Lack of good storyline.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
In case you don't know, 'Critters 3' is best known for being the first ever film to feature Leonardo DiCaprio. Here, he plays a kid who is a kid. Then, forever after, he was destined to play an adult who looks like a kid. But then that's just me being bitter at his seeming inability to age.Anyway, if you haven't seen 'Critters 3' then you might want to start with the first two, as they're arguably better and, well, chronology and all that. The Critters are little alien monsters who crash-landed on Earth and generally eat everyone and everything – or rather everyone and everything who isn't one of the lead cast. These baddies tend to only eat people you won't really care about. Or at least they certainly do now! I haven't seen another monster/slasher film where the villains do so little damage to so few people. If the Critters franchise was ever really classed as 'horror' (which it wasn't really – it was more only every horror with a spoonful of comedy). Now, it really is played out tongue-in-cheek with no real attempts to scare you. The Critters roll and bounce around the place, bumping into things and come across more like Mr Bean with bigger teeth than anything that really threatens humankind.Critters 3 is a short film. And for good reason. There really isn't that much in the way of plot to fill it. You get the little monsters brought back from the countryside into a big city. You'd think that with the added number of human-prey this would make a change from the farm-country the previous two were set in. However, the whole film is basically set in one apartment block. And, for some reason, no one (Critter or human) ever really seems to make much of a play to leave the building. You could argue that this creates an air of tension and claustrophobia. But it doesn't. It's just a cheap continuation of the franchise.Yes, I know I'm being kind of negative. And this is yet another step down for the franchise. But that's not to say that I didn't find some enjoyment in it. The Critters themselves – one again – are the real stars and, for all their 'prat-falls' they're still quite fun to watch.If you like your eighties monster-horror films then you're probably best off sticking to the first one (which most people seem to think is best, personally, I preferred part 2, but anyway...). However, if you REALLY like the Critters and want to see more of them, you can try this – it's the sort of film where you can surf the net and watch it at the same time and still miss much. Plus, did I mention it had baby-faced Leo in it? He's being chased my fur-balls – c'mon, that's got to be worth watching, right?
On their way home from a vacation, railway worker Clifford & his two children Annie & Johnny pull up into a rest stop with a flat tyre. While Clifford fixes the tyre, Annie & Johnny encounter Charlie McFadden, who warns them about the Crites. They dismiss him as crazy but a group of Crites hitch a ride on the underside of the RV. Once the family return to their home – an apartment complex that is due to be demolished to make way for a mini-mall by the landlord (who secretly plans to force the tenants to vacate without having to pay them relocation costs) – the Crites begin terrorising the building.Critters was an enterprising knockoff of Gremlins that somehow made a name for itself in video afterlife. It spawned three sequels – the turgid Critters 2, this one & a further sequel with Critters 4. These days, the Critters sequels, particularly this one, have been regarded as a bad joke by the actors in it, especially Leonardo DiCaprio, who made his debut here as an adolescent.Despite the negative publicity, Critters 3 is actually not too bad – in fact it is the closest the sequels get to matching the light family friendly fun of the original. The Critters are kept to the shadows for the majority of the film but once the lights go off, the real fun begins. Scribe David J. Schow, who would soon get famous with his script for The Crow about three years after this, gets a lot of mileage out of the Critters' attacks – and their appearances. It is a far cry from the usual output of Schow's bread & butter splatterpunk stories but it is still a fun ride. He & director Kristine Peterson do their best to cater to genre fans without letting the adults feel cheated by having the Critters do their usual thing & having Don Opper's bounty hunter return to blast the Critters yet again. Fellow hunter Terrence Mann also returns but only in the end-credits sequence that follows the film. If there is anything wrong with the film, it would be that the film is far too soft for the bodycount to happen, but the dogleg twists provide some suspense for the audience.
A group of people find themselves face-to-face with the ravenous, intergalactic toothy terrors known as Krites, and must battle for their lives—this time in a run down, inner-city tenement block. Help eventually arrives in the form of heavily armed Krite hunter Charlie (Don Opper) and chaos ensues.Critters 3 is most notable for being the less-than-auspicious movie debut of triple Oscar-nominated, Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio. Unsurprisingly, Leo acquits himself rather well, doing all one could really ask of a kid acting opposite crap hand puppets, but with the script being little more than an uninspired rehash of elements from the previous two efforts, even the acting talent of DiCaprio cannot prevent this from being very mediocre B-movie nonsense.Also starring a young Aimee Brooks, the total hottie from 2003 horror flick Monster Man, and Joseph and Christian Cousins, who played the sickeningly cute kid from Kindergarten Cop.
This movie start off with a family of 3, going to a rest stop but there tyre burst and had to stop and fix it.Then the kids are messing around and then soon go down a big hill, then Charlie comes from underneath the ground and scary all kids. (The only person to return to this sequel and the one after just like Burt in Tremors series). He tells these kids about Critters (As we see this in flashback of the last two movies). As Critters seem to enter the Minnie-van, the family are unaware of this and the end up going back to their New York apartment. then the Critters have laid more eggs, under the van and soon start hatching and head toward the basement.I am going give this movie 5 out of 10, I found this movie, a lot more funny then first however I still think that second one was even more funny then this and better movie then this.This movie as it's moments, and keep you entertained and never get boring at all.If you liked the last two movies, you should like this movie as well.
