Everyone in 2000 had really big white teeth. Sorry to keep you all waiting for this. This franchise never really did anything for me I was too hip for it when they came out winning youth bowling trophies and going to bed at 8.

Although this messy slasher sequel is watchable enough, there are some serious plot and continuity issues. First we see 'Jay and Silent Bob' outside the set of "Stab 3" on the Miramax lot in Hollywood, however later in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"(2001) they crash the set of "Scream 4" starring Shannen Doherty and an orangutan. What am I to believe that these two are some kind of magic interdimensional traveling stoners or what? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Undeniably stupid, but as long as you don't expect any actual suspense or logic it's a decent watch. I especially enjoyed the first in-joke filled 30 minutes. Some cheesy but amusing cameos and a decent cast. However, with every stupid character that gets killed the movie seems to lose some steam, with a sleep-inducing finale as a result. Would have enjoyed more gore as well.

The least focused film in the series, likely due to Williamson's absence, Scream 3 is a runaway train on a collision course to nowhere. There are far too many subplots occurring simultaneously, and narrative threads seem almost arbitrary, moving from one sequence to the next without rhyme or reason. The meta aspects are overkill, the death scenes are lazy and/or poorly staged and the final twist is just laughable. Campbell and Craven make it watchable, but only just.

On this big of a film, you would think someone would have taken issue with Cox's bangs. Neve Campbell was on-set for possibly 3 days. This film presents an interesting meta idea of a film-within-a-film, and then possibly because of the bloated runtime, squanders it. Parker Posey is a lot of fun.

I was much more disappointed with this than I thought I’d be even with all of the negative reception I read about. Having two Gales was pretty fun, and Neve Campbell is as cute and magnetic as ever as one of my favorite horror icons. I liked the movie set chase scene too. Otherwise, this is pretty mediocre. A lot of the scenarios and attempts to be like the first movies were lame and some of the kills and decisions were stupid as hell. The change is writers is very evident. Skip it.

For what was suppose to be Wes Craven’s conclusion to this trilogy, it seems like some of his tendencies got the best of him. This continues the series formula of it’s self aware tropes, but eventually it does begin to lose its flair as he continues to take it even farther down that rabbit hole. However, it tries to be more clever than need be, and does so by trying so hard to connect this as a true trilogy when it never needed to be this complicated. It’s fun, but not great.

Unlike most horror sequels, Scream 3 follows the same characters from the previous two films. So the stories of the trilogy are connected. That causes all believability to cease, as it's hard to believe that there would be so many ghost-faced, knife wielding killers whose soul purpose is to kill the daughter of someone who wronged them. While Scream 3 is fun, it isn't at all plausible and the only entertainment comes from guessing which character is going to die and when.

The movie relies so heavily on the predecessors, it is confusing, & not infrequently slow. The cleverness relies on the movie making within a movie jabs, & there is little to scare, or surprise. If you've made a study of the first two, then this should suit you fine, otherwise, better killings are in order.

Not quite as clever or scary as the previous installments, probably because Kevin Williamson didn't write it, but it's still very entertaining and a more than respectable ending to the smartest, if not the greatest, motion picture trilogy of all time (although with Toy Story 3 coming out soon that title may be solidified). If Williamson's script for Scream 4 turns out to be about re-boots, we just may have the most consistently awesome film franchise ever on our hands. ...also Parker Posey!

Just more of the same from the Scream series, don't understand why the rankings are so much lower when it is basically the same movie as 1 and 2. Answers some questions and has some hilarious and awesome deaths. Patrick Dempsey is probably the least believable cop of all time and the villain reveal is sorta lame too but not a bad movie but it doesn't feel essential in any way. Can't wait for Scream 4 though feel me

Craven goes nuts by experimenting as wild as he can with the meta stuff - Stab 3 is in production while we watch Scream 3. Mom's past comes to life as she was abused as a young actress - Milton is HARVEY -, Sid's unknown bro returns as a director trying to make it and the doubling continues as we get two Gales investigating the damn thing - they even meet Carrie Fisher as the head of the studios archives. Sid being chased in the set of her own home might be the franchise's greatest set-piece.

