90 more minutes of 9 likable and entertaining guys performing dangerous and utterly hysterical stunts and pranks. That's what we were promised. That's exactly what we get. Adding 3D to the franchise, this carries on the formula from Number 2 (Still haven't seen the first) with great enthusiasm. The jokes, screams, laughs, groans, gross out humour and jaw dropping stunts just keep coming. Like the 2nd this is a strong piece of documentary filmmaking. Cinematically, some of the shots are pretty good and it's edited very well. The actors are all just being themselves which makes the unique and more interesting, and they are all very funny. The film also seems to be a nostalgic tribute to when the show first started, so there's absolutely heaps of stuff for long term fans to enjoy. In general, Jackass 3D is the equivalent to being hit in the face by a heavy ball launched from a catapult.Despite the high fun factor, Jackass 3D can feel like a step backwards. The stunts feel less bold than they were in the second one and it's not quite as funny. I watched both on the same day and while the stunts are bigger, they're not quite as funny. The novelty does wear off eventually, but most of the time this takes the comedy genre to surreal, delirious and disgusting new levels. J3D is one of the most insane films ever made just like its predecessor but in the best possible way. It is once again adults only acquired taste viewing and will disgust many. If you haven't seen any Jackass before and you decide to watch this- brace yourself. I enjoyed this movie overall even if it felt like the Jackass team are beginning to slightly run out of decent stunts. They've still got plenty of style and plenty of gross out fun up their sleeves. Jackass 4 anyone? 8/10
... View MoreJacka 3 (2010)*** (out of 4) Needless to say this movie isn't going to be for everyone but if you enjoy watching people torture themselves while you sit comfortably on your couch then this is a must see. With Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the gang are back in this latest installment and after watching it you really have to wonder how low they will go if they want another one released. This one here reaches pretty high on the foul and vile department especially a sequence towards the end with Steve-O flying and coming down with something that I won't spoil. If you've already seen the movie then you know what I'm talking about and I really don't see how they're going to top something like this. There are some even crazier moments including one skit where grandpa is making out with his granddaughter, which is priceless and especially the reaction of the man witnessing it. One of the most memorable sequences has the guys using super glue to rip off each other's body hair. I'm really curious to what these guys get paid to do this. Either way, obviously this film isn't going to be for everyone but if you can put up with the abuse these guys go through then you're going to be in for a good time. I would argue that the first two films were a tad bit better as there are a few gags here that don't work all that well but for the most part the film still delivers enough to make it worth viewing for fans of the series.
... View MoreLet's face it, the fact you're even considering to watch this movie is because you want to see one thing. A bunch of dudes basically hurting each other in creative ways! And Jackass 3D comes back to hit the ball out of the park for a third time.It's everything you'd expect, stupid, rude, disgusting and just plain dangerous, and it does it FLAWLESSLY! This is the brilliance that is Jackass. It's a film you're not sure about before you put it on. You'll know whether you'll like this or not which is why if you ask someone what they think of Jackass they'll either give you a 0 or a 10!The film keeps the stunts fresh too! Full of new material all hilarious pranks so don't worry if you're thinking you'll find "Jackass...again....oh yeah we got 3D too". Speaking of which, the 3D isn't great or even necessary to watch but it's much better than most of the films with 3D so it does it's job.Overall, this film is brilliantly vile. It should be sent to hell, just save me a seat down there and I'll bring the popcorn.
... View MoreCertainly entertaining, but often gross and disgusting. I am amazed at some of the concepts they come up with. Lots of genitalia, poop, and other humiliating ideas abound. They certainly seem to gross each other out to the point of throwing up a lot. I guess there are millions to be made hurting each other and looking like idiots. I would not pay to go to the movie theater or even rent this movie, however since I had nothing better to do I watched someone else's copy. I am sure someone will try one of their stunts or try to make up some of their own and end up killing themselves or seriously hurting someone even though there are disclaimers at the beginning and end of the movie.
