Look at it this way: Home Alone 3 is not a "bad" movie, just not as enjoyable or charming as the previous two. I bet that's why a lot of fans are hating on it. But, in my opinion, I think that on it's own, it's pretty good. Just don't expect it to be tied up with the Kevin MacCallister universe which both Home Alone and Home Alone 2 shared. Home Alone 3 showcases its own style instead of copying the themes again just like what Home Alone 2 did. It's really impressive, I watched this movie a lot in my childhood, and it really has its good moments in there. Just keep your eyes peeled for the booby trap scenes while being hyped about the plot. I do recommend, though, if you're not a fan of action-like & dark movies, don't watch this movie. I think while both Home Alone 1 & 2 are the the most memorable parts of the film series, Home Alone 3 is also good. All the other ones are complete garbage imo. Let's have a great Christmas.
