Movie 1-3 a downhill slope (Starting great but ending up face down in a puddle of mud)

Rating: 3/10 (5 November 2003)

The third movie in the trilogy, the finale.
The movie had very long scenes, which stretched on and on where they should have been cut to about half their length (someone was apparently sleeping at the editing table). It wasn't just that the scenes were long, they also didn't help propel the plot forward. Some scenes should also have been cut entirely, like the train station scene, or 90% of the zion scenes, as neither did anything for the plot.
When the audience starts laughing at scenes where the director intends tension, relief or the audience to be impressed, then something is very wrong with the movie.
What bugged me the most was that there was NOTHING new in this movie at all. No new central characters, no revelations or explanations of any kind to any thing or concept revealed in the previous movies. In short, this movie was a huge let down, barely capable of wearing the coat of a decent fast paced action movie.
