1 emerges to kidnap the Wolfpack with the hopes of leading them to Chow. With the Kidnapping of Doug, the remaining 3 must journey from Tijuana, Mx back to Vegas to capture Chow and save their friend.
Departing from Part 1 and 2's amnesia adventures, Part 3 was spoon fed to the viewer. The mystery was simply missing. Chow himself plays a more central role and the movie is dependent on every action he takes. This intimate view of Chow spoils the character's idiosyncrasies, and lowers his value along with the entire movie. Any bond or trust between the wolfpack at this point has been sadly broken at the expense of having a plot for Part 3. When Chow escapes death to kill Marshall, the movie quickly ends without a party or a tribute to what the series, for the most part, represented.
With all the post credit pictures, Mike Tyson special appearances and wildness that the first two films embodied, watching part 3 felt like a never ending Hangover. The writing on the wall is clear. There will not be a Part 4.
