mrwes000's rating
I gave it this rating for the ending alone. For 2/3rds of this movie I was fairly scared, and had a pretty good bit of suspense built up. Then it got weird and the story fell apart. The characters' reactions to everything that was going on was way off and not something normal people would do. The ghost or entity was very overt way too quickly. The ending was tragically lame and left everyone in my theater with an expression of utter confusion and of let-down
--Minimal Spoilers-- Once the entity showed himself in the blanket there was no way of turning back. The characters' reactions after that did not follow any logical formula. And it's not as though they missed it, it's on film and they saw it. At which point almost everybody would actively do something to change their situation. These characters saw that they were being haunted and did nothing. This was relatively early on.
From there on, it was too fantastical. Everything was taken to the extreme in the worst possible story directions, and not much reality or story freshness ever returned.
The ending made this film reek of crap. They took all the plot from the first two films, threw it out, and made up some bullshit. This was meant to be a surprise, but the only surprise the audience was left with was feeling cheated. Remember how it was supposed to be an entity that was attracted to Katie? Well, they rewrote it to be a group of witches or something. They weren't scary in the least. It doesn't make sense, and whoever made this movie doesn't care. For what this story was supposed to be out would make the previous two impossible, or at least an endless amount of explanations were needed. Katie, to start, would have to have been a sociopath or not remember anything from her childhood somehow, such as her mom's boyfriend dieing in front of her.
--------- Don't see this film, even if you're a fan of the first two. Remember, your money is your vote, vote for quality. Cheap Hollywood films, that's sole reason for being created is for a quick buck, needs to end. There will no doubt be another film to come, and it's going to be worse.

I'm a big fan. I think every show they've done thus far has been pretty outstanding. But even the greatest artists must hit a speed-bump, and this is Penn & Teller's. The concept I think is pretty good, but the quality of the show isn't.
The real trouble with this series is that it relies on about one minute of actual information per subject. The other 99%, not including advertisements, is pure hype for the next matter at hand.
Hype can be a good thing, when used with caution, but here it's the only commodity. Every episode is full of, "just wait five more minutes and we'll present the subject, but first..." Five minutes pass and it's merely 20 seconds of information followed by the next five minutes of hype and build-up. Cycle, and repeat.
Frustration is the only real thing one gets from this show. The game is to try and pick out the lie, but the editors, or whomever, aren't very good at hiding it. One can easily discount all fact being provided, and just look at the video at hand. In the first show, the fake was obvious because the "security cameras" we're in almost perfect HD with multiple angles on the same scene. Why would security cameras overlap on the exact same position. I know I wasn't the smart one out of the many dumb who picked up on it. According to their own poll half the audience picked the right one, out of 6 choices.
It feels like its who wants to be a millionaire stuck on question 1.
