It's an alright third part of the (now) Barbershop trilogy.
Not that very many people actually asked for a third one but yeah it didn't turn out too bad, not as good as the first (which to me is a borderline classic) but slightly better than the second (which to me was just okay).
Not tremendously many surprises to be found, mostly consisting of people discussing various topics in a barbershop per usual. This time though often in a more serious tone as opposed to the previous films where it was mostly about the jokes (and yes black lives matters etc are covered in the topics but not to the point that it gets exhausting they do mix it up a bit).
Most of the old cast have been replaced with new characters, Ice Cube, Cedric and Eve are the only barbers to return in this movie.
Troy Garrity and Sean Patrick Thomas does both show up but they've left the barbershop and only serves as cameos this time around.
Michael Ealy and Leonard Earl Howze (African dude) are nowhere to be found.
The newer recruits are mostly okay though albeit can't really fill the big shoes the original gang left, Common might be an exception though, always found him to be one of the better rappers turned actors. Nicki Minaj mostly serves as eye-candy but it works.
Also JB Schmoove replaces DeRay Davis (who has said not even to been asked to return) as the 'hustle guy', I don't think they are the same character per sé but they don't really differ a whole lot.
Tyga who I'm not really much of a fan of I must admit is pretty good as a gang member in this.
Anyway overall, watchable for sure but if they do a fourth one they have to switch things up a bit more.
