The Ultimate Legacy

6.1 stars.

This chapter of the saga devolves into a genetically inferior clone of 'The Ultimate Gift' (the first one). 'The Ultimate Life' (the second one) is much improved over the first, but 'The Ultimate Legacy' takes two steps, possibly three steps in the opposite direction.

The first had some very cheesy acting, but with superior editing, music and cinematography. The second episode utilized a lower budget, but showcased a great story, better writing, and acting, even though the actors were basically unknowns. This one consists of all the worst of the three. We have a few of the recognized actors with low quality production value and bad acting from the leads. The dialogue is also inferior to the first two movies, making this substandard in every way. Peaking around 7 stars in a few scenes, most of this is dull and slow, dipping down into the low 5's. I'll give it a 6.1. I should've stopped to stand pat after 'The Ultimate Life', but instead I pressed "play" and hit for a bust.

There's a lot of mystery and intrigue in this movie along with some surprises along the way. I definitely recommend this one.

There are spoilers here that you can read, but a couple of the people who wrote reviews seem to have missed the entire message of the movie. You owe it to yourself to invest a few minutes to judge for yourself.

A story like The Ultimate Legacy has been told a million times over, but somehow, it all comes together near perfectly. The tale of a hot shot coming home to his traditional family is given a twist by asking him how he can redeem himself not just emotionally, but spiritually as well. The film is full of terrific performances, including Raquel Welch, Brian Dennehy, and The Shape of Water's Doug Jones. And the story has a terrific conclusion that left me with a smile on my face. I highly recommend this for families!

You have to watch the first 2 movies to get this one. It doesn't make any sense if you only watch this one.

It's not as good as the first but it still has the same concept and it continues the lessons of the gifts we receive when we give of ourselves.
