Pegasus 3

Same great cast, same story

Pegasus three brings back all the characters that we loved and maybe some extras that not everyone have seen. The actors all do a great job and the main group have great chemistry together. This feels like a reward movie for people who have watched all three movies and the TV series. The production quality is top-notch as always. Really shows off the technology of the cars and the complexities of rally racing.

The downside is, it’s the same story as the first and second movie. Down to the same story beats, and if I sat down, maybe at the same point in the movie. There was a potential to do a lot more by having a team of four racers instead of two, and showing the characters as the underdogs against the world. Unfortunately, the story went back to “losers” with no money, one car, evil people in power trying to sabotage them.

Also, my spouse was really upset about the lack of female cast. The TV series did a good job of correcting this and adds to a feeling that the characters have no growth from where they ended the second movie.

It is still a good movie, but does not have the spirit of the second movie. However, it will not have the rewatch level of the second movie.
