I was about 10 when the first movie came out, and I think part 2 was released too soon. But I think the time is now right for part 3. Whether it be a pasng of the torch to a new generation or just a continuation of the series, or both as it sounds, I think it is long overdue. The franchise is a huge cash cow as well, and I am sure this film would continue that trend. I agree with this guy's opinion 100%

I know CGI will be used to the max and provide a lot more options, but I also loved the good old fashioned special effects of the original films. Bill Murray said the wounds from GB2 finally healed, so I am sure the pason will return for the 3rd installment. I would much rather a sequel than a 3-D remake, which all we see these days. I hope they come out of "retirement" at least one more time.
