Ok, finally got a chance to watch part III a couple days ago....
You know, I haven't watched it in a couple years, figured I'd give it a fair chance since it's an official translation & all, but I'll be damned if it still just doesn't fit. It completely contradicts the point of everything that happened before it (especially part II), makes little to no sense with its ending (just exactly why did Eve have to sacrifice herself to ADAM since he was already passed as a test?), and truly has the worst animation of the 3. I still love the music though, especially Higeki no Idol. The video transfer is just as great as it was with the first two parts, plus there's naked Eve scenes (what more can you ask?).
It's just sad that this was the most resourced part for the matrix.
