Summary: Better that the first 2
Review: Last night, upon an adventure to see Kill Bill Vol. 1, I discovered that I was not of age. So as a back-up plan, a group of friends and I viewed probably one of the most surprisingly humours movies of the year. Let's face facts, Scary Movie was probably the best of the series, the humour was fresh, the plot was something out of the ordinary, and the characters were memorable. Scary Movie 2, removed several characters but kept a majority of the key players from the first movie, and placed them in a new surrounding. This unfortunately was only funny for so long, as half way through the movie, the jokes just started feeling dryer and almost predictable at times. I still laughed, but I felt forced to at times. Because of the second movie, I had low expectations of this film. I thought that the idea of making it 14A (In Canada) was going to take away some of the humour and possibly ruin the franchise, worse than Scary Movie 2 did. As it turns out, this was a very funny movie. The new characters did not take anything away from the plot and the acting wasn't half bad. The physical and gooball humour proved effective this time around. It was actually good to see a funny movie that didn't have word F*** in every sentence. Not to mention the movie was short, so it almost felt like punchline after punchline. I did however miss a few jokes because I was too busy recovering for the "FUNERAL SCENE". Nonetheless, I didn't miss the stoner humour at all. Shorty is funny and all, but only in small doses. Another thing I found great about this movie were the parodies of 8-Mile, The Matrix, and The Ring. The whole Video Tape sequence had to be one of the funniest horror parodies I've ever seen. Considering it was potty humour, I just didn't care. Also, I really enjoyed how the new director had made reference to his old films and used Leslie Neilson in this movie to be his same goofball self. A few things I didn't like as much about this movie were some of the visuals. Don't get me wrong there were decent special effects and cool make up jobs, but the aliens were just crap. They're appearance kinda spoiled the idea they were even supposed to be freaky. I also didn't find myself getting too into this movie from the start, unlike the first two films, there were no real moments of suspense and no real reasons to be too freaked out. Minus a few minutes in the basement scene. There were only like 2 deaths, but then again it wasn't based on any type of movie that went over the top with death scenes. Other than that though, it was a solid effort and I can give them an A for that. Unfortunately I gave this movie a B, because the story was kinda stupid and the aliens looked horrible

Summary: The Ring, Signs, and 8 Mile skewered, with good results
Review: I needed something silly after a hard day's night at the mall, plus I was so eager to see The Ring being parodied, hence off to watch Scary Movie 3. In the pretitle segment, there are two airhead blondes, played to perfection by two Playboy centerfold alumni, Jenny McCarthy and Pam Anderson, who talk about a weird video-no, not the one about the couple doing it like aboard the yacht, etc. but one that results in the viewer getting a phone call and then being killed in seven days. Sound familiar?Cindy Campbell, the main character from the first two movies, is now a TV anchor (and a blonde to boot) and is interested in a series of crop circles that are appearing on the Logan farm, which read "Attack here" with an arrow pointing at the farm. The Logans are Tom (Charlie Sheen) and George, the former being an ex-reverend who lost his faith since the death of his wife in an accident years ago. The latter is the younger brother who wants to make something of himself by competing in a rap contest. OK, we all know which movie that is, right? I never bothered to watch 8 Mile, though I saw previews for it, and Eminem gets quite a drubbing as a stage-nervous George barfs in a latrine, while someone's sitting on it, and when he pulls his white hood up, it's pointed like a KKK member, which gets him in hot water. The repeated refrain of his giving up does get old after a while. The three prime targets under attack here are The Ring, Signs, and 8 Mile, and it's the first that gets the most laughs. The video itself is parodied, especially a scene parodying the Matrix, where the Oracle (Queen Latifah) interracts with the woman combing her hair in one of the funniest scenes in the movie. Another funny scene is with the girl climbing out from the well and through the TV screen. As for Signs, the scene of Mel Gibson's character talking to his wife for the last time is parodied, but the funnier part involves the sheriff trying to explain to Logan using food as an analogy. Logan is clueless as to what he's saying. She holds up a hot dog and breaks it in half to explain his wife Annie being bisected by the truck. The dim Logan thinks her w---ie is broken. There are other X-rated metaphors used that make it hilarious. What's also an in-joke is that Annie is played by Denise Richards, Charlie Sheen's real-life wife. However, there are some jabs against The Sixth Sense, as Cindy's nephew keeps telling people the future. At a funeral, he tells one man he is going to be lucky tonight. He then tells the girl he's with, "Don't worry. He doesn't know you're actually a man." Ooh! Anna Faris is the best performer as the lovable but goofy Cindy, whose expressions alone bely her comedic nature. Regina Hall (Brenda) who here plays the teacher of Cindy's nephew, doesn't have much laughs as she did in the first two movies, but her facial expression upon falling victim to the girl of the video is priceless, and her funeral scene is side-splitting. Leslie Nielsen plays the US president and is as clutzy and deadpan as he was in The Naked Gun movies. Like the three Scream movies, this tops the second movie, though not the original. However, one would think that with David Zucker (Airplane!) at the helm, one would think he would have something better given that he's the godfather of the parody genre. His touch is evident, as he eliminates the Wayan Bros's pot gags (and the Wayanses themselves) for Airplane and Naked Gun-type hijinks. How one likes this movie depends on how one likes Zucker's style, plus some non-PC pain gags, especially on Cody, Cindy's nephew who keeps getting hit by cars or smacked in the face by very solid objects.

