Metacritic has multiple five star reviews for this and I don't necessarily disagree, it's just I have a couple issues only one of which is to do with the film itself. The documentary style "wobbly" camera is in full effect, now normally I have no objection to this but it seemed very extreme here and I started to get a headache until maybe about half way through when either I got used to it or they cut back. I had intended to watch my DVD's of the first two films before going but unfortunately didn't have the spare time, perhaps if I had they would have primed me for its style. The other problem I had is that two key moments at the end were given away in a film review podcast I listen to regularly. So I can't give the balanced opinion I would like to, given that I kept expecting certain things to happen which then did.
