Reviews
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
elsiagoddess Scream was a classic and Scream 2 was pretty close to it and they are both a couple of my favorite movies. Scream 3 is good. Like you still have the original cast and everything. Just it was starting to become more predictable. Which I guess isn't the movie's fault. Scream 4 was fun too! But I still think nothing can beat the first two movies.
FlashCallahan Sidney has surrendered to the woods, her whereabouts are unknown to everyone but Dewey, and Wes Craven. After a number of murders that seem to be related to the Woodsboro case take place on the set of Stab 3, Sid comes to Hollywood to be terrorised, find out more about her mother's death, and try to figure out how much of the barrel has been scraped making this film.....So as the videogram from Randy states that with the third part of the trilogy all bets are off and no one is safe, this is just a subliminal message to the viewer stating that there is no chore nice with this film, but you have to have a trilogy, and it's going to make a shedload any so who cares about narrative?After a quite impressive opener, it's straight to dumpsville with the narrative. Sidney gets involved for no good reason, as do the other surviving members of the cast, and in hindsight, would any of the really have gotten so involved? Just get in a car and drive far away until the killer is caught.But we can't do that, because we have to find out who is behind all this banality and what their motive is.And if it wasn't one of the poorest Scooby Doo endings I've seen, I'll re watch it with directors commentary.The cast look bored, and it all feels stale and flat, the exact opposite of the first film which reset the clock for horror films.It's a shame though because somewhere there is a good film waiting to get out, but the writing is terrible.
skybrick736 The low point of Wes Craven's Scream franchise has got to fall onto Scream 3. Although Craven sticks to a story-line that is very much connected to the first two films, it is well from polished. The Hollywood angle and certain character developments, mostly Dewey, were a little cornball. Perhaps the most laughable, eye-rolling spectacle was a cameo scene by, minor spoiler… Jay and Silent Bob. That was definitely a what the hell is that for moment. However, Scream never does turn away from a bit of comedy and Scream 3 did provide some funny lines and creative twists. Along with the story-line, the newly introduced supporting cast was perhaps the worst aspect of the film. Besides the main four returning cast members (Campbell, Cox, Arquette and Schreiber), there wasn't one actor or actress who stepped up to the plate to bring out a good role. The ending isn't totally predictable but it isn't as sly as the first two. Scream 3 is still enjoyable but is a weaker film, one of Craven's overall bottom films.
brandonhelee I must say I'vie once was a massive Scream fan but as the years went on and my film watching grew I slowly realized that Scream isn't the god send to the horror genre as most people make it out to be and Scream 2 was just a even more stale version of it's predecessor. Now we get to Scream 3 sure pretty bad but certainly the best of the franchise. Scream 2 instead of brining nothing new to table that admitted Scream the original brought something Scream 3 brought something new. The film is about our typical Dewey and Gale relationship that's been getting old but unlike Part 2 it seems a little bit more heart warming to see this relationship grow into it's happier state in the end of the film. Sydney in this film comes off more like a lame Halloween H20's Laurie clone same thing goes for the equally horrendous Rob Zombie's Halloween II. We got a lot of blank almost non existence characters in this film like the security guard & plenty of others. I like the element that they we're playing around with Hollywood and the sleazy underbelly of it. The killer in the film comes off a little too whiny and complainer but I'll take a solo man act over the very much gay relationship between Billy and Stu or the generic almost comical Billy's mother of which was only saved due to her sidekick having a small bit of social commentary but with Roman I like a solo case and the emotion behind it. Scream 3 unlike Halloween H20:20 Years Latter should'vie been the end of the series but we got a worse film eleven years later in Scream 4 of which I consider to be the worst of the whole franchise might review that soon. Scream 3 seemed like a perfect closure to the Sydney,Dewey & Gale storyline instead of a lame bastardization Halloween H20's ending would'vie brought to Michael Myers something non Halloween fans would consider great.
