Best movie of this year hands down!
Such a frustrating disappointment
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
It is a performances centric movie
Jackass 3(D) was humorous, disturbing, and urged you to vomit. Oh, and there was also a lot of d**k. Ladies, if you feel that you have seen a plethora of "the girls" in films and want to see some more manly parts, go see J*ck*ss 3. The decision of whether it impresses or not, I will leave up to you.Most films in theatres have some sort of plot accompanied by rising action, crisis, falling action, etc. J*ck*ss 3(D) is essentially a bunch of clips pasted together, lacking a story. Depending on what you look for in a film and what you expect out of this movie, your opinion will vary. Although, I must say, it was nice to get out and see something that was straight humour – it made me leave in an upbeat mood with nothing to think about but which stunt was my favourite.What I regret is seeing the film in 3D. You would think it would make a difference in a prank movie, but really, there wasn't anything that did. The three bucks I spent (again) on those 3D glasses (because some f***ing assholes will not let you reuse your old ones, prompting you to buy them every time) would have been better spent on a day pass for parking (whilst being the owner of a parking pass).Since it's almost impossible to review this movie without revealing some of what happens, be aware that what follows is considered as spoiler alert, so don't read it if you don't wanna hear about it before you see it. But even if you do, I won't reveal that much. SPOILER ALERTSo really, what would a J*ck*ss movie be without a real j*ck*ss? With the classic game of pin the tail on the donkey morphed into a Jackass stunt, Chris Pontius endures the pain of a donkeys hooves whilst practically naked. Ouch.Another ouch in the movie involved waxing. Midget (as referred to in the movie), chubby guy, superglue. That's all I have to say.Speaking of midgets, have you ever seen a whole army of them? No worries, J*ck*ss 3(D) has got it covered. I desperately want to tell you what kind of "army" this is, but you just have to see it for yourself. Though pretty much everything in this movie is painful either psychologically or physically, it's nice to recall that you aren't the one experiencing the discomfort, or at least not the pain. This brings me back to a point in the movie where Steve-o was buckled into a porta-potty and plunged hundreds of feet into the air. Oh, did I mention the porta-potty was full of dog sh*t? Mmm, tasty.With plenty of animal feces and animals themselves, this is one nasty and attention- catching J*ck*ss movie. If you've viewed previous J*ck*ss movies and did not enjoy them, you will probably not enjoy this one. If you have never seen a Jackass movie, I encourage you to try this one out. But if you've enjoyed Jackass movies so far, you will definitely love J*ck*ss 3(D).
Jackass is childish . Jackass is stupid . Jackass is sick . Jackass is right up my street!In this latest instalment Johnny Knoxville and the boys go all three dimensional on our arse and although i only saw this in glorious 2 D it still looked amazing.The contents are much the same as what we're used to. This time we are exposed to stunts such as " Super Mighty Glue" where Wee Man & Preston are super glued together. . "The High Five" , where a giant hand springs out and hits people unexpectedly and " The helicockter" well , Use your imagination on that one!. My only disappointment is that i didn't get to see this in 3D as i think it might have looked great.I'm not sure how much longer these guys can keep doing these stunts because sooner rather than later someone is going to get seriously hurt or failing that they will get too old but while they can i will still enjoy watching them.
Let me preface this by admitting from the outset, I ain't a Jackass kind of guy. Whilst I enjoy crude humour that pushes boundaries, the entire Jackass concept and' imitation culture' just irritates me, and I had never given it the time of day before this viewing. I watched Jackass 3 perched upon a high horse Lead by the charismatic Johnny Knoxville, the team engage in the typical risky, gross-out and painful stunts one would expect, given the reputation that precedes them. From a poo volcano, to fart bubbles from a dildo bazooka to a tooth pulling Lamborghinis the film contains a diverse cocktail of gross out filth and traditional slapstick 'ouch' moments.**SPOILER ALERT** And speaking of cocktails, the 'Poo Cocktail Supreme' is perhaps one of the more memorable things I've seen caught on film recently. For those who haven't seen it, the skit involves rigging a port-a-loo to bungee cables, strapping Steve-O inside, and thrusting it into the air to send an explosive poo spray all over the poor fool inside. Such moments carry a certain power; one which manages to induce a gag reflex and a chuckle simultaneously.I didn't watch the film in its 3D presentation, so the potency of the gross out may have been lost on the small screen. The added dimension would have provided a fun atmosphere to enjoy the shenanigans, and I can imagine watching the film in a packed cinema (of which I hear there were many throughout the $50 million opening weekend in the US) would be a unique and unforgettable experience. One thing that really irritated me about the film was the excessive laughter by the Jackass team. I know laughter is infectious, but I found it forced, disproportionate to the events, and ultimately grating.With no narrative, no point and no character, Jackass 3 is a curious film to give a rating to. It is just good ol' fashion grotesque. Whilst I can't claim to have been impressed with the standard of film making, I fell off my high horse, and if gross out slapstick is your cup of tea (or cup of urine?), then rent Jackass 3 for a heady swig.
The main argument against Jackass is that it's stupid, juvenile and lowbrow. I love it because it's stupid, juvenile and lowbrow. Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Wee Man, Steve-O, Preston, and the rest of the gang are back, channeling their inner Wiley Coyote on more of the same random nonsense you know and love. But the question begs to differ: On the third installment, how are these guys still alive? Of course it's not for everybody. And that fact needs to be stated. Sure, Johnny Knoxville is a hilarious master of ceremonies for the crew, and Bam returns still playing elaborate pranks on his unsuspecting parents April and Phil - but this time around Phil actually gets in on the action, evidenced in the "Super Mighty Glue" bit. The rest of the crew goes for stunts ranging from the hilarious (Preston and Wee Man playing a visual gag on an unsuspecting dog watcher) to the insane (Bam barreling through a hallway of live stun guns) to the gross-out (the appearance of Knoxville's old man alter ego Irving Zissman) to the really gross-out (Dave England's infamous poo volcano). Sure, the guys are starting to show their age (and Preston and Wee Man, their waistlines) but that doesn't mean the insanity doesn't stop. Just don't take anything they do or say seriously in the movie and you'll enjoy it. Like the last two, there's no plot whatsoever. Like the last two, they constantly one-up the random insanity. It's a turn your brain off for 90 minutes and enjoy it flick. If you start asking questions like "how are these guys still alive?", you're watching the wrong movie.
