Same review applies to the entire series of the first four Torrente films--they are very similar in concept and execution, and I binge- watched them all because I liked them so much. I think that this is real love it or hate it stuff, and God I love it. I'm guessing 7 out of 10 people won't appreciate this material at all, while the other 3 who are a bit twisted like me won't be able to get enough. It helps to have some knowledge of European culture and politics, but it's not essential--a well-honed appreciation of outstanding low-brow humor is sorely needed though. Yes, all the films are Spanish subtitled in English, but in very easy to read yellow lettering so it's no big deal at all. Most women I'm guessing will be turned off by these flicks. It's best to watch them in order. They play like the work of some deranged, Spanish genius, love-child of Mad Magazine and National Lampoon hopped-up on steroids, testosterone, tons of junk food, pornography, and some ungodly mix of alcohol and illegal drugs. These satires are rude, crude, lewd, insensitive, offensive, amoral, sexist, racist, homophobic, grossly politically incorrect and hilarious (with likely no socially redeeming value). What more could you ask for? If this kind of material doesn't appeal to you, steer clear; otherwise, bon appetit. As for me, all I can say is, "Please, Sir, I want some more." (I've just noticed that number 5 has been made, and I'm dying to see it.)

This movie stinks. The first and the second were great comedies, but this one really sucks. No great history, the same jokes but now are more boring and a lot of guests making cameos that doesn't fit in the history. What the hell is doing a football player in a diplomatic top secret airport?!!! It's an insult to my intelligence. And Torrente is more fascist than ever in this movie and we even got pedophile references as a joke!!!. Really bad taste! We all know that Santiago Segura is not Francis Ford Coppola but don't waste time and money in this! I thought that after "Borjamari and Pocholo" Segura would do a better movie, but i was wrong... Thank god i work in a cinema and watched it for free

I just arrived from the movie theater and I can't be more disappointed. Being a big Santiago Segura fan, I was expecting to spend two hours with non-stop laughs. However, I kept waiting for the "fun" parts... and they never arrived.Torrente 3 has been a big blast during the opening weekend, when nobody knew how third movie looked like. However, I would be surprised if it is half successful as Torrente 2.Maybe it is because he kept repeating the same jokes over and over again (the famous "pajillas" joke is mentioned at least three times). Maybe his character is so well known that it is difficult to surprise the audience. Maybe the plot lacks of originality. I can think of 15 funny moments in Torrente 2. Only one or two are really funny in Torrente 3. I would definitely skip this one and watch the first two Torrente's again.

Nice job by Santiago Segura, in his major effort as a tour de force by starring, writing and directing 'Torrente 3. El Protector'. You will not find many surprises if you have already see the previous films from the saga, but still, it's worth watching this 3rd film: nice cameos (which i won't report here, although many have been already reported in the media), funny grotesque humor (just as usual) including (not many but) some great moments (the special appearance of Torrente's god as... well, sort of, God...). Thumbs up on the hilarious crew supporting Torrente's mission, 'freakturing' Xavier Deltell, Sr. Barragán (HISTORY) and El Risitas, and on the emotive re-appearances by 2 of the heroes in 1st Torrente: Jimmy Barnatán and Caña Brava. Thumbs down on that miscasting problem -José Mota as Torrente's partner (sort of what Javier Camera and Gabino Diego played on the previous films, but not getting away with it as the previously mentioned did). Anyways: if you liked both 'Torrente' and 'Torrente II: Misión en Marbella', you're surely enjoying this one. Oh, standing ovation in the end credits in the theater... That must be a good sign.
