On a road-trip with her family, a teen and her brother encounter a strange creature that manages to follow them to their apartment- complex in the city and begin eating the residents forcing a former fighter to help stop the creatures.This one was quite the fun and highly enjoyable entries in the series. There's not much really wrong here with this one and most of that really stems from the fact that there's just a way too long beginning that holds off the creature's appearance until much later than expected here. The trip through the countryside and meeting up with the different residents of the complex aren't all that impressive or exciting efforts throughout here watching this, and it really does get this off to a somewhat sluggish beginning. Coupled with the again heavy cheesiness on display, these here are the film's few problems that do crop up here that makes for a few small problems but not nearly enough here to hold off the far more impressive and enjoyable amount of fun featured along the way here. Again, the film's inherent cheesiness and absolutely goofy creatures at the forefront of the film are a major part of the film's enjoyment as this one manages to get a lot of mileage out of them. The very nature of featuring them in the same exact set-up as before, with their hairy-reptilian appearance and miniature stature that practically devours everything in their path allows for some silly comedy to come from them breaking into the apartment and watching a cooking show on the television set or eating through the entire apartment simply because they're left alone inside, being able to contemplate strategy sessions and a plan of attack which manage to get some nice laughs with their cheesy natures all work together into making for some cheesy good times. The fact that there's some thrilling suspense moments as well gives this some even bigger pluses which manages to give this the same sort of feeling that occurred in the original where it gives this it's biggest plus, from the encounter in the laundry-room basement, the family's first encounter on the hallway leading to their battle to barricade the apartment from the creatures and the different encounters up in the attic where they finally manage to get away from the creatures gives this plenty of thrilling action scenes all built on the idea of the fun, goofy creatures still being perceived as a threat with their voracious appetite leading to the fun here. Along with the great manner of bringing them to life here, these here manage to make this one a fun and enjoyable addition to the franchise.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.
... View MoreThe effects were still great, the acting worked, and I liked the characters... but it was missing something.I don't know what but it was. I still recommend it of course and I decently enjoyed it. Critters 3 was not as much horror and more funny but it still worked. The critter effects have slightly changed but still basically the same. The critters are now more slimy and darker in color. It was great to see Charlie return again Leonardo DiCaprio did a great job in his role as Josh. Having a critter main protagonist was interesting and fun, and I liked the development in the other critter's characters also. It was very slightly off beat but fun to watch and entertaining. To sum it all up it was not as good as #2 but stayed true to the original.
... View MoreMy thoughts about Critters 3: I think that the director Kristine chose the wrong actress, Aimee Brooks in this film, which makes the film look very boring. She the director should have taken another actress. Kristine is a bad director too. Besides it's a disappointment that the character Ug didn't appear in the film at all. There is only a bounty hunter Charlie in this film compared to these previously series. I wish that Critters 3 never had been made. I can't believe that the film was filled with a bunch of bad actors/actresses. The bad language in this film, they are just talking crap all the time.In my opinion this film is a full waste of time, even in the fourth series. The story of this film is an embarrassment. In some words; the Crites didn't kill a lot, they killed just two persons. Just a little. When the Crites attacked the apartment building of LA, it is not exciting at all. The Crites didn't seem to be lucky, they just failed and failed. There is no much violent or gory. I wouldn't want to see these ridiculous scenes again. In my opinion; Critters 3 is the crappiest movie that has ever been made. The first Critters series is still my best, the sequel is OK, I disliked these parts of 3-4. I give Critters 3 a rating of one out of ten.
... View MoreCritters three was a straight to VHS release filmed back to back with critters four, and stars Leonardo Decaprio in his film debut. In this film we find that some of the critters survived after their second attack on earth. They lay eggs in a camper, which goes to Los Angeles. The eggs hatch, and the new born critters take refuge in an apartment building. The critters grow rapidly, and attack the people living in the apartment. The family who drove the camper, an elderly couple, a maintenance women, a single lady, and Leonardo Dicaprio, who traveled to the apartment with his dad (the landlord) to evict the residents, hole up in a room,and the critters try to get to them. When the critters first attacked, the maintenance women shoved a flare in ones stomach, which fell down the laundry shoot, and set fire to the building. So after the critters break into the room, the group of people try to escape to the roof. Charlie returns as a bounty hunter to help destroy the critters. At the end of the film, Charlie finds two eggs, which he intends to destroy, but gets a holographic transmit from Ug, the remaining bounty hunter from the first two, who tells Charlie that since those were the last two eggs in existence, he couldn't destroy them, and must place them in a pod that would be launched into orbit. This film isn't nearly as good as the first two, but still has some pretty good critters action, and is worth checking out if you're a fan of the franchise.
