Brilliant and touching
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreUtter garbage is an understatement. Sets a new standard for tastelessness. Ugly unfunny puppet nightmare. The only possible argument for it is that it's made from the ground up to be a bad and nonsensical movie but that doesn't change the fact that IT IS ONE. I've never felt so ashamed of watching a film. You've never seen anything like it, so I guess it's technically "original". But it's so tasteless and awful I'd rather take a lifetime of superhero and jump scare fest films that go through this monstrosity again. Nothing but crudeness for the sake of being crude. Ugly, disgusting, dumb, unfunny, tasteless, garbage, KILL ME!!ZERO/10!!
View MoreIf you go into Thankskilling 3 expecting anything like what you got out of the first film you will be incredibly disappointed, maybe even confused. Of course Turkie, the antagonist from the first film, returns to spread as much horror, gore & death as would be expected, but this time the world in which his terror transpires is a much more foreign place. To T3's credit, the world it paints is extremely original... Filled with colorful sets, clever lighting, pulse pounding beats and creative characters and puppets that even Jim Henson would most likely give nod to. Unfortunately those aforementioned pluses are the only things T3 has going for it this time around.The plot is simple. The blood thirsty, mayhem starved Turkie receives news that the original sequel to his first film, Thankskilling 2, is being pulled and ultimately destroyed. Determined to not let his life's work disappear forever, Turkie grabs his son and sets out to find the last remaining copy. Immediately the film jumps off the rails, introducing character after character, each carefully imagined and constructed but none that add any real substance to the story. Random and potty humor is thrown against the wall like rapid fire and very little of sticks at all. It very quickly becomes extremely exhausting to be the viewer, very similar to keeping up with a toddler. This makes what bright points the film does have almost impossible to truly enjoy.Director Jordan Downey obviously has some talent... What he needs is an editor. T3 is ultimately a mess. The audience this film will find will certainly be significantly smaller than it's predecessor. I'm also willing to bet that the age of that audience will drop as well
View MoreThe entire conception of this film is to shock and awe audiences. It's popularized because of its differentiation from other films and actors. It gives example that a film doesn't have to have good actors, or certain Hollywood aspects to be liked whatsoever. It gives way to a new audience that is tired of the same old crap that is fed to them so many times from cliché action movies or generation-only comedy. The movie puts no restraints on its own stupidity and launches it high into the air; allowing for it to go over the bush, instead of beating around it. It's understandable to see many people respond generically "This movie is horrible, etc.", but it is that exact feature of the movie itself that garnishes entertainment to certain audiences. This piece may not be appreciated by everyone, but just like Picasso, it aims towards a different crowd of people. The truth is that this movie is ridiculous beyond all belief, but it is contrary when it comes to the humorous aspect of it. Criticism towards this movie from quote-on-quote "professionals" is nothing more than a joke to me, because the movie itself is a gigantic stain of sarcasm. If the critics really believe the movie was made bad out of natural ability, then they must be very dim- witted.
View MoreBisexual puppet toilet humor. Blood. Guts. Horror.I know, I had you at "Bisexual puppet toilet humor".Let's be honest here- this movie is not for everyone. But if you are a fan of the original ThanksKilling, and like raunchy humor and gore, then do I have a movie for you! After raising over $100,000 in a Kickstarter campaign- and the increased budget shows well- the creators of ThanksKilling 3 didn't skimp on the cheese- as well as the bizarre.I won't offer spoilers, but the all you need to know is that the killer turkey- "Turkie"- is back, and he's looking for revenge on those who dare to destroy all but one copy of "ThanksKilling 2" (because it was so truly awful), and there is a ridiculous assortment of humans and puppets along for the ride. I laughed, I cried, I peed my pants, and then I cried a little more. I was entertained- and isn't that what it's all about? One final note- This is a rare case where the film is much better than the book.
