Congratulations of course to Leonardo DiCaprio for his 2016 Oscar win. Unfortunately however he'd already received a NegaOscar for this movie so they cancelled each other out.
Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
I'm honestly not sure who this movie was made for. First, even though the second movie was set up at the end of the first, there was no set up for this movie with the last one. The Crites were supposedly exterminated at the end of the "Critters 2," yet these monsters come from nowhere with no explanation.
The tone of the movie is wholly inconsistent, as well. It actually starts off almost like it's supposed to be a kids movie (it sets the kids up as the protagonists). Then, of course, people get attacked and eaten. Not that many, much like the first movie, but still. It keeps jumping back an... read the rest.
'Critters 3' is one I'm unsure about. The critters (and the effects that bring them to life) remain fun, while the location of a dilapidated apartment complex is good. Despite that, my interest did drop a few times. All things considered, I think I narrowly enjoyed it.
Aimee Brooks is a solid performer in this 1991 flick, as are most of the actors around her. It's cool to see Leonardo DiCaprio make his movie debut, it's a rather standard role but the dude's alright. Don Keith Opper's Charlie feels tacked on; a bit of cast continuity is welcomed, mind you.
