This one is different enough from the first two to make it feel fresh. I like to imagine Jay and Silent Bob are always just walking around touring film studios. Also I watched this on Carrie Fisher's birthday. Makes me sad we won't see her in more movies. RIP

Not great by any means, but also not that terrible. However, is it just me or did Wes Craven and writer Ehren Kruger tried to call out Harvey Weinstein, the producer of the movie, because characters constantly kept mentioning "sleeping with the directors and producers to get certain jobs" and "Hollywood is full of criminals whose careers are flourishing." Very scary, but not as scary as Courtney Cox’s hair! I mean, what the heck was that!

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘Scream 3’: 1. I hesitated rating this entry a 9, but it’s definitely somewhat inferior to the first two… HOWEVER, not by much AND there’s a lot it gets right. It pays homage to the original in more ways than the second did. The character development is on point. Sid gets some great moments _(“I’ve heard this shit before!”)_. And the ending is literally perfection. The series truly could have ended here, with the biggest and most beautiful bow on top. 2. What might make it feel inferior is that it felt a little too Hollywood, with its rando cameos and over-the-top scenes and plot points _(that voice changer is quite a stretch)_. But this could be excused by the fact that Hollywood is a big part of this chapter, and that this series is ALL about making movies. In the end, it gives the franchise a fresher feel… something sequels tend to fail remarkably at. 3. Another reason why it doesn’t reach the heights of the last two is the supporting cast _(minus Parker Posey, of course)_. But the truth is, our legacy trio are the heart and soul of this franchise. Every other new face, since the original, will always and forever pale in comparison. Bonus Thought: Roger Jackson is an icon. This whole series would be nothing without his Ghostface voice.

patrick dempsey is SO attractive in this. It is honest to god his prime age. So much better than GA as not only was he an asshole in that, but the show in general just sucked.

I feel like in this one they returned to form. It’s much better than 2 imo. It almost feels that aside from a couple of story beats, you could skip 2 entirely and it would feel like a direct sequel to the original
