I guess it's just different opinions Matt. I loved the first two, but didn't like this one. Really, didn't like it.
I didn't watch the first two right before this one, so it took me half the movie, to remember who everyone was, and what they were supposed to be doing. (which is a good sign that you liked it more, because you're smarter than me

) Once I figured that out, I knew ahead of time what was going to happen next. Nothing was a surprise.
I fell asleep during the whirlpool scene, took a tidy nap, and woke up while they were still doing the whirlpool scene.
One of these days, I will watch all three back to back, and see if it changes my opinion any.
I'm really glad that you enjoyed it!!!
