Summary: not the best, but a classic none the less
Review: As a fairly big Chow Yun-Fat fan I'd have to say this is my least favorite. I think it's a lack of John Woo. The story never really caught my attention like the first two. Even thought there was more of a love sceen for Chow Yun-Fat, I don't think it showed enough of his passion as did this first one, or even the second one. if you have the first two, or even one you have to buy this movie, just to keep the collection together.

Summary: Woo is "Better"
Review: Even though Tsui Hark is one of my favorite Hong Kong directors, this movie did not at all show his skill. The story was poor along with the actors performances. I may be a little biased since I love John Woo, and Tsui Hark killed their friendship by making this movie. Worth checking out but i would'nt buy it if I were you.

Summary: BETTER TOMORROW III
Review: I OWN ALL OF THE BETTER TOMORROW SERIES, ANY CHOW YUN FAT FAN WOULD NOT OWN JUST ONE, THEY FIT TOGETHER, BUT BETTER TOMORROW III IS MY FAVORITE OF THE THREE. THERE IS A GREAT LOVE STORY, QUITE UNLIKE 1 AND 2(THOUGH THEY ARE REALLY GREAT MOVIES). ONE OF CHOW'S BEST PERFORMANCES. THE LAST SCENE OF THE MOVIE HAS ME IN TEARS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT. A MUST HAVE!!

Summary: Mediocre Chow.
Review: If you expect another shootout-fest like ABT2, you're in for a big disapointment. Tsui Hark took over from Woo alright, but unfortunately he overdid the family values thing. This overlong film is more Drama than Action. That would be OK for any other film, but definetely *NOT* for the ABT series. If you want to see Yun Fat kick major behind in Vietnam, chose the superior "Bullet In The Head". And btw, Tsui Hark did much better with "Peking Opera Blues". Come to think of it, this is probably his worst movie ever as a director. Still, it is not a bad film, but 25 minutes too long and somewhat overwrought.

Summary: The best in the trilogy, and one of the best in Chow's films
Review: It's interesting to note most Chow fans disregard this film, especially when they compare it to the other two in the series. Somehow I've never been able to comprehend this.Many of the critics seem to base their reviews on "how a film in this genre SHOULD be done". True, this prequel differs drastically from the other two as the action is not as bloody (though I don't know how that really relates to how good a film is), and the story-line actually involves a remarkable woman, whom the incredible Anita Mui portrays with stunning success. This disturbs many "loyalists" who consider it a disgrace to bring women into a men's world. While John Woo's films center on the traditional Chinese honor and brotherhood, Tsui Hark makes an even more ambitious effort as he brings these themes to a world swallowed by chaos. In the process of portraying the relationship between the main characters, he humbles the viewers with the realization of how insignificant each one of us can be in the face of change. Yet, he does not drag us into the abyss of desperation, as he offers hope and redemption for those who keep trying. This third installment is a far more ambitious one than the previous two. While those looking for more and more action will not be satisfied, many who look for a complex story-line will be truly fascinated. The values that intertwine and conflict with each other can not be listed in a short review. It's probably best for me to make a few comparisons here. This film is as rewatchable as LA Confidential, if not more, and if The Killer is John Woo's best work, this film is the best work of Tsui Hark.

Summary: Exceptional HK gangster film
Review: This is an exceptional HK gangster film, and is far superior to the previous film in the series, part II. It rivals the original film in emotional content and quality. Tsui Hark is the Steven Spielberg of Hong Kong (equally famous in Asia as a producer, director, and writer -- and quite varied in genre) and this film ranks among his best work.

Summary: Mui at her Best!
Review: This was by far the best film of the series and Anita Mui has never been better. Let's face it folks, we don't buy these films because of the story, the great philosophical message it conveys, or the Oscar worthy performances. Get over it guys....this was a great action flick that should please Anita Mui fans. It's one of the few roles she's had that lets her strut her stuff and she dominates the film.

Summary: great but....
Review: well, its chow yun-fat, yes its a part of the better tomorrow series, but no john woo, tsui hark did a decent job directing but held off to much of the action and has action, chow yun-fat/john woo/fans hungry for more. The entire movie was a romance, which is alright, but when you mix chow yun fat and a better tomorrow, you get a good story which you got in this movie but you miss the playfull aspects from a john woo movie. Its a good movie but it doesnt get all five stars for missing john woo
