This movie was a breath of fresh air in the summer of the sequel. The movie provides everything; action, suspense, drama, well-timed and well-delivered humor, and of course, a message. While that part may come across as cheesy or forced to some, I think it worked enough to warrant a recommendation to see it. Well worth the price of admission!
While you won't be seeing this movie on the Academy Awards list, it is a huge step in the right direction for the series. The dialogue seems less forced than in the previous two movies, and while the acting does still leave a bit to be desired, the movie seems to flow much easier. The humor in the movie finally is starting to match that of the books, and the action scenes are quite exciting. Fans of the books/movies will love this movie, much like they've supported the previous two, but even the casual fan, or significant others of the women that will undoubtedly flock to this film, will be able to find something they like about this go 'round.
