The 3rd one bored me to fucking tears with the constant sewer trudging and killing off characters that weren't interesting in the first place. And holy shit the strobe-light "rave" scene just pissed me off. So long, so boring, and so unnecessarily aggravating on the eyes.
Don't even get me started on the ending, either. After the first and 2nd movie....I expected SOME kind of small resolution to conclude it all.

Honestly, I'm part of the faction that was not a fan of the second movie. I thought that the first one was brilliant, clever, and made good use of a small budget. With the second one, I thought it was needlessly vulgar (to replace gore) and didn't find those scenes (the autopsy scene for example) to be particularly funny. I liked the Biker Babes, but I also thought that the characters weren't as well-done as the previous film (then again, you really can't top Henry Rollins in pink sweats) and I felt as though everyone was trying TOO HARD to be over-the-top (have to agree on the baby scene, though - BRILLIANT)
That being said, I had LOW expectations for the third movie, so I was pleasantly surprised that it diverged from the disgusting and back into the horror (while the trudging through the sewer was silly, it at least opened up the opportunity to go from siege film to flight film). I found myself enjoying it a bit more... And then the ending...

I honestly felt as though I just got the finger from the director and everyone involved. BIG OL' F THE VIEWER
My boyfriend was a little kinder about it; "They obviously ran out of budget." But I don't buy it. The way that it was tacked on to straining film seriously felt as though I was getting F'd by everyone involved. Seriously - It's like they just gave the viewer the finger. I wasn't happy about it.
Though I have to say - I think part of my problem with this film and the second film is that I was hoping that either one of these movies would
a) Delve into the whole "military experiment" thing that was pitched in the ads
and/or
b) Follow the story of Tuffy, Bozo, and Hot Wheels after they fled the bar in the first film.
It was really "B" that I was after - Those were the characters that I actually cared about and in the second movie we're introduced to a slew of them who, when slaughtered, I couldn't care less. It was a disappointment.
