| User ReviewTyler RI actually enjoyed this movie a lot more then I was expecting. It was funnier and faster then the second one. Danny glover was hilarious. Movie is silly and totally unbelievable but what do u expect from a Danny trejo movie. |

| User ReviewMatthew LThe other geri-actioner franchise that just keeps on giving. Yes its a one joke franchise but that doesn't stop it from being a highly enjoyable series. Part 3 here adds John Amos into the mix, but its more of the same, particularly recycled footage from other films. |
| User ReviewHardy CCheesy, but it's got my two favorite old guys named Danny kicking ass for most of the movie. That tips it over 50 for me |
| User ReviewAnand K3 One they are up to already in this series |
| User ReviewJesse OSay what you will about this franchise, but at least each sequel has been an improvement on the film that came before it. Of course, that's a misleading statement when, in fact, that improvement only comes by inches and not by leaps and bounds. But, with that being out there, at least they're improving. What I like about the film, if I can even say that, is the fact that it's perfectly content to exist on smaller level rather than risk being embarrassed by the more high-quality action films out there. Let's be honest, no one will ever confuse this with The Raid, Mad Max Fury Road, Hard Boiled or The Killer. It's an exercise in unpretentious, cheaply made, action films and I can appreciate that. Not every movie needs to reach for the sky in terms of ambition. And I think this series, in general, is content to exist on a smaller level. If bigger Hollywood studios were involved you might not even have Danny Trejo as a lead, you'd probably have a white and fading action star in the role. Then again, it's not like this is an iconic role or anything, but it'd speak to Hollywood's ignorance to think that Danny Trejo couldn't be a lead in big-budgeted action film due to his ethnicity. Machete doesn't count, cause that's a Robert Rodriguez project and he has his own studio and a lot of control over his projects in terms of casting. With that out of the way, I do like how this film keeps adding actors in order to give the film a little more life if a sequel is ever commissioned. I do think that this film, somewhat, 'change's the formula of someone close to Frank, or Bernie, being murdered and then going on a murderous rampage to find the person who did this and avenge their friend. This film sees one of Frank and Bernie's friend being kidnapped days before her wedding for a $5 million ransom. It's not much of a change, really, but it is something. The structure of the 'narrative', with Berne and Frank finding various clues that leads them to other leads, remains exactly the same. Even with the same travelling by map device. I do think that the addition of John Amos would, theoretically, give the film more legs if a sequel was ever made. But John is also a good addition to this franchise. Maybe not as good or as inspired as Danny Glover was in the second film, but still a good addition nonetheless. I don't think this film will ever be confused with Back to the Future or Raiders of the Lost Ark in terms of script structure, detail and pacing. So, yes, it is not a particularly good script that has a lot of forced humor in it. I do think that the chemistry between Danny Trejo and Danny Glover helps a lot. They're fun to watch even if the script around them is nothing special. But there's a lot of goofy moments here. There's scenes where the film is literally begging for laughs with a laugh track. Not a literal laugh track like you'd see (or hear) in Full House, but characters laughing uproariously at their lame jokes in the hope that their laughter would be contagious enough to make YOU laugh. Look, I still think this is an improvement, but begging for laughs in this manner is probably one of the saddest and embarrassing things any comedy can do. I did get some chuckles out of it, but nothing too extraordinary. The usage of stock footage also comes up in the form of a cargo airplane that Frank has to safely land. It's used more comically this time and I think that was definitely a self-conscious decision. Like I mentioned, the action itself isn't gonna fool anybody. It is what it is and that's all you can expect. It's not good or anything, but it gets the job done. That's all I have to say honestly. You know exactly what to expect if you've seen any of the three films in this series. It's a film that you go into having low expectations. The film does nothing to exceed them, but it is fairly watchable at best and slightly below average at worst. You know what to expect here, so take it or leave it. |
| User ReviewDan MVigilante movie that always feels too strange to work throughout despite the fact it's a comedy so never gets serious. |
| User ReviewThegodfathersonBad Asses 3 is the same low budget crap that we have seen from Danny Trejo. I swear, this guy can pop out another catastrophe in a week, and he doesn't care if it bombs at the box office. I caught all of his recently released movies, on Netflix, and that is concerning for Trejo. The truth is, he doesn't care. Trejo' performance in BA3 is so lifeless and boring, that you just want him to get off the screen, he is annoying. When Machete and Machete Kills came out, I got both on BluRay. Because those were silly fun movies, and Trejo was ACTUALLY GOOD in those flicks. When this guy works will Uwe Boll, we will get the worst movie ever made, period. Danny Glover looks like he hates his new retirement home, and came back to kick ass in a movie that is so much kicked in it's ass pathetically. The story, god. Where do I start? There is a lot of violence, crank up the nonstop swears, and you have a Bad Asses movie. The first movie was fun, because we see two actors beating sh*t up, the second one lost my interest after 2 minutes of it starting on Netflix. This one is the worst, clearly. Bad Asses On the f*cking BAYOU? What kind of title is that? Seriously, ignore at all costs. A full on zero for you Machete. |
