Just watch the first one. Really!
3 August 2009
I've just watched this piece of junk. I kept telling myself that after the big letdown that was Butterfly Deffect 2 I would never watch another one again. But I had to see by myself, anyway, so I said, hell, OK. And man, what a load of crap!! The first movie was awesome!! There was supposed to be just it, nothing more. The plot was interesting, the characters were cool, the story, the twists and turn points were so freaking awesome and well constructed! The key moments, all of them well connected, everything makes some sense, you could actually understand the reasons why Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) needed to travel through time to change something. The supporting cast was excellent, specially the kids, and all the adult actors were good, all of them acting nicely. You could really care about them and their characters, all of them well constructed and with great back story.

Of course it wasn't a masterpiece, but we can safely say that Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber achieved a wonderful cult movie witch have a great story, great development and an interesting proposal.

The second? It hurts deep in my memory just remembering of it. It hurts so much that I don't even try harder to remember. I only remember that I rented the DVD and tried to watch it, more than once. But it was a complete junk in the end.

This one? Well, doesn't change much to the second. Only that the main actor (I forgot his name) can actually act better than the main actor from the second one, but that doesn't help a bit. Bad plot, no character development, no interest, no effort, no nothing! And this is it, pretty much, all I can say is that I hated this one as much as I hated the second one and my strong recommendation is: do not watch this movie or the second one. Just watch the first one. Don't even care to rent this third installment (yes, I downloaded from the internet and erased just after seeing it, thank you!), just help yourself another way.

For me, there will always exist one Butterfly Effect, and one only, and this one I also have it on DVD. And now, I can safely say that, no matter how, no matter what, I won't watch another movie from this franchise again! Ever!! And no time travel will help to change my mind this time, 'cause the portal is closed!