Summary: Scary Movie 3- Well, It's Not That Good
Review: Scary Movie 3, the third film in the horror-film spoof franchise is losing its grip. In other words this film wasn't at all as funny as the first two, though it was slightly better than the 2nd, it doesn't give justice to the Scary Movie franchise. Though for its few comic moments it does get quite a few laughs. The 8 Mile spoof is truly funny. Also the rating is an issue, if this was "R" maybe the humor could've been most likely a lot cruder and nastier but a lot funnier too. And we had the beloved Wayan brothers behind this movie then it might be a great deal better.
As for the plot, well it's nothing special. I'm not going to bother explaining, because you don't go to see this movie for a plot, I mean come on, you go and see it for the laughs. Anthony Anderson was really funny here along with Simon Rex who plays the role of Emimen so to speak in 8 Mile. The joke with the kid who kept getting randomly hit and struck every other second was just dumb after the 3rd time, it didn't make me laugh any more and it was pretty silly. Knowing that David Zucker is behind this movie, the guy who made Airplane! and two of the Naked Guns film you can expect that. Its obvious to know why Zucker made this picture, mainly just so he could redeem himself after making the horrible "My Boss's Daughter." So making a movie which belongs to a popular franchise is the solution of course, when he's not very triumphant in my opinion.
Even though at the box-office (in its opening weekend)it took in a stunning $49.5 million, doesn't mean you should go and see it. Only if there is not another film, or if you have absolutely nothing else to do. While you're at thought you might as well see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Kill Bill. Trust me it's not that great, maybe just on one viewing that is.
Scary Movie 3 is rated PG-13 for Pervasive Crude & Sexual Humor, Language and Comic Violence. The film features a few racist and sterotypical remarks, but all in all is a dumb, tasteless film.
See it if you must, but I must stress if you must.

Summary: Scary ? Funny ? Eh
Review: I went into this film knowing full well what I was getting myself into. I was prepared for sexy gratuitous sex, wacky violence and a zillion sight gags. Hell, I was even prepared for pop culture's method of hitting someone over the head with a rubber chicken. I get that Scary Movie 3 is a comedy and I should probably lose myself in it and have some fun. I did exactly that for the first fifteen minutes. Then the movie just regressed to being hopeless. I was hopeless to find something to laugh about, with OR at. There were a few good moments and then there was nothing else.

