Anyone else think that hangover 3 was good until the last 5 minutes?

So that is the "happy ending" of yet another fucking movie?!
Guy finds a chick to "mount" and so tells his friends to fuck off.
Why does Hollywood insist endlessly on handing us the idea of marriage as a "happily ever after" story which all films must end with?! Pisses me off.
The 50% divorce stat is widely known so why the continuation of the lie?

Haven't seen it yet but all I've heard is that it's pretty bad.

I always think of it as hollywood finding a logical ending to a wolf pack's fun and games, which is inevitably that one of them gets married.

in hollywood marriage brings finality and closure. it is rarely portrayed as the beginning of a new life phase.
this is why so many women find marriage unexpectedly difficult; they see it as an end point rather than the start of a contractual monogamous relationship.

Which was worse, the 2nd or 3rd? If the third is worse than the second I don't know if I'll even bother watching.

The first one was insanely overrated and overhyped.

But why do you even look at Hollywood movies and hope to see sense and wisdom there?
Are you unable to escape this corrupted culture?
Read the Great Books of Men if you want a sensible entertainment, that opens people's eyes rather than brainwashes people. The classic literature is vast and enough for a busy mans lifetime.

Closest thing to a "red pill" hangover movie. Vegas bachelor party turns bad when asian stripper is accidentally killed. Cameron Diaz is bridezilla from hell, most of the characters (IIRC) get killed. Christian Slater's character makes Bradley Cooper seem like Ed Helms.

Totally unwatchable for me.. was there a laugh in the entire movie except for the Chinese guy sniffing the other guys ass in the hotel room? Although this never should have been a series, Hangover was just a run of the mill comedy

Remember, the whole bachelor party debauchery theme started with Tom Hanks and "Bachelor Party." Most movies about bachelor parties since has stolen from that, especially the first two of this trilogy (I haven't seen the third yet, but will do what I did with the first two - wait until it comes to cable). There's usually something to do with animals (in the original bachelor party, it was a drug-snorting mule). In the original, there was the tiger and a chicken. In the second, a monkey. They managed a different twist (they wake from a drug-induced blackout, with a member of the party missing and they have to backtrack to find him), but that got kind of used up after the second film. I like how Todd Phillips using music in the films, and there's usually a couple of laughs (usually due to Mr. Chow). It's a good thing that they're killing it at a trilogy. At the same time, they got decent mileage out of it, and apparently a lot of people enjoyed the films. They sold a lot of tickets, and that's what they care about in Hollywood. Keep it simple, make money.

I think the movie paled in comparison to the first two.
