Last, but not least, we have scream 3, the most entertaining, but cliched, series in the trilogy.

The Final installment centers around Sidney, who is now known by Lara, as she has started her whole entire life over, isolated from society to make sure that no one tries to haunt her again. As usual, when people start getting murdered, again, Sidney gets a call from the killer, and soon comes out of hiding to reunite with Gale and Doowey.

Now this is the most entertaining of the Trilogy. Full of comedy, suspense, and action that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Now the movie does suffer from Deju Vu, if you have seen the first one you will know what I am talking about,
how they found out who the killer was in the first film, is the same way they found out about him in the second, faking death, then showing up out of nowhere to reveal that they are the killer.

We don't get as much information about trilogy's, that we get in the first two movies, but if you look at what I said above, they there is no need for it, because that is basically what is in a trilogy, action, suspense, and comedy, also a script that is suffering because Kevin Williamson didn't write this, Ehren Kruger did, which we don't get a hip young cast, but like with I still know what you did last summer, a more mature theme.

Though the movie's biggest fault is it's script, it is still entertaining, better than the original, IMO, so I give this film a 7, because I feel it's right for it.

This flick had its moments and I thought it was interesting how it seemed to mix a little supernatural elements in it. However, it was still a waste, much like the sequel. 6/10

Prince no offense but you need some serious work on your reviews. Perhaps a little helpful commentary:
Your grammar needs some serious overhauling, not punctuation or anything but your use of words, "series in the trilogy" would probably sound better as "installment of the trilogy". "known by Lara" should be "known as Lara."

Thing like this can take away from your credibility.

Also, a little fact checking and rereading should be done, saying that the first 2 Scream movies had more info about trilogies doesnt make any sense. The first one had info about horror movies in general, and the 2nd had info about sequels..neither mentioned trilogies.

Lastly, (and IMO most importantly) you scoring system needs an overhaul.
"better than the original, IMO, so I give this film a 7, because I feel it's right for it."

You gave the original an 8...if part 3 is better why did it get a 7? Also, the delivery of a score should have a little more explanation that "i feel it's right for it"

I'm not trying to bash you, but merely provide a little helpful criticism. :tiphat:

I'd give it a 5.5/10

*I think it's still watchable if you got nothing better to watch.

I tend to agree with Fright about the supernatural elements. This film differed on that front. Still it didnt make up for some of the lame characters conjured up in this film.

Film was more or less a running montage of the first film. I liked the recreated sets from the first film and the nods to the first film. Also it had that great opening sequence which was a staple of the series.

I enjoy the trilogy, but no denying this is the weakest of the 3.

Only good part was Jay and Silent Bobs cameo.

Thanks for the advice. The problem was of the simple fact that I was up at two in the morning write this, so there may have been a little mishap on the sayings or whatever. The reason I gave it a seven was because of the simple fact that it had more action than the first, but the second one overruled it, if you read the review of SCREAM 2 you would know that I said it was better than the first, so that explains why I gave it a 7.