Summary: Well, now I feel bad foe only giving it 5 stars!!
Review: But that's all that I can. I have no desire to see Scary Movie as it looks too raunchy. Scary Movie 2 just looks unfunny. However, Scary Movie 3 was hialrious. I couldn't stop laughing. The movie main spoofs are The Ring and Sighns. And small spoofs off 8 Mile and LOTR. Anothor thing is I actully saw The Ring and so I understood most of the jokes that were spoofs. I got most of the Sighns and lotr jokes as well. I thought it was funny when Simon Cowell insult the Gansters and they shot him. I also liked the part when Martin Sheens charecter (can't think of the name), was like "what d@** thing made the lights go off. Or who could forget how the aleins say goodbye. Overall, this isn't my favorite movie vere, but it is the funniest I've ever seen, in a tie with Kung-Pow and Malibu's Most Wanted.

Summary: mUNKEY BALLZ This movie rulez
Review: Ok, Scary Movie 3 is hilarious but has some off cliche Airplane jokes which makes the Wayans a must. In Scary Movie-they spoof Scream, I Know What..., Blair Witch, Matrix, Sixth Sense, Scream 2, Budweiser commercial, etc. Scary Movie 2 spoofs House on Haunted Hill, Exorcist, Hannibal, Little Shop of Horrors, Nike commercial, Charlie's Angels, Crouching tiger, It, etc.
Now Scary Movie 3 spoofs the Ring, Signs, 8 Mile, Final Destination, Independence Day, The Matrix, Verizon Wireless commercial, etc. You'd have to see all these films to understand the twister humor Zucker fairly and poorly produces.
What happened to Ray and Brenda's relationship-and cindy and Buddy;s? Not that the drama matters but it would help. It is funny and I enjoyed Anna Faris' acting and hopes she'll return for the 4th and spoof like final Destination 2, Identity, etc. Just go see it IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!1

Summary: It's Okay - But It Does Trys - Go Charlie Sheen!
Review: Scary Movie 3 is a farce and funny. The gags and tributes or satires to Signs, The Ring, The Matrix and ten other movies are hysterical. Light fun and great visual gags. The first film is still the best - but this one has its moments. It really tried to take long jabs at things and rely a lot of slapstick especially at a wake sequences. Directed by David Zucker - of all the Airplane movies it tends to drag a little. Pamala Anderson and Jenny McCarthy are hysterical in the beginning and this really is Charlie Sheen's film. I love the fact that Mr. Sheen loves doing these films. Hot Shots 1 and 2 and Load Weapon and doesn't mind doing funny gags, jokes, slapstick and just plain old fashion prat falls! Fun. Wait for the DVD - I hope it will have more extras ! (11-10-03)

Summary: It could have been MUCH funnier than it is
Review: Although not as funny as the other movies, jokes are spit out one after the other in this movie and will make you laugh the moment you see them. It is only after reflection of the movie after you have seen it that you don't think it's as funny as it was at the time, but just don't do that. It takes away from the movie. What makes it funny is the unexpected words that come out of their mouths!

Summary: better then the second one
Review: we dont have the Wayans brothers in this one but its a hell of a lot better then the second one I can tell you that right now and its not R its PG-13. with lots of stars, Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards, Simon Rex, Queen Latifah, Anna Farris, Leslie Nielsen, Ja Rule, Anthony Anderson, Eddie Griffin, Jenny MCCarthy, PAmela Lee, Michael Jackson and a bunch of others star, but whats the point really. melted down by too many lame and boring bits.

Summary: this is the best scary movie out of the three
Review: the movie SCARY MOVIE 3 had many more funny parts that weren't shown in the comercials. it wasn't as disgusting and perverted as the first two. If you aren't a Simon Cowell fan you'll be happy, he dies. I, pesonaly think anna faris is hot! I love how the movie made fun of big hits like the ring and 8 mile and signs. It also made fun of the matrix and michael jackson (even though it isn't too hard to do that). Bottom line is to GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
