Part 3, as are most films if they get this far, is very disappointing in comparison to the first 2 films. It’s set 100 years later from the original, meaning unfortunately Leslie Cheung is long dead by now, and therefore trying to set the story off from scratch again, which is a very bad idea.

Tony Leung takes the lead, though nothing to do with his character he played in part 2. Same with Jacky Cheung. They all look good on screen, and carry out their parts well. The only character to continue is Joey Wong, still looking as stunning as before. Nina Li makes a rather disappointing appearance, but Joey & Tony are the ones who make it look good.

The music is very similar as well to Leslie Cheung’s original theme song, this time being replaced with Jacky Cheung’s version. All in all, it’s a good film, but it just doesn’t feel right without Leslie Cheung, and it all looks like we’ve seen it before in part 1. Tsui Hark should have either left it at 2 parts, or done some serious rethinking before making the final in the trilogy. It's just like the mess up on the Better Tomorrow trilogy. Still, it’s worth seeing if you’ve seen the first 2 parts (which are excellent in my opinion).

Rating [3/5]
