Tang ren jie tan an 3

The entire Detective Chinatown series is trash at this point. A forcefully constructed universe featuring star after star. It's sad to know that with this kind of budget this is what the team chooses to put together even with the extra time and money to make things right. Transition between scenes is senseless, dialogues are cringy and character motive being non-existent. I can tell Chen Sichen tries to be creative and funny, but his method perhaps only works for himself and his group of friends. The best work the entire series has done so far is sadly the TV series, and the first couple episodes of it. Detective Chinatown 1 seemed like a doorway to something interesting that deserves to be further developed, but at this point I simply hope they could just stop.

I like this one the best so far, the pacing was good, it's a fun watch. I hope more will come out. Seeing Tony Jaa was a breath of fresh air. Can't belive how he changed over the years. There are also returning characters. Big scenes with what seems to be a hundred of people are not missing. Humour and a personal story, also a little bit of development to the detective backstory and the world of detectives.

This is the 3rd of Detective Chinatown series. Knowing it is likely physical comedy combined with a little mystery, I did not expect much. And that is what I got.

The main detectives were invited to Tokyo to solve a mystery. They ran into international competitions. At one point it felt like a computer game, which was interesting. The case was alright - nothing impressive with forgivable imperfections.

Overall I think it is comparable to the first two of the series.

Lacks what they had in part1 and part2. Less comedy and a living legend like Tony Jaa won't be a good fit to an idiotic character. The plot is bad compared to 1 & 2.

Ironically, in China,Hi, Mom didn't do any publicity. Detective Chinatown 3 did a lot of publicity.

The first and the second will be better.
