Tremors 3 - Back To Perfection - Not bad - for a second sequel 

The original Tremors was a classic (not in the sense of The Godfather or Empire Strikes Back). If you like cheeky monster-munching B-movies, you couldn't go far wrong with Tremors. Plus it was successful, therefore sequels were inevitable.

Amazingly, Tremors 2 was reasonably well-received, so many doubted how a third outing would turn out. The two main stars are now gone and the top billing falls to a secondary character in the first two films - gun-totting Burt Gummer. He now returns to his home town to find that the monster worms are now back and spawning (another) new strain of their lifecycle.

Now, Tremors 3 will never be perfect and definitely not a patch on the original, but, for a sequel, it is fun. The worms are now computer-generated (which is a downpoint), but, if you enjoyed the first two and are happy to see the story go on then you should already like the genre and probably won't be two disappointed. On the other hand, if you've never watched a Tremors film before - start with the first one, then the second. If you're still happy, then do the third.
