Kevin Smith having a heart attack years ago truly shook him to the core. He changed so many things in his life as a result of that near-death experience. Knowing Kevin as little as I do, and knowing how similar our thoughts tend to be, I can understand why Becky's death was a necessary event in Clerks III. Kevin has sat and contemplated what the lives of his friends and family would have possibly been like if he had actually died. I think that was why Becky's death was a necessary part of the film; so we could see how her death affected Dante.

Love this. It's also a hell of a lot better done here than in the old script (the same choice was made in the old script)

The overarching theme is Randall making a movie. Here's how you play it, first lines of Clerks 4. Dante: "I thought I died in the last movie". Randell: "No, that was just in the movie I made".

Please let this be true.

It was good,but I hated that they killed off Dante.😢And my heart broke that Becca was dead.😭💔Dante's and Becca's scenes together were emotional and heartfelt,but was still so sad. Never thought that a Clerks movie would make me ugly cry.😟

Even Dante himself liked Empire's ending better since it ended on a down note. That's what life is.

Honestly, I kinda hope Kevin will keep making View Askewniverse movies, but not sequels. I really loved how his early movies had the same universe, callbacks and links between them, but he created new characters and new storylines and then added Jay and Bob for some hilarious scene. They are the best when they are on the screen for a very limited time. I loved "Zach and Miri make a porno" and this movie could work really well as a part of the New Jersey trilogy (I guess it was retroactively sucked into the canon).

This is the most emotional I’ve seen/heard you do a review, but it was clear from the things you said what this movie trilogy meant to you. I am curious as to how long from when you saw the movie to recording this review as your emotions still seemed very raw. It’s a shame this movie got so little advertising - seemed like it arrived with little fanfare, I’ve hardly seen or heard anyone talk about it.

The "where's the Groin to you?" scene had me laughing so hard I cried.

I loved Clerks II.

I just saw it and really the only thing i wish was that when becky and dante walk towards the back of the theater, that the doors would open and alanis morissette was there welcoming them into heaven

It would be neat to see a series of updated shorts on some of the characters. Like TS ends up befriending his father in law and it's just a few minutes of them having a Thanksgiving dinner. Brody running a comic book store and dealing with the death of comic store fronts. Willem being a highschool wrestling coach or something. I dunno. Just completely different tones than the original film to reflect the new stage of life a lot of the characters are in.

It was great, although left me in a depressive state. The amount of callbacks was perfection, and dantes speech in the quick stop right before he has the heart attack is great. 10/10

I love Elias's transformation It was so hilarious And the scenes with Becky and Dante were surprisingly emotional. Good movie, made me remember why I like KS

The last time I was this early was.... Never. I've never been this early! I'm so excited!!

So glad you loved it - I thought it was a beautiful addition to the trilogy and KS got all the big calls right.

Clerks 2 is easily my favourite comedy and Kevin Smith movie. I relate so much to the story and the relationships. It's become the movie I return to time and again when I am feeling especially down. I really need it right now as I had to put down my cat, Swifty, who was my best friend in the world. So hearing how morbid this movie is, I'm extremely disappointed cause I could use some optimism right now.

I saw the movie, was really a mixed bag. It would have been interesting to see Dante as a mature father and family man, and he almost dies from a heart attack.

i cried almost the entire movie. laugh crying is very very ugly. but i loved it. its not a perfect movie but it is a great piece of art from what feels like an old friend. also i saw it in a half packed theater. it was buzzing with laughter and gasps. gen z kids too.

Thanks for watching! You can still use my gift code BLDHOL2 to get the original €20 starter pack of 20 Intimacy Packs, 100,000 Gold & 100 Diamonds.

One thing from the deleted scenes of the first movie "Clerks" which I feel the tragic end of Clerks 3 served as a tongue-in-cheek call back to: In a deleted final scene of Clerks, Dante is alone in the store, a customer walks in, pulls a gun, and shoots Dante in the face, killing him. The feeling was that ending would be far too bleak and awful, mean-spirited for no reason, so Smith deleted it. I think he killed off Dante at the end of Clerks 3 because as far back as the OG Clerks, that was the plan.

This movie felt like it's should of been on KZread Red...for free.

I feel the same way. Not a bad movie by any means, just not as strong as the first two. Clerks is one of my all time favorite movies, but Clerks 2 is a more mature movie and is a rare better sequel in many aspects. I do hope we get to see one more Jay and silent Bob adventure, maybe have Millie join them

Clerks. That movie reflected my generation so well. The second movie was great, a polished comedy, but Clerks 3 had heart. More importantly, it managed to recapture that generational voice somehow. I say somehow, because Kevin isn't a great director. His writing is flawed. But he has heart! That more than anything carries his movies. And it was on display in 3. Congrats on your trilogy, Kevin.

