The director on reactions to the last movie:
"To me, psychologically, the whole point of that movie is kind of unraveling things and not resolving things."
"There's a lot of people that when they see an ending like that, or that kind of unresolved chaos, they get frustrated as a moviegoer. For me, that's just part of the fun, and then we get to come in and tidy it up with the last one. So any frustration that was expressed about the last one, I kind of just smile and say, 'Hold tight, here we come.'"
"It's funny, because it's so subjective what people want to see with these movies. Some people just want to literally watch the original film. You're not going to remake that; you have to do something different. Some people say they want X, and then when you literally sit down with your co-writers and are thinking about what that would be like, well, that's not really a movie, or that's not enough to sustain my interest, or that's not enough to go back and actually go to the emotional and logistical effort of making a movie. So what is the story we want to tell? What is the atmosphere and the vibe that we want to experience that makes each of our three contributions to the franchise very different?"

Yeah, I don't know about that. After Ends, Kills is almost even more pointless and meandering. Nothing "set up" in that is paid off and Ends goes in almost a completely different direction.
