Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Eric Stevenson This movie features the Killer Tomatoes returning once more with Professor Gangreene using TV to hypnotize the world or some stupid thing like that. This film makes no sense even by the standards the other movies do. It features the main cop character saying that he doesn't believe in killer tomatoes. In the first movie, there was a war that everybody saw that showed these things! It's even said there was a second war with these guys. I saw the second movie and it wasn't a war. It was a far smaller conflict. They even show scenes from the first movie. They do that and still get the plot of the second one wrong.The second one, while very bad, at least had some interesting fourth wall jokes going on. There are much fewer here and the jokes are not funny at all. The only good thing is that we finally get to see the tomatoes with faces. That's what the movie posters were promising us for such a long time. Just when you think the series has ended, Professor Gangreene is somehow shown to have survived the tomatoes with just damage to his nose. Maybe I could forgive this if it was actually entertaining. There's only so many times you can show tomatoes attacking people. It's just them showing how much they can milk this single joke for a whole movie series. *1/2
SnoopyStyle Police detective Boyle along with beautiful tomato scientist Kennedi Johnson are investigating suspicious deaths. Johnson believes it's killer tomatoes but Boyle dismisses her. Professor Gangreen (John Astin) is disguised as outrageous TV talk show host Jeronahew to brainwash the people and enslave the world with his killer tomatoes. Johnson is attacked by a tomato but Boyle refuses to believe.Boyle is a horribly stupid character and not in the funny way. He is annoying and the actor is not funny. He is so unfunny that he actually subtracts from the others. Johnson's fake screaming is an almost funny gag. John Astin could have worked in a better movie. I just can't stand Boyle. There is a small chance that some people will find this to be so bad that it becomes good. For me, I don't drink that much anymore.
Lost_cow Well, it's a lot more entertaining that most of the previous installements. If you turn off your brain you might even get a giggle ouf of this movie.As others mentionned, it's a poor attempt at imitating the Leslie Nielson /Zucker brothers movie style.I think the funniest thing in this movie is seeing people wearing MC Hammer pants with a suit jacket... man thats scary!
Mattias As far as I can see, this third installment is basically more of the same. This time it is detective Lance Boyle teaming up with babe scientist Kennedi Johnson to fight the vile vegetables. It is also a sendup of tabloid television and trash talkshows. I guess you shouldn't expect much of credibility from a movie about killer tomatoes, but I guess this is as credible as the intended market, 10-14 year olds, need.The movie tries to play in the same league as Loaded Weapon or Naked Gun police spoofs, but just like the Police Academy sequels, it doesn't have the budget to go through with it. This kind of movies needs at least one joke a minute - as a minimum. The movie has a few good jokes but not nearly enough. Dr. Gangreen's hideout looks cheap, the water in the piranha tank is dyed black since there no piranhas and, most important, it is filled with second-rate actors. Neither Rick Rockwell or Crystal Carson had much experience before - or has had much since, at least as far as feature films are concerned. (Rick Rockwell is now, well, famous as the millionaire in 'Who wants to marry a millionaire?') And some scenes are superfluous, like Lance Boyle visiting the zoo or the irate guy at the bank.If you like horror movies and the Police Academy series, you will love this. Otherwise, spend some time benefiting humanity instead.
