Summary: Ha Ha Ha!
Review: Go ahead! Say it! (in persons voice) You don't know the ending to this if you never watched it! Well I did! After viewing the preview, I figured it out! Not very hard. This is Wes Cravens worst movie yet! If you don't know the ending of this after watching the preview, then you have got to be dumb. Don't buy this movie because the mystery of it is gone and hardly any action occurs in the film! This movie doesn't even deserve to be a film!

Summary: I'll Scream if there's a 4th
Review: The only thing to scream about in this tired installment is Courtney Cox's bad wig! The film is tired. Once again someone wants Sydney and will kill everyone she knows. The reason the fisrt Scream film was so great was that it poked fun at Bad films . Now Scream has become a parody of itself. No more please......

Summary: Not as Scary as Scream & Scream 2
Review: I thought Scream & Scream 2 were good! The 3rd installment, on the other hand, was a huge disappointment to me. I feel like it's getting a bit more comical now. Kind of like how "Nightmare on Elm Street" ended up after part 2. Scream 3 wasn't as scary as the first one. The story line isn't as good either. The story takes place in Tinsel Town, where the filming of Stab 3 is taking place (what happened to Stab 2?). Sidney is in hiding somewhere in the woods (like we didn't know that was going to happen). To make a long story short, Sidney finds her long lost brother that she didn't know she had...da.dah.da..dah..da. I was also disappointed with Cottonweiry's role in the movie. The ending was open ended, so look forward to a sequel to the trilogy!

Summary: Scream 3
Review: I wanted to see this despite the discouraging reports I had heard about Williamson not being involved and Kruger taking over. In my opinion it was a wonderful ending to one of the best trilogies I've ever seen. It really stayed true to the same actors portraying the characters, Campbell, Arquette, and Cox, and even the original dad of Sidney's was there. It was a stroke of genious to have Parker Posey and Patrick Dempsey in this movie also. Parker was hilarious! I saw that a lot of people didn't like the audio commentary, I loved it! It was so interesting to hear Wes and the others commenting on their work and what their vision was. Kudos to everyone involved with this movie!

Summary: Thin ice and getting thinner
Review: First "Scream" was clever; second was amusing; this one's a limp fish without any real purpose. Sidney is now caught up in another masked-killer escapade centering around the making of yet another movie about said experiences. The problem with self-referential humor, apparently, is that you can't make a career out of it unless you're the Firesign Theater. Stick with the first one.

Summary: Welcome to the final act!
Review: Williamson's style may be missing, but it is not entirely missed. Instead Scream 3 is scripted by Ehren Kruger, who brought us Arlington Road. Scream 3 has all the main survivors and a cameo by Randy via videotape, which is a welcome one. Stab 3 is the movie that is in production in Scream 3 with all the characters meeting their counterparts. The interaction between Courtney Cox, who plays the "real" Gale Weathers, and Parker Posey, who plays Gale Weathers in Stab 3, is always funny and refreshing. Parker Posey is highly energetic and seems to be having a great time making the movie.

Anyway, after a couple murders everyone realizes the people are dying in order that they were to die in the script of Stab 3. Unfortunately, four scripts were created and no one is sure which one the killer is following. Shortly after, the killer decides to create his own script to keep them guessing. Scream 3 does not have much in the way of scares and can be predictable, but it is still a welcome end to the trilogy. GRADE: B

-"Here's how I see it: I've got no house, no bodyguard, and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So now, starting now, I go where you go. That way, if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you. And since they really want to kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you. Make sense?" -quote from Parker Posey talking to Courtney Cox in Scream 3

Summary: Scream... more like Yawn
Review: Ok.. let me lay this down for you

Scream 1- Great... orginal, funny, suspenseful and one of the best movie twist in the past decade.

Scream 2- Not bad... Being released after movies like Urban Legend, I know what you did... this movie takes second chair to teh genre. Its hard to scare people once again with the same old tricks. Ending had somewhat of a nice twist. Saddened by the loss of Randy.

