Damned if you do, Damned if you don't!
Kinda reminds me of Lucas with Star Wars, the fans whine and complain for years for a sequel, then whine and complain when it comes out, cause it doesn't live up their own expectations.
Sorry but 30 years have passed since the first one came out, times change, people change.
I would have been really dissapointed if he just remade Suspiria or...

Hmm
As a longtime fan of Suspiria, and of Argento in general (at least up until Opera), I had some enthusiasm for this title. Okay, I didn't expect it to be as great as the movie which kick-started the Three Mothers trilogy, especially since this final installment comes nearly three decades later, but I still had hopes.

Hmm, Oct. 20 2008
As a longtime fan of Suspiria, and of Argento in general (at least up until Opera), I had some enthusiasm for this title. Okay, I didn't expect it to be as great as the movie which kick-started the Three Mothers trilogy, especially since this final installment comes nearly three decades later, but I still had hopes.
The best I can say is that I didn't entirely hate it.
Nearly every scene is stolen - well, self-cannibalized, to be fair - from previous works by the director, and those which aren't are either overly garish or strangely lackluster. The acting was uniformly awful, which isn't unexpected, but damned if it wasn't worse than usual. The score is decent, but a far cry from the maddening strains of Suspiria. The dreamlike qualities of particularily Suspiria and Phenomena, which covered many of those films flaws, are not present here.
Unless you're an Argento completist who absolutely NEEDS to know, it may be in your best interests to rent this title rather than buy it.

Terrible Movie, Oct. 17 2008
This is one of the worst films I've seen in a long time - and I enjoy both horror films, Argento films, and other titles under dimension extreme. Avoid it!

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't!, Oct. 30 2008
Kinda reminds me of Lucas with Star Wars, the fans whine and complain for years for a sequel, then whine and complain when it comes out, cause it doesn't live up their own expectations.
Sorry but 30 years have passed since the first one came out, times change, people change.
I would have been really dissapointed if he just remade Suspiria or Inferno.
Watch it for yourself, if you like it like I did, great, if you don't, watch Suspiria again.
There is some bad acting (name an Argento film that doesn't have that! ) the story is kinda lacking (like most of Argentos work) but its filled with gore, nudity, and very disturbing images !
Enjoy !
(oh and looks like they are remaking Suspiria by the way ! Be afraid)

Oh, mother! What tears!, Janv. 16 2009
Twenty-seven years is a long time to wait for the final part in a trilogy. And unfortunately, the eagerly anticipated The Mother of Tears: The Third Mother does not look like a film that was twenty-seven years in the making. It seems more like a rehash of older ideas that was hurriedly thrown together at the last minute.
WARNING!!! SPOILERS ALERT!!!
While I try not to give away all of the plot, there are some definite spoilers following. If you intend to see this film fresh, read no further.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
The Plot: During the excavation of a graveyard in Rome, a coffin is found in an unmarked grave with a mysterious wooden box chained to it. The Monsignor of the church sends the box to a museum in Rome, where he hopes his friend, Michael, the museum's curator, will be able to shed some light on its contents. Michael is away when the crate arrives, and his two assistants, Giselle and Sara (Asia Argento), are unable to resist opening the box on their own. Inside they find three talisman figures, some knives, and a tunic with some strange writing on it. When Sara goes to another room to retrieve some books to help with translation, the three talisman figures and their pet monkey appear and horribly murder Giselle. Sara returns to see the strange figures toying with Giselle's remains, and, aided by an unseen savior, barely escapes with her life.
The police react with suspicion to Sara's story of the three deformed figures and a monkey. She and Michael, the curator, begin to make plans to track down the meaning of the artifacts and their relation to Giselle's murder when Michael's son is kidnapped. Michael disappears to look for his son, leaving Sara alone with the mystery.
From there, Sara wanders from person to person, seeking help with the situation, amid the growing chaos of a violent crime wave that has seized Rome, and the arrival in Rome of scores of witches from all over the world, come to celebrate the return of the Mother of Tears. Along the way, she encounters an exorcist (the always-delightful Udo Kier), a psychic, and an alchemist, all of whom give the young woman a lead in the mystery, and all of whom are then murdered in grisly fashion.
The story of the Three Mothers who have ruled the world for a thousand years is helpfully recounted by the exorcist for the benefit of Sara and the film's audience, briefly covering the plotlines of Suspiria and Inferno to tie the three films together. There are a few inconsistencies in the storyline. Mater Tenebrarum, for example, is referred to as the Mother of Pain rather than the Mother of Darkness. Most of these can be overlooked as realistic inconsistencies in the characters' researches and knowledge, but none of it amounts to much anyway. There are a few intriguing ideas, but most of them have already been covered in Inferno. One tale of the Third Mother is told over a series of drawings that may be intended to evoke classical woodcuts, but actually look more like comic book illustrations.
The psychic, for her part, helps Sara establish visual contact with the spirit of her dead mother (played by Daria Nicholodai, Asia Argento's real life mother) who appears, like Obi-Wan Kenobi, as a spectral figure to give advice whenever Sara gets into a tight spot. (The line "My mother was a dancer" suggests that perhaps the part was originally written for Jessica Harper, the star of Suspiria.)
The alchemist had in his possession a book which reveals the look of the house where the third Mother can be found. It also contains a red herring "puzzle" which has absolutely no bearing on the film's resolution. Sara uses the book's illustration to find the witches' lair, where she is confronted with a hellish tableau of inhuman torture and murder. She and a police officer who has been following her face the Mother of Tears herself and manage to bring an end to the reign of terror in a rather rushed and perfunctory conclusion.
The story, for all its sturm und drang about the end of the world, is wrapped up much too quickly, and rather unsatisfactorily. The punchline is like a throwback to the Hammer Films days when Dracula would trip and fall to his death just as he was on the verge of victory over his adversaries. While this kind of ending may have been acceptable in a 1960s thriller, it is distinctly unsatisfying in a modern horror film. Honestly, is this the best Argento could come up with in twenty-seven years?
There are some striking visuals, and the expected elaborately staged murder scenes. But even these look strained and unimaginative. There are also many gruesome references to motherhood and womanhood, but, as usual with Argento, these are without purpose other than as prompts for more shocking visuals.
The film is most pointedly let down by terribly weak performances, particularly from Asia Argento in the lead. It badly needed a much stronger actress to carry the film's absurd premise and preposterous situations. Asia revealed in the Q & A session following the film that she had lobbied her father for the part. So perhaps family politics won out over artistic aspirations.
Argento himself revealed in an interview that he had not originally envisioned a trilogy until after Suspiria was completed. Perhaps it was a conceit he was mistaken to follow. Despite the director's half-hearted comment that he will miss having the Three Mothers roaming around in his imagination, the film looks more like someone's overdue homework assignment than an obsessive labor of love. Argento seems glad to be done with it.
I echo his sentiment.
