Don't Watch Or You'll Ruin the 1st Two!

I honestly dont know why so many people like this piece of *beep* Makes me want to throw up just thinking about it.

Don't be to hard on it, bro. It was more respectful than part 4, if any movie ruins it its that one.

How does this movie 'ruin' the first two?! They're still the same, they haven't changed, and it's an all-new story, completely unconnected to what we've seen before.

Just pretend that this one doesn't exist, if you hate it so much.

I've already watched it, and it wasn't so bad.

This movie would've had Kevin McCallister in it, had Macauley Culkin not turned down the offer to do the part again. People can say it was bad because the original character wasn't in it, but it's not like they purposely wrote him out, they tried to bring him back and got rejected by the actor. It would have been worse if it were a different actor with the same character name! They had a story and they needed a character to fill it; when you look at it, Alex D. Linz wasn't a bad choice to come in and portray a totally different kid.

Kevin may have had more charisma, but he was also more annoying, too; don't forget that!






"I've been turned down more times than the beds at the Holiday Inn; I still try"

100% Disagree, I think this one is pretty great in my opinion.

I agree with Howlin Wlof on this topic. Culkin was the one to blame fro HA3 being different. True it would be great if he was in there and - maybe best of all - they would have wrapped up the series and made it a solid trilogy. But it still is a decent movie as it is and it and HA1 are among my favorite Christmas flicks. I agree with the other poster who said if anything else Home Alone 4: Takin Back the House ruined the series. That is right, it did. And the recent Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist has not made it much better.

You know, I can't help but wonder if this is one of those instances where age makes a huge difference. I suspect that if you're old enough to fondly remember seeing the first two when they came out, you might've felt a bit more let down when the third one rolled around.

On the other hand, if parts 1 and 2 qualify as ancient history to you, the differences/variations on the theme in part 3 might seem less disappointing somehow.

Man, I feel old. :-)

You're wrong - the Mummy 3 still had Brendan Frasier in it.
