I am going to start out by saying that I almost threw up twice watching this. IT WAS AWESOME!
The Jackass crew is back in their third movie… and this time, all of their vulgarity is captured in 3D. Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Wee Man, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGheyhey are all ready to rock… along with guest appearances from Spike Jones, Matt Hoffman, and Seann William Scott ( Who looks terrible, btw. )
The 3D in this film is FANTASTIC. Some scenes look like they were simply converted into 3D, so they aren’t that great, while others are INSANE! Special cameras were made for their stunts that capture their super fast hits in a high definition. This way, when they slow them down you can see everything! You can see the skin ripple with every hit, and some things that just shouldn’t be seen in 3D, such as feces, vomit, and both Chris Pontius’s and Bam Margera’s special members.
I think that they went the farthest stunt-wise in the second film, but they certainly went for a gross factor in this one. The audience, including myself, couldn’t help but react out loud at all the ridiculous stunts. One of the stunts that I could hardly watch was “Lamborghini Tooth Pull”. It’s pretty self explanatory.
WARNING: SPOILERS:
I was amped up from the beginning of this film. They start out with the old MTV moon man logo from my childhood, and then, non-other than Beavis and Butthead open the movie. The whole audience was PUMPED! The film itself left people crying from laughter, and bursting out the laughs. The crowd was even applauding at stunts. It was really cool. I still have never witnessed a crowd laugh as hard in a theater as they have for the Jackass films. This includes myself. I do not remember another film that has made me laugh this hard in a theater. My face hurt at parts.
By far, the best 3d had to do with a certain “object” being shot toward the audience. It honestly was the most impressive 3D to come at the crowd (no pun intended) that I have ever seen. I have seen a lot of 3D… and it even freaked me out with how close it got!
They took a different twist at the end of the film, where they showed clips of everyone when they first started making Jackass. They went for a nostalgic effect, showing childhood pictures of the guys and including the new Weezer song, “Memories”. They actually sing on the track, which adds to the memorable moments. It was actually nice to see.
Some people are arguing that the boys are too old for this. I say no way! They are still 10 times braver than I could ever be! I highly recommend this film. I just wouldn’t eat a full meal first!
Overall rating: 4.75 out of 5 stars for entertainment