Covers the same grounds as the first two, but much less effectively. By the third, there is no more cleverness to be had and it veers dangerously close to just being a straightforward (and boring) horror, rather than the spoof that the earlier ones had more cleverly pulled off.

As with the first film, the narrative is ultimately organised around the protagonist's absent/late mother, and judgments of her sexual and maternal role sufficiently severe as to inspire lots of murdering. What's with that business? Well, Craven has always been conservative, and as for the original writer, the 'wit' of Kevin Williamson has never prevented him from having at least moderately crappy politics when it comes to gender and sexuality.

Scream 3 is a moderately enjoyable film if only because it continues the trend of making fun of the genre it's trying to be a success in. It doesn't come close to the first film and is still worse than the second one, but it's not a terrible watch. You will already like these characters and you'll want to see their story play out, and that was enough for me. It needed to take the same direction as earlier installments, though, as being more comedic didn't work.

2. The trilogy is very consistent with its intros and I cannot decide which one's my favourite: the first is a classic, the second is very original, and I find the scene in S3 the scariest of them all. The alternative intros on the DVD were on par with the featured one too! S3 brings even more consistency to the series with its meta treatise, humour and references. Jay and Silent Bob, Carrie Fisher, WOW the ending and a big Hoorah for Neve Campbell. I don't know what all the hate is about.

This time around, the killer has a magical sci-fi device that allows him to perfectly mimic any voice he wishes, presumably just by thinking about it. They introduced some stupid new twists to the Scream backstory to support a really stupid character as the villain, and even shoehorned in some characters who died in previous movies, through some really lazy plot devices. And of course, the deaths and whatnot are even less memorable than they were in Scream 2.

Not as funny, not as violent, not as scary, too self-referential and uninspired. I mean it isn't the worst film in the world by any means, and it's more than competent and features a few interesting setpieces, but the new characters (of which there are many) are under-developed, and parts of the film feel much more convoluted than in previous entries - and Scream isn't exactly known for simplicity in storytelling anyway.

Unfortunately, the last of the original trilogy is also the most lackluster. The plot is messy, most of the characters are flat, and the same old Dewey/Gale story from the last two movies is just repeated so that all the development from the last film is pointless. The killer reveal is pretty underwhelming and the story behind it isn't built up nearly well enough. All in all, it's unfortunately disappointing.

As is the case when you get into the 3rd or higher entry for most horror series, Scream 3 descends into that territory where there is too much comedy and not enough horror. Sure, all of the Scream movies have had a certain amount of comedy, but it's always been evenly balanced with scares; I did not feel that balance held true for Scream 3. For me, this was definitely an unnecessary sequel.

Certainly the worst part of the 4 movies. You may think sometimes that even the others don't have a nice screenplay but enjoy them anyway for direction or whatever... but you certainly realize watching this that even in those cases the script wasn't awful... because in this case it is. The lack of Kevin Williamson's writing (he's credited only for creating the characters) is noticeable. You cannot neglect writing this much without consecuences.

Parker Posey takes a below average movie and sinks it to the depths of the unsalvageable in this ridiculous bookend to the trilogy written by Ehren Kruger, apparently responsible for every bad screenplay known to Hollywood. If the writing isn't wretched, the casting will kill it for you with a somehow less inspired cast than Scream 2's who's who of talentless rejects (at least most of those talentless rejects had name value). Scream 3 even manages to somehow outsuck Scream 2's killer twist.

Jesus, Ehren Kruger, what's your deal? Did you try to copy Williamson's snappy meta dialogue, and end up with this piece of shit? Exploding houses? Nonsensical kills? Terrible one-liners and "jokes," like "Was that a threat?" "You'll know it when you hear it." "...WAS THAT A THREAT?" This was a terrible end to the trilogy, even though Syd, Gale and Dewey are great enough characters that I'd see anything with 'em. Oh, and they killed Brock Samson, too!
