Scream 3 was the best - By: Mr. S. A. Clark, 23 Dec 2008 
I know it seems ages ago but i thought i write a review to keep the scream movies alive because have you heard the shocking news it was announced this year that they will indeed be a scream 4in 2010. I am really happy about this as i love scream, its one of my best horrors. shame it had to wait this long for a fourth installment of the movies. if your a new viewer to scream then what have you been doing? i sugest you buy all 3 & watch them but remember that always bolt your door (because you never know who might come in) & turn the lights out but whatever you do, don't look outside while your watching it lol.
Scream 3 is brilliant with lots of shocking creepy moments & blood & gore. I am not going to write a summary of what is happend but i will tell you this that neve campbell who played sidney survives.
ROLL ON 2010 FOR SCREAM 4 (CAN'T WAIT)
VERY POOR SEQUEL - By: Lou Almighty, 17 Oct 2008 
Yes, Scream was very good. Scream 2 was okay. But this is just total garbage. There is nothing new here - you'd think that if they had planned a trilogy they'd done some better planning, but no! You don't care about the characters getting killed (a problem most slashers have). I was very disappointed, especially as this film got hyped so much. Stick with Scream 1 & stop there! This one I wouldn't even buy for one cent! If you expect the gore level to increase - big surprise there as well. This could have gotten a 12 Certificate. So on the bottom line you've got a slasher that has absolutely NOTHING to offer. Why bother?
Yet another fab sequal! - By: crazykat, 13 Dec 2007 It is hardly surprising that this was brilliant saying the first two were aswell. Sequals often get more & more worsein my opinion, however this was very much alike to the first two.
A must see to any scream fans!
A GREAT ENDING TO THE SERIES - By: stuart, 03 Nov 2007 
Following a brutal murder, Gale Weathers, (Courteney Cox) is contacted by Det. Mark Kincaid, (Patrick Dempsey) as she has knowledge of the murders, & determines that Roman Bridger, (Scott Foley) new horror movie could be a target. Meeting up with Dewey Riley, (David Arquette) again on-set, she is turned away until the rest of the cast, Jennifer Jolie, (Parker Posey) Angelina Tyler, (Emily Mortimer) Tyson Fox, (Deon Richmond) Sarah Darling, (Jenny McCarthy) & Tom Prinze, (Matt Keeslar) begin dyingin the order they doin the script. Using it as a chance to reconnect, they end up bringing up Sidney Prescott, (Neve Campbell) connection to the killings. When she becomes a target from the killer, the three friends & remaining cast members manage to find that her mother had a connection to what is going on, & try to stay out of the way of the killer.
The Good News: Frankly, this one isn't as bad as some think it is. The fact that, for once, the stalking scenes are suspenseful is one of the film's greatest strengths. The opening is just as good as the others, which gets really going early on with the phone-call, & from there it goes into the great bedroom search that is really suspenseful. This one also has some suspense from the calls, which here are finally done right. The twist with the different voices rather than the one is a great one, since it adds to whether or not the voice is real or the killer's. there's also nothing wrong with any of the stalking scenesin here. There's a fantastic scene inside the studio where the killer chases one of the actors through the different backstage areas, & with several great creative ideas brought in, this one scene leaves a great impression. The assault on the house is fantastic, features a couple great scenes & ends with a bang. The best scenes, though, come from all the stalking & chasing down at the end. From the discoveriesin the basement to the chase behind the glass mirrorsin the secret passageways & much more, these scenes are pure joy to watch & really get entertaining. This one has plenty of action to it as well, including a frenetic chase through rush-hour traffic, the fantastic house assault & the big chase through the studio are all fun & really keep the film going. These, plus the film's stalking give the film a fantastic pace to it. The fact that this one also decides to really fillin a couple of holesin the story. This one really fillsin the holes nicely, & there's some fun to be had from the really good explanations, which make sense & makes this really feel like a well-rounded trilogy. These here are what the film does right.
The Bad News: This one here doesn't have a whole lot of flaws. The biggest one is that there's a whole lot of padded timein the film. This one, unlike the others, is way too long & seems stretched out. The beginning hallucinations don't do much, as there's no reason why these are there other than to give false scares & stretch out the time. Even the ending is stretched, which is just far too long & drawn-out. The explanations just take forever & at several points gets too over-explained, becoming a torturous monologue to something that was perfectly understood minutes earlier. This one also really lacksin the slashing department. The kills are hardly unique, with only two or three not donein a singular fashion, & those don't have gore to them at all. These small flaws are what keep the film down.
The Final Verdict: With a lot to really like about it & only a few mild flaws, this is a certainly fun entryin the series. Really recommended for those who love the teeny-slashers at the time or are huge fans of the series, who will find a lot to like about this one, while those who aren't big fans of the two will really be left cold with this one.
It makes you squeal in delight rather than scream in fright - By: , 13 Feb 2006 
Ok, the first 'Scream' is excellent. No doubt. Its first sequel was a dull film, reiterating the same tricks, which is boring.
However, 'Scream 3' is great, owing to its hilarious script. Some of the lines are melodramatic, & the production team made a wise decisionin employing Parker Posey to read them! She is the one to whom you warm the most, because of her "ditsiness". It is genuinely AWFUL when her character is killed off.
Neve Campbell is back, along with her colleagues from the previous two films, David Arquette & Courtney Cox-Arquette, all of whom pulling off their characters at the same high standard. Sydney is still uptight. Dewey is still charming. Gail Weathers is still annoying.
The film moves along at a steady pace & does not let your attention drop, mainly owing to, as I have said, the comic element to the film, which has not been so presentin its predecessors. Also, it toys with the 'film within a film' scenario, which works well since the trilogy deals with serial killers imitating murderersin film.
So why have I given this only 3 stars? It's because some moments of the film had potential to go further (I mean they could have been much better), & what there was of these scenes was therefore mildly disappointing. Linked to this, some of the acting is rather static (not by the leading actors, of course).
However the twist is a real twist & the film nicely "wraps up" the story.
It's a good film so long as you don't take it seriously.
