Nobody is ever going to have a passionate argument for Critters as a great franchise. The first two films were fun little Gremlin's rip offs. But the concept had basically been driven into the ground already. Small (Or apparently HUGE) creatures with an insatiable appetite wreak havoc on the human race. So what does Critters 3 do to set itself apart from the first? Pretty much nothing.
With a flat cast of characters, low body count, and an unbearable script, Critters 3 is hard to sit through. This was the time to bring some sort gimmick to the franchise. Instead we're treated to the same old crap. You know it's trouble when one of the best scenes in the movie is a pointless one showcasing the Critters ability to pass gas. My advice is to stop at 2 unless you've become a hardcore Critters fanatic for some reason.
Side Note: This is Leonardo DiCaprio's film debut! He's a far cry from the Hollywood A-Lister we know today. It's a very interesting way for him to start his career.
