I agree, I didnt like it either

I did not like the 3rd movie either, the only re-animator I really love is the first one, thats a real classic the sequels simply suck!

I agree...2 was a very fun sequel if playing more on the campy angle then the first but it was always entertaining and knew what it wanted to do with itself....unlike the 3rd which was a sloppy sequel to say the least.

It's all Yuzna's (director) fault. He's a good producer and he should have stuck to that.

Strongly agree.Youzna cannot be compared with the legendary Stuart Gordon.

Nothing can top the original, of course. Bride's problem, I feel is that the fine line between silly and excellent camp gets crossed too much here, and the awful acting of the cop--who apparently can just help himself into people's homes without legal issues, the stupid morge guy, and the even stupider Dr. Graves goes past camp. And Da Cain--still falling in love with every woman and creature he sees.

Jeffrey Combes as Herbert West is possibly more awesome in this movie, however. He gets a chance to make some good speeches and you see a new side of him as he actually finds love with his creations. Let's face it, Dr. West is the only reason anything works at all in ANY of the movies in the series. I personally don't care for either Bride or Beyond, but Jeffrey Combs' performances are worth it. The plots are absurd, Dan Cain is just eye candy and Dr. Hill started off fun, but became comic book material. Watch it for West.

Sorry for the typos--writing on my iPhone and can't go back to check my text.

The first was pretty campy as well, these weren't meant to be taken that seriously. They're just fun cult classics!

I loved the original but didn't enjoy this and was very disappointed...

What is the third film like?

reply

The first one was great. This one was just good.

reply

Sorry, but you're completely wrong.

reply

I myself was somewhat letdown about the movie as well.

reply

Yeah all in all it was disappointing for me.

I had high hopes as I like the first film and I'm a fan of Yuzna's (Society is a great film), it was pretty boring and stale.