Scream 3- Not good... OK i will give them some points here. One, i like the fact that they gave the killer more of a variety of killing methods.. the chasing with the knife is old. Two, It was nice to see that people in this movie are using those things you hear so muc habout...what are they called..OH YEAH guns. Three, I liked the idea of the voice changer but the conception that someone could get a hold of something like that or that something like that could exist at all is stupid. Me being a audio editor can tell you that for that to work it would have to be Scream 3000. and Four, i enjoyed the jay and silent bob part.

But the ending was stupid as all hell. For a killer premise to work as shocking you have to build up something with that. The first killers were great... you loved them.. you were shocked that it was them. The seconds killers, yes one being very predictable, but the second a nice added touch. You see so little of the killer out of mask in this movie that when he takes of the mask you go. "Who that hell is this looser" Then the story behind him just seems to pop out of mid-air.

I have to give the Scream movies something. They remain a constant. Getting worse as they go on. I am gald that there will be no more. Its a disgrace to the first movie to have such bad sequels.

I am sorry i have yet to see a scary slasher film in my entire life. There is a difference between scared and shocked. And Scream one was the only one to shock me.

Summary: I saw the action and the effects, but where's the story?
Review: Enough already! I will admit that I loved the original "Scream" and I was interested in "Scream 2" to see what happened next, but "Scream 3"? I think I wasted my time. I know that I am probably in the minority here, but I think that everything that the original movie did to restore the slasher film to its glory this movie undid.

The opening scene does reach out a grab you, and gets the action rolling, but eventually you find yourself hoping these characters would die a little faster. The three remaining main characters once again find themselves the target of a serial killer. Only this time it is obvious that the writers were straining to come up with a reason for this killer to terrorize his victims, (oh by the way, several years ago...this happened...and then...) and when you do finally get the climax of the picture, it is a major disappointment.

The action takes place in Hollywood, as each of the cast members (inlcuding Jenny McCarthy) in the "Stab 3" (the movie within the movie) begin to tun up dead; murdered by a sadistic killer that leaves messages for the police in the form of old photographs of Sidney Prescott's dead mother. Dewey (David Arquette), Gale (Courtney Cox) and Sidney (Neve Campbell) start to help the police track down this killer. I guess the problem I have with this film is this:

In the first film we established the "rules" for a horror movie, but in this film everyone seems to have forgotten them. Sidney walks onto a dark movie set alone, knowing that a murder has already been committed there. Characters wonder off into a large dark mansion and decide to split up. We see people who should know better say things like "Wait here." Or "I'll be right back." Then out of the blue Randy the video store geek who died in "Scream 2" shows up in the form of a video he recorded before he died, just in case the gang ever came up against a killer a third time and needed his help. Excuse me! How stupid are we supposed to be! Although his little monologue is hilarious, it is so totally unbelievable that I have trouble coming up with the right words.

Wes Craven also returns to direct and does a decent job directing some very good actors in a very bad script. There were none of the "Man I didn't see that coming!" moments in this movie, and that's what I have come to expect from the "Scream" series. Personally I saw the ending coming a mile away. I didn't get the person right, but I nailed the circumstances leading up to it all. It's not that I'm that smart, but trust me you don't have to be a genius to figure this lame plot twist out.One of the few bright spots is Parker Posey. She plays the "Stab 3" version of Gale Weathers and is absolutely hilarious playing her to the hilt. There is also a very brief cameo by Carrie Fisher that is mildly amusing. Over all the movie was huge disappointment, and had it not been for the outtakes and deleted scenes on the DVD I would have really felt cheated.

Given the state of the Scream plot line, I guess there was only so much you could do with, but making a movie for the sake of making a movie is not the way to go. And it really is a shame, because they could have done some great things with the cast they assembled. If you need this movie to complete the trilogy, then by all means buy it. But if you're thinking of buying it, I'd rent it first.

Summary: The True Meaning
Review: It explained what happen in Scream 1 & 2 by going back in the past, and revealing the true motive. It was a great trilogy and a must have for scream fans.

Summary: Correction to earlier Review
Review: The extras were there...they were just incredibly hard to find. I will leave that mystery to you all to make up for the lack of real mystery in this film.
