Viewing Notes
Last in the trilogy and a fun watch. The print on this one was immaculate, great transfer, gorgeous color.
It’s odd to think of the last two movies as sequels because there’s no continuity. Instead, the same principal actors portray similar characters in each film with the same general plot. Only the details change.
Not sure it’d be fun to watch these back-to-back but spread out over a few weeks it’s been great.
