The best

I know everyone will disagree with me but liked it more than the other 2

It was original but I don't mind that

It wasn't absolutely terrible, but the first one was stil the best. Crocodile Dundee looks more leathery than the crocodiles themselves in this one! He was what, 62 in this? Daaaaaang!

Yeah, I was just talking to a group of (older) relatives about this one tonight. I always thought this one was the best. I mean, for one thing, the other two seemed to be great Saturday afternoon matinees on TV, where you could just snooze to them and miss very little. (But then again, it might've helped if I didn't always walk in when the movie was halfway over.) But on this 2nd sequel, I took a chance and actually went to see this at the theatre...and for some reason, I didn't feel short-changed (though judging by the ratings this got, some will probably think I was.) Still, I thought it was pretty funny and actually...to the critic who said they found nothing to laugh at, and maybe only smiled 3 times...I don't understand ya. I laughed more than I have in a long time. Different humor than you go for, maybe? Regardless, I thought it was funny...until my father-in-law (who loves the first two) informed me that it just wasn't as good as the other two because it used a lot of the same jokes. I wish he wouldn't have told me that. To me, it was original. Maybe I won't sleep through the "matinee" next time...;p

I thought the second one was the slowest. I actually foud myself looking at my watch, wondering when it would end. The first one got off to a slow start, but it was pretty good by the end. The third one was good in that it doesn't show its age as badly as the first two. I know the first two were made over a decade before this one, but they sure show their age.

This one was ok at best but it just doesnt hold a candle to the first 2. It wasnt necessary to make and a fairly weak plot overall. I personally like the 2nd one the best, the whole Columbian drug lord plot was perfect. The 1st one is of course great with all the classic quotes, but i felt it moved quite slow at times with the old fish-out-of-water cliche.

I like them all. I think Mick's a quality (reluctant) hero. And he reminds me of my dad! Ha ha! His wee one liners in this 'un, including the "Keep you on hold... I just come out with 'em." always have me creased!
