Scream 3 is watchable, and is a good film. It's still scary just like the other two movies, but you could also get a sense that it doesn't take itself too seriously at times. The only issue I had with this movie is that the main character (Sidney) didn't get much screen time as you would've hoped. It's definitely the weakest of the trilogy, but they're all good nonetheless. Nothing more to say really other than the fact that it's a fitting end to a trilogy. I'll give it an average rating.
... View MoreWhile Sidney and her friends visit the Hollywood set of Stab 3, the third film based on the Woodsboro murders, a new Ghostface begins to terrorize them once again. Scream 3 is once again directed by Wes Craven and stars and Neve Campbell my biggest problem with this film is that it's not as strong as the previous 2 films and Ghostface is not as strong as he was before with Stuart, Billy and Mickey but the film still packs some punches for example the beginning of the film, that scene with the mirrors and Parker Posey or even cameos like Carrie Fisher. Scream 3 is basically the Rocky V of the Franchise neither bad or awful but neither great or amazing just a good sequel with some pretty good moments in it.
... View MoreThe crew returns to make this horror franchise a trilogy. This time, the killer is stalking Hollywood and the stars of a meta movie Stab 3 based on events of Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and company. Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) also return as wealthy consultants for the films and amateur detectives. The killer starts with Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber) and works their way through the actors in the new film in the order that they die in the script.The movie expounds on trilogies and skewers the shallowness of film stars. Randy (Jamie Kennedy) is revived in a video to explain the rules for the third part and this means that things from the past will come back to haunt the main characters. The plot does come around and connect with the other films though the final explanation comes off as a little flimsy. Wes Craven embraces the campiness of this slasher flick a bit more than the first two.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
... View MoreI 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.
