I like to think that this movie is good, it made me laugh at some points, the characters acted well and wore the same style they had in the previous 2 parts, but still it is not something great. I think that the first part was way better than this one. I have seen much funnier movies, even though I expected more humour from a Hangover movie. 6/10 7 at best

For the record, The Hangover is, in my book, one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century. No one has quite mastered the comedic twist of the whodunnit as well as Todd Phillips did in the original smash. I also did not find Part II to be a disappointment - lots of genuinely funny moments (especially from Stu) even if it was sad to see the writers cling for dear life to their proved formula. Part III should be commended for trying something totally new, and really messing with the formula to try and take this from comedic whodunnit to an edge of your seat, stake-fest. The problem - while striving to be original, they completely forgot about the comedy. So many scenes in this film were just threatening or horrific without any laughs peppered in there - guns in faces, hostages, phone calls. It was more focused on raising the stakes for the Wolfpack then it was making us laugh. This issue was epitomised with John Goodman's "Marshall" character - were they even attempting to make this guy a funny villain? If so, no dice...Marshall could have come straight out of a B-grade mob movie without changing any of his tics or dialogue. Sure, it's cool that this was a dangerous situation but it is still a comedy. Gives us a more simple plot for more laughs. The other major problem was the rudderless arcs of the trilogy's main comic nuclei - Alan and Chow. It was as if the writers sat down and said, "Hey, people love those guys, let's turn them up to 11," without actually considering that what made these two funny was that they were somewhat believable - an, albeit exaggerated, version of the outcast or loony in your own social circles. By taking Alan from a spacey goofball to an aggressive and unhinged mental case made it unbelievable that Phil and Stu would still want anything to do with him. Chow was a hilarious supporting act - as the centre of the film, his profanity got tired fast. This movie also gave itself a glowing pat on the back that it hasn't exactly earned - the constant self-referential gags, throwbacks and winks sort of made it feel like they were disproportionately elevating the status of the first two films. The post credits sequence is the worst example - a victory lap would've been acceptable if all three movies were comic gold. Sadly, only one of them was so filming the Alan-Chow goodbye as if it were a Michael-Fredo kiss and going for a Deathly Hallows-esque "everything connects, this is the epic conclusion" plot really just felt a little congratulatory. Massive points here for taking some tonal risks (which work best with Chow singing 'Hurt' or Alan's reunion with Carlos) but overall they changed a formula without considering why it had become a formula in the first place - it worked.

The Hangover Part III in my opinion was wronged in criticism, was massacred for no reason , the film is much higher than the second film, second only to the first , the plot tried to be different, and in fact is quite different from other films, they do not have a hangover this film, and Doug back to being a key part , Chow still have more prominence in the plot, and along with Alan are the characters that steals the show , they both are the funniest characters in the film , the soundtrack is good , the cast is the same, the direction is already better than the second film , I found the 30 minutes very good early , after the film of a fallen , and the last moments of the film are very good in my opinion , the Hangover Part III is better than its predecessor , and is second only pro first film with a simple script, a little different from the others , I thought this movie was massacred by the critics without deserves. Note 7.8

The Hangover Part III is the third and final film in The Hangover trilogy. In the movie,we get to follow the group of Phil,Stu and Doug as they try to help friend Alan confront a personal crisis.But as they try to accomplish this,the incident from Las Vegas came to haunt them.The film stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Ken Jeong. The supporting cast includes: Jeffrey Tambor, Heather Graham, Jamie Chung, Mike Epps and John Goodman.Once again,it the screenplay was co-written and directed by Todd Phillips.The movie moves to another direction as there was no bachelor party and wedding.But in the end,it turned out to be somewhat a disaster as it moved from being a comedy into a dark action thriller that offers nothing compelling at all for the viewer.No wonder it was nominated for a Razzie.Overall,it was barely funny and it could even be classified as obnoxious and disgusting. One thing that could come up in the mind of the viewer while watching it is this question,"Is it time to end the franchise?". I think that the overwhelming answer to it by then end of the movie would probably be affirmative for the good of the franchise.
