I watched the whole trilogy in 4K recently with my dad (I saw the first film at the cinema with him in 2002). I always knew 3 was rough and didn't enjoy it the first time about 10yrs back.
However, while it is unmistakably the worst of the trilogy I found it a lot more enjoyable this time around. My problem on my original viewing (aside from the obvious cringe scenes) was that it had too many things going on. Strangely, this time it didn't bother me and I was quite entertained with the flow of it.
It'll forever be the lesser of the three films, but for me, the only thing this movie really needs to make it decent is for the aforementioned cringe scenes to be cut. Just give me a cringe-free cut via seamless branching.
