Hate to say it, but I didn't think it was that good. I think the film got more of the critical adulation as it was the end of a pop culture era, more than a film that captured the heart and soul of the first two.

I mean it's great seeing something tied up, but I still felt the film was pretty wooden, and not compelling enough from a character standpoint.

Also; the whole "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" scene really, really clanged pretty hard with me.

Re: Your favorite films of 2005 - List 'em

Actually I did, but found it a bit heavy handed. While I did like the film overall, some of the more melodramatic elements took away from the film for me rather than added to it. I enjoyed it, but not as much as everyone else talked about it.
