Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This movie should be shown in cinema lessons as among the worst sequels ever, really! Our french BTTF is so bad that you can't imagine it! If you do a sequel, it's because you have a story to tell, especially when you do time travels! Here after 1 hour i was still wondering what this one was about: so our medieval heroes are stuck in Revolution but what's else? nothing... it talks, it shoots, it brawls but it's empty air, it's nothing... Sometimes a sequel can be saved by a talented cast: here there is no none: it's not the cream of the cream but the bottom of the garbage: Dubosc ? Testud ?? Abittan ??? Lutz ???? At last, if it's a comedy, you can laugh... here, not once!When you think about the first movie, the American remake and most of the second movie, you just don't understand what happens here... So it was so bad that i just stopped it after endless dreadful minutes of pain... It's sad for a french classic to not have a worthy final and to be lost forever into the limbs of time....

This third movie is far from the precedent ones. The story was boring and joke-less. I hoped for and I was ready to laugh, but nothing really. It ends with a not-funny racist comment, leaving an even worst "after-taste". Personally, I think one should not allow to play racist movies, at least not in the theatres.

-Les Visiteurs 3: La Révolution is a film franco-belgian tchéco of Jean Marie Poiré delivered in 2016.-It is the third opus of the trilogy Les Visiteurs; it is the sequel to the second opus Les Couloirs du temps : Les Visiteurs 2 ,eighteen years after the production of the latter, in 1998, and twenty years after that of the first film, in 1993. He puts in scene the duo of characters of the first two films, the Duke Godefroy de Montmirail (Jean Reno) and his squire Jacquouille la Fripouille (Christian Clavier), but also new protagonists interpreted by Franck Dubosc, Karin Viard, Sylvie Testud, Ary Abittan, Alex Lutz, Pascal Nzonzi and Marie Anne Chazel.-The film is produced by Sidonie Dumas, general director of Gaumont, the Belgians Sylvain Goldberg and Serge of Poucques for Nexus Factory, Christian Clavier for his production company Ouille productions and by Jean Marie Poiré. In addition to the performance and the production, Poiré is also co-author of the scenario with Christian Clavier, as was the case for the first two films.-Only three actors from the previous two movies play in this third opus, namely Christian Clavier, Jean Reno and Marie Anne Chazel; unlike Reno and Clavier, Marie Anne Chazel embodies not the same character than in the other films.-Filmed from April to June 2015 in the Czech Republic and then in Belgium is the film with the remake Les Visiteurs and Amérique (2001), the second film in the series have not taken place in France. The film is also back to the realization of Jean Marie Poiré, after an interruption of almost 14 years.--Criticism: -The press is not allowed to watch the movie in avant-premiere by fear of bad reviews, the only two projections for press to be reserved for a part of the media TV and radio, less critical reassessment. The Gaumont should be aware of the mediocrity of the film will enter into force on the buzz and the wait before the nostalgi dart elend in the room. In short, the press vibrates the film to its outcome, it reassessment 'laborious", "average" and "dated". According to Mathilde Cesbron, journalist on Point, the film "is nothing more than a vague soup lette and old-fashioned, which even lady Ginette nothing of would like to", with a plot a minima, humor on the discount, a social criticism non-existent, a Jean Reno is non-existent and a Christian Clavier who plays on.

18 years. This is the time the french audience has awaited to finally open its twinkling nostalgic irises on the sequel of the second opus, "The visitors II, The Corridors of Time". Considered as the french "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" tinted with the complex and fanciful theme of time-travel as in the "Back to the Future" series,our two medieval heroes had been left to the time of the French Revolution after gulping down a gut-twisting magic potion blended thoughtlessly with Grand-Marnier, thus altering the effects.The third opus uses the maneuvers which have made the films cult: misunderstanding between characters of different epochs, funny repetitive cues from Jacquouille,incongruous props,crude humour in reference to personal hygiene... Unfortunately the rhythm is hardly sustained. The characters' caricatures are shy next to the famous duo and even though the encountering characters are historically closer (Middle Ages vs Early modern Period)than in the previous episodes(Middle Ages vs Contemporary 1992), the social gaps are not exploited enough, consisting mostly of already-used jokes. How flat is the use of situation comedy which provided the previous productions with such a relentless succession of bemusing sidesplitting circumstances! The comedy of manners is intelligent in not being one-sided, we see the non-aristocrats wallowing in the luxury and advantages recently seized from the aristocracy.The movie is however a real delight for its respect of history and historical figures, the costumes-alluding to the fantasy of the time-and the settings shot in Belgium are beauteous.The script holds well even though the last 20 minutes were a bit sped up compared to the sluggish diner scene with an interest centered more on including historical characters than spurting out-of-control developments like the one in the first movie. The development is actually different, there is less come and go between time periods (except the end)while Godefroy and Jacquouille are endeavoring to survive and find the key to unlock the padlock of time, id est the wizard and the magic potion. This choice might be sacrificing a potential source for jokes, but it has the advantage of focusing the lorgnette's lens on an era with all its subtleties, while framing the script to make it perfectly consistent. Fans of the genre will appreciate the fast straight-to-the-point editing proper to Jean Marie Poiré, the director, and the same original soundtrack by Eric Lévy in tune with the compositions of Felix-Mandelssohn Bartholdy (Violin concerto in E minor, Op 64). Some patching-up had to be done considering some elements in the previous films, some actors were not included either because their role was not fitted in the story (Christian Bujeau as Jean Pierre-Goulard the husband, Valérie Lemercier or Muriel Robin as Béatrice de Montmirail...) and some were replaced (Pierre Vial as Eusebius the wizard, Didier Pain as Louis VI le Gros...) considering the particular case of the absent-minded wizard threatened to be immured in case of the no-return of the knight and squire. In "Les visiteurs: La Révolution", while we are shown the macabre fate he underwent, we are acquainted with a new replacing character kinshiply related, that sort of ellipsis, though respectful to the previous scripts, would have needed additional clarifications for the audience less comfortable with the entire storyline. Watchers will notice the physical changes of the two main actors after 18 years, an observation which has cleverly been dealt with in the movie as being a consequence of time travel accelerating the process of aging.Regarding the dialogs, we do not find the same richness of language in old medieval french as before, yet we discover 18th century expressions and the clash between the two is made good use of. Additionally, we pleasurably witness the practice of wit in a dialogue of hypocrisy when Karin Viard as Adélaïde de Montmirail resorts to her charms to obtain the most and give the less to a well-off blue blood. Eventually, any film with our two star-crossed visitors includes a twist and an unresolved plot at the end. As a faithful sequel, amateurs of the genre can joyfully consider the possibility of a fourth movie with the hope that the story does not go too worn-out. With a similar focus on history and script, Poiré and Clavier will really have to reinvigorate the comical foolhardiness they were able to adapt to the screen years ago if they want to end the series successfully.
