The film evidently lacks cohesion, a valuable lesson on how to misuse the good template set up by its reputable predecessors. While the charm of Berlin and its people does shine through a few scenes, the majority of the stories fail to fulfill the even basic elements of good storytelling. Each story sets up a good premise only to disappoint the audience with an unjustifiable cliché ending, as if someone was yelling at the film makers to wrap up on the last days of the shoot. Overall a major let-down and Berlin simply does not deserve this.
