There are many movies out there that are so bad that they're good. The first thankskilling was one such movie. It was terrible, but that terribleness made it very enjoyable. However, this movie does not fit the so bad it's good mold. It tries too hard and everything just falls flat. You'll likely want to turn off the movie when you realize just how much movie is left after you've already had enough. It's not enjoyable at all.The movie is full of puppets and an out there plot. The main plot point is how turkie, the main antagonist from the first film, is searching for the last remaining copy of the fake thankskilling2. There are many segments that follow that are all painful to sit through.I watched this movie under the premise that it would be so bad it's good, but instead I was treated to a movie that had no redeeming factor, and transcended so bad it's good to reach so bad it is painful.

If you go into Thankskilling 3 expecting anything like what you got out of the first film you will be incredibly disappointed, maybe even confused. Of course Turkie, the antagonist from the first film, returns to spread as much horror, gore & death as would be expected, but this time the world in which his terror transpires is a much more foreign place. To T3's credit, the world it paints is extremely original... Filled with colorful sets, clever lighting, pulse pounding beats and creative characters and puppets that even Jim Henson would most likely give nod to. Unfortunately those aforementioned pluses are the only things T3 has going for it this time around.The plot is simple. The blood thirsty, mayhem starved Turkie receives news that the original sequel to his first film, Thankskilling 2, is being pulled and ultimately destroyed. Determined to not let his life's work disappear forever, Turkie grabs his son and sets out to find the last remaining copy. Immediately the film jumps off the rails, introducing character after character, each carefully imagined and constructed but none that add any real substance to the story. Random and potty humor is thrown against the wall like rapid fire and very little of sticks at all. It very quickly becomes extremely exhausting to be the viewer, very similar to keeping up with a toddler. This makes what bright points the film does have almost impossible to truly enjoy.Director Jordan Downey obviously has some talent... What he needs is an editor. T3 is ultimately a mess. The audience this film will find will certainly be significantly smaller than it's predecessor. I'm also willing to bet that the age of that audience will drop as well

I was one of the people who helped finance this movie at Kickstarter because I love the original ThanksKilling. It's a cheesy horror comedy slasher spoof about a killer turkey. It was low budget and simple, that's what was so great about it. I heard they were doing a sequel, so I was stoked and wanted to help. Throughout this year, they've given us hints and clues as to what the sequel would be about. As hinted at the end of the original, it was gonna take place in space. I figured it'd be like Leprechaun 4 or Jason X and have Turkie killing people on a space station. This movie was FAR from that.They purposely skipped that sequel, and went right to this. I've watched this three times so far, and still can't tell what I think of it. There is so much going on. The first time I watched it, I was very disappointed. Filled with random jokes, new puppets, crazy acid trip music videos, and a little bit of Turkie. Turkie needed a lot more screen-time, but it's mostly about Yomi, a yellow puppet who has lost her mind, and Uncle Donny, a human that invents the PluckMaster 3000. When all the copies of 'ThanksKilling 2' are destroyed, Turkie sets out to find the last copy and kill any puppet that gets in his way. There are a few funny jokes. The sets are cool, like Turkey Hell. The music is pretty awesome, but other than that, nowhere near as awesome as the original. If you love the original, you might like THANKSKILLING 3!!!

Bisexual puppet toilet humor. Blood. Guts. Horror.I know, I had you at "Bisexual puppet toilet humor".Let's be honest here- this movie is not for everyone. But if you are a fan of the original ThanksKilling, and like raunchy humor and gore, then do I have a movie for you! After raising over $100,000 in a Kickstarter campaign- and the increased budget shows well- the creators of ThanksKilling 3 didn't skimp on the cheese- as well as the bizarre.I won't offer spoilers, but the all you need to know is that the killer turkey- "Turkie"- is back, and he's looking for revenge on those who dare to destroy all but one copy of "ThanksKilling 2" (because it was so truly awful), and there is a ridiculous assortment of humans and puppets along for the ride. I laughed, I cried, I peed my pants, and then I cried a little more. I was entertained- and isn't that what it's all about? One final note- This is a rare case where the film is much better than the book.
