Save your money for something good and enjoyable

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's a sequel people, a continuation from the first controversial instalment that had viewers looking away from screens due to the sheer amount of blood, torture and obscenity. After the previous chapter, which felt all too familiar, they changed things up slightly. Following from the events of the first film, Jennifer ditches her career aspirations to become an assault hotline operator and attend group counselling sessions in order to heal her scarring experience. She develops a bond with a girl who is then mysteriously murdered. What does Jennifer do? She lures and traps these unpunished rapists/murderers and kills them in the only way possible...brutally. Stab a neck, slice a man's "Crown Jewels" (only way I could think of politely describing it) in half and even shoving a huge pipe and hammering it up someone's...well, you get the idea. That's all well and good if you have a sadistic mind, but I'm afraid that's only 7 minutes of the film. The remaining 84 minutes are bad. Just plain bad. Firstly, I actually found this film to be the most distasteful. Not because of the vivid torture scenes, which actually are few and far between in this chapter, but due to the depiction of men. Apparently we are all rapists and only live to have sex because it's the only thing we think about constantly. Nearly every male character is depicted to be disgusting, and it's offensively unrealistic. Clearly aiming for a female empowerment thriller, yet it misses and then some due to the horrendous one sided perspective. The screenplay isn't intelligent enough to make us sympathise with Jennifer, so it's just watching a woman kill men with a minimal amount of psychological analysis of her mental stability. She becomes disillusioned with society, unable to differentiate between well-meaning men and sexual predators. But the boring plot and unexciting dialogue never fully explores this. The acting was mediocre also. For a film that breaks its own formula, it feels more familiar than ever.

I just watched this movie and let me tell you... if you liked the first one(I spit on your grave, 2010), you would love this. If the first one had mostly great shockers and scenes and tension, this one has a lot of great plot twists(also with amazing scenes). The plots and plot twists are very interesting and nonlinear(I hate those boring, easily predictable linear plots!). And just so you know , I think the second one, I Spit On Your Grave 2 was really horrible compared to this one or the first one from 2010. I am really looking forward for another sequel and I hope the main character will be the same girl.

I will certainly try to avoid spoilers in my review but have made sure to enter the spoiler warning just in case.I put off watching this series for a long time, I had read previous reviews both good and bad, I decided it was finally time to watch the trilogy. Knowing the first of the films was a remake I didn't have my hopes set too high (however I have not seen the original).I was impressed, I was disturbed, I felt for the character Jennifer Hills, I expected revenge and gore and the film delivered... by no means was it particularly innovative but I sparked emotion and that is important in a revenge/horror/gore flick.Part 2 was disappointing considering it was the same as the first film in a different location ... also I didn't feel as compelled to cheer for the victim character (I've already forgotten her name if that shows how well the movie was executed).I had about given up on the trilogy when I read the synopsis ... Oh what do we have hear? The return of Jennifer Hills, a character I enjoyed. Well heck, now I want o see it. I knew she couldn't possibly end up in the same situation as before so there as hope it wasn't going to simply be a rehash of the previous 2 films. I was excited, still felt some sadness for the Jennifer character, I really hoped we would see her struggle with the aftermath, maybe she would act as a counselor for other victims of abuse and rape, relive her story etc... but that doesn't make for an exciting revenge flick now does it ... I knew there had to be a vigilante angle... now I could only hope that she simply lost her mind and was to become a raving lunatic (Spoiler** Ya that's kinda what happened). Where this film missed the mark for me was from the get go every male character was played out to be the bad guy, even the good guys ... yes I get it, trust issues that makes sense and I really would have bought into it by the end had the Jennifer character met justice of her own ... The ending feels as though it can be interpreted a few ways, the entire story was just her fantasy and she will be set free into society to live out those fantasies (which is how I read it, and it certainly gives room for a 4th film)or that what we did watch actually happened and was now being recounted in therapy (because we do not know what happened with the officer in the park)... This is where I have the problem, to me she got away with it (either having served her time or having only had fantasies which she was about to pursue). They took an innocent character from the first film and made her the villain (which I fully support)but left her as the hero... I know this is all open for debate but I personally feel it would have been nice to see her go over the top, become what she once fought and paid the ultimate price.

I must say, after my big disappointment from the sequel, I didn't think I would really take the time to watch number 3. However, as soon as I saw that the wonderful Sarah Butler was thankfully back, and that the plot actually aims to continue the first film - I figured I'd give it a chance. Boy, am I glad I decided to do that, as "Vengeance is Mine" salvages any and all damage done by the previous sequel (which wasn't bad, simply unworthy).As the synopsis says, unlike no. 2 which was nothing more than a failing tribute (although to a certain extent fun to watch, don't rule it out yet), no. 3 is the actual sequel. Haunted by both the brutalizing gang rape and abuse she'd been through and her terrible violent acts of revenge, Jennifer (now Angela) is trying to cope with the world she believes she lives in - no friends, no altruism, always strings attached, and a blunt battle between predators and prey. Unlike the 2nd film, the acting in this one is as amazing as in the first, with terrific additions like Jennifer Landon as the neurotic Marla and Doug McKeon as the traumatized Oscar.While the first film was all about abuse and vengeance and crime and punishment, the 3rd aims to be a lot deeper and more philosophical. The police has a very central role in the plot, after having a minor one in the sequel and being non-existent in the first. Angela finds herself having to lie and hide in order to do what she defines as right, while her rage and frustration threaten to claim the lives not only of those guilty, but of others as well. The film criticizes not only the monsters who commit the crimes and the system that pathetically fails to punish them - but also the crossing of the line between justice and injustice.Vengeance is Mine was probably out to offer and upgraded plot. The actual acts of abuse receive no screen time, excluding Angela's flashbacks from the events of the first film. The film aims to show the conflict between the reality experienced by rape victims (a misogynistic world where men are either monsters, incompetent pawns or fathers of victims) and the reality that is actually out there, where the truth is gray and there are no absolutes. The victims who turn to violence are criticized as badly as the monsters who made them that way, and the system is criticized for its alleged successes as well as its blunt failures.All in all, unlike the first film, this one is not a plain vengeance film, and we often find ourselves wondering who the monster really is. While having a much deeper message, it fails to deliver the pure satisfaction given by the first film (although "fails" is probably a wrong choice of words, as it obviously had no intention of doing so). After the painful plunge of the 2nd film - the 3rd offers the salvation of the series. Not as good as the first, definitely way better than the 2nd. The added value is obvious, the acts of vengeance still immense, and the overall experience definitely worthy of the time spent watching.
