Satisfactory ending for the Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2003)

With all the negative reviews that are circulating at the moment, I went into this movie very tentatively. Good thing I did, because I enjoyed it. Not immensely mind you.
Like the first sequel, it suffered from what I like to call "dire-logue" eg "Kiss me. One last time. Kiss me".
Another area in which it suffered, the writers seemed to try to hard to have a surprise ending, and in the end, didn't know how to end it satisfactorily and this is the result. Mind you, I am comparing it with an ending that I had read about, which to me was p*** weak. An absolute cop out.
Where this movie did succeed however, where Reloaded did not, was that it was not more of the same. Reloaded had choreographed fight scene after choreographed fight scene, in other words, they all looked to rehearsed. This one had only one such scene and that was at the end, the rest looked a lot fresher.
While not a great sequel by any stretch, it was a reasonably fitting ending to what "WAS" a fresh approach to action movies.
