  • Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)
    An unending string of bloopers, starring nubile, buxom and possibly anorexic stars.

  • Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)
    You're bound to scream -- perhaps real loud -- but it may be out of impatient dismay as much as Pavlovian reaction.

  • Tom Maurstad Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)
    Scream 3 is full of surprises . . . it's surprisingly long, surprisingly dull and surprisingly stupid.

  • Steven Rosen Denver Post (Top Critic)
    Isn't that good.

  • Mark Caro Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)
    Despite the various surprise cameos and cute twists, it takes itself too seriously and adheres too strictly to its formula to avoid becoming what it parodies.

    The result is the usual fragmentary mixture of jolts and jokes, knife-wielding maniacs and red herrings.

    The self-referential setup is in place, but not the ingenuity or wit to take advantage of it.

    ...a rather anticlimactic finish to a series that started out with such promise...

    An embarrassing carbon copy of its previous films...

    End (hopefully) to the hit slasher saga.

    A bad slasher movie, made by a talented man who brought hardly a one of his talents to bear.

    The other Scream films were also tricky and convoluted, but I don't remember them playing like the WB version of Murder, She Wrote, as Scream 3 too often does.

    A pretty funny gore-fest that delivers the goods with a few new twists.

    The new movie strays pretty far from the original idea -- that the Scream characters are horror-movie savvy.

    Just a blur of blood and guts -- exactly the type of dreary mayhem that Scream was born to demolish.

    Fulfills its modest ambitions by delivering a glib slasher spoof for the mall crowd.

    The humor here is derived from slapstick and caricatures and the occasional semi-entertaining cameo rather than witty self-awareness.

    Wes Craven ja brincou com este tipo de historia - muito melhor, diga-se de passagem - em 'O Novo Pesadelo: O Retorno de Freddy Krueger'.

    Go see it. It's fun. See if you can spot the "homages" also known as "satirical rip-offs."

    While Scream 3 is only an above-average film in its own right, as the conclusion to the trilogy it works more effectively than anyone had a right to expect.

    If you want your trilogy to become a franchise, make something grander than Scream 3.

    Unfortunately, this final installment, while answering some lingering questions, still doesn't feel essential.

    The film turns the franchise into the type of conventional slasher saga that the first two films so effectively lampooned.

    A solid hit on all counts!