Man I thought the 3rd movie was incredible, however, I will say I didn't expect to cry at all let alone on and off through the whole movie. This was not at all what I expected it to be. Truly had me dwelling on my own mortality for like an hour after finishing lol

Honestly. I feel like it should of ended there imo. But if anyone likes clerks 3 I don’t mind. It just wasn’t it for me.

knowing that dante dies in this movie really makes me want to check out this movie.

I really enjoyed it. Every single person in the movie absolutely nailed their parts. Everyone brought their best.

I can tell that movie hit you hard as it hit me. It really puts a mirror of mortality in your face.

I thought about the Star Wars sequel trilogy comparison as well

I’m a massive legacy Kevin Smith fan and have followed everything he’s done through his career, but Clerks 3 was a giant misfire. Immediately after seeing it my opinion was mood was very much like yours. But the further away I got from it, the more disappointed I became. After the first 2, the third was just off. It wasn’t his heart attack that ruined his career, it was becoming a wake and baker. Being a stoner didn’t stifle his creativity and make him lazy, quite the opposite, it just made his ideas really crappy.

I saw this opening weekend, didn't even know a Clerks 3 was coming out but stumbled on it on the way to see another movie. I complained to my friend for most of the movie, I loved Clerks 2 and it was such a disappointment to see that turn into this. Most of the dialogue felt like forced one-liners, the acting comes and goes, and the worst thing is the premise was so good and just wasted it felt like. The end came out of nowhere and left no real conclusion to the series (which in retrospect, life goes on so having no conclusion isn't a bad thing), just leaving me feeling unsatisfied. All that being said I bawled my eyes out for its last 15 minutes and have been talking about it to anyone that will listen. The ending really as abrupt as it was really made me love and think back on their relationship, it was a beautiful part of a flawed (in my opinion) film.

I just watched this film last night not even knowing there was a trailer let alone that it was released.

i was there for the 1st... fully agree with your critique, and yes... very emotional movie. In position for those that i can see their flaws but iam not able to classify them... because we love them and give us a sense of what it was and could have been but it is not... a sense of nostalgia!

i loved it

i would love for kevin smith to realize that he is more of a george lucas, stan lee, ideas man type, and hire writers and directors to make his ideas better.

people are downplaying this movie but when these movies are something that were apart of your life and clerks 3 even though it was a very emotional it was a good funny movie and had that “clerks” comedy nothing more nothing less and it ended perfectly idc what anyone says it ended perfectly it my eyes perfect trilogy

The Jay and Silent Bob reboot was so bad and cringe I don’t think I can compel myself to pay to go see this.

Yes.. yes it was

I think the way Kevin choose to end Dante's story was very truthful to how real life operates. We don't often get our happy ending, we just get endings and we have to find a way in ourselves to accept and learn from them. I think the process of this film was likely very cathartic for Smith and I think he really shows off his voice in this film which is what he was doing with the first Clerks and something that always generates quality work from a filmmaker.

No, Dante and Randall are the love story at the heart of all these films. It’s a common theme with Kevin Smith, the bromance. That’s why Jay and Silent Bob appear in every one. They’re a mere representation of the life long heterosexual partnership between men.

This for me was equal parts love, cringe, some eye rolls that let me see my own brain, and confusion over Jay’s teeth. The thing that I was getting annoyed about was all the example of stuff they should put in the film, stuff form clerks 1, and I’m like, have they never had any else happen to them from that one day, before I realised that clerks 1 is essentially the film made in this film.

Maybe if he hadn't gone on his tear I'd be willing to give this a chance, but I don't watch media made by people who attack their own core audience over valid criticism. His whole tantrum over MOTU and the attacks on ClownFishTV just soured everything he does for me now. Also 2 was the perfect ending point. Everyone's story was resolved by the end of it

I'm glad you opened the video with how biased you were and how predisposed you were to like this film, even before you saw it. Because honestly that tells me all I need to know. I'm a Clerks fan but I'm not anywhere near as deeply in love with Smith and his material. I found this movie to be cheap and manipulative. I find it weird that all it takes is a little bit of sadness to hide all the other problems in the film. But I guess if it sells, it sells. Also every hack and their mom makes a self-insert meta movie. I'm getting sick of them TBH.

Why not have current customer/ clerk interactions and have a new story with Dante and Randal dealing with Randal falling in love and Dante’s kid taking come of the clerking duties? Why not make it funny instead of so depressing? Real life is depressing, Randal could have had the heart attack and then decided to find his love. It didn’t have to end so badly for Dante. It takes away the ending of Clerks 2 and that stinks.
