After viewing the first two movies, I can say either the second or third installment is by far, one of the most brilliantly-done Singaporean motion pictures in a long time.Following months after the events of, 'Ah Boys to Men: the Frogmen', it has strong propaganda values about the enduring journey of Singapore's underwater diving team. Effectively combining comedic and thriller genres, it makes for an profoundly entertaining picture all viewers can watch. It's a very delighting experience although there might be a few continuity errors such as Ken Chow being a 'whining' and complainant recruit to a self-matured man and back to a whiney and complainant recruit.Although these are few nitpicking criticisms, the film overall is really good. Whether you actually learn the moral of the picture is up to you, but is a satisfying sequel.

There are parts of the movie that are really funny and that's what Jack Neo does best. He would do well in Sitcoms. However, this is a propaganda movie about an elite navy unit in Singapore which focuses a great deal on some aspects of military training. The scenes in between the episodes of comedy and drama, which are quite similar to movies such as I Not Stupid, are long and tedious to watch. There are quite a few times when you think the movie should end here and I had to drag myself to continue to watch it. If I compare this movie to another military propaganda movie, The Green Berets with John Wayne from 1968, Ah Boys to Men 3 Frogmen fails to build any significant suspense. The various short episodes lack coherence and do little to contribute to a larger story. While there is some character development, it suffers from the lack of a consistent story line. This means that the various characters have little contribution to the conclusion of the movie. In fact, I felt quite happy that the movie was finally over.Overall, the movie feels like a overly long commercial for the Naval Diving Unit (NDU) which shows it in a very good light. The product placement for companies such as Bread Talk and KPMG, also feels like commercial breaks rather than fitting to the overall story. This is perhaps not surprising that the sponsorship comes clear at the end of the movie when the list of sponsors is presented.

I really love this movie and the actors all did an amazing job as always and made it seem realistic. But i like that i didn't see more of the "hell week". Don't get me wrong, i do not like to see people suffering. But, from what i know "hell week" is about naval driver trainees having go through tough training and not sleep for 5 days... I see the tough training given to the trainees and things they did, but i wish that the movie could've gone more in depth into the training at night. But anyways, amazing realness felt from the movie. Ah boys to men fighting! I love the plot and the acting by the actors.now for my praise, the actors acted really well into their respective characters. The plot was also very touching and inspiring. I really hope that Jack Neo would let us see more aspects of the SAF and maybe even do a girl version about it. I am a girl myself, aged 15, i really am interested in joining the SAF in the future, and would really like to see the girls taking charge etc. But, I love the guy actors for ABTM please do not ever change them!
