scream? your thoughts, and my thoughts...

just for the record the sequels for scream sucked ass. yeah, the first one was a new idea and all that crap, but as a movie it does nothing special. the only thing that came from the first scream were the crappy ass teen slasher movies with over paid actors and horrible plots. the second and third scream were way too predictable. i wont lie that when the movies first came out i enjoyed them...til the third one. the third scream is one of the most predictalbe horror movies i has ever seen. i felt robbed of my money as i told my friends in the theaters what was gonna happen without watching the movie previously. and the only reason that the first one had you guessing till the end of the movie is because they "pretend" to kill the characters during the movie, which to me, is a horrible way to keep the killer identies secret. and the killers for the second two movies was redictulious. nothing positive i tell you came from those movies.

i find the first scream movie very unique...because if you remember the poster of Scream had Drew Barrymore on it. and EVERYONE thought she was gonna be the main character that the killer is after blah blah blah...but right in the first 5 minutes BOOM she's dead....

that is very impressive...i believe it called situational irony...

I don't see how anyone could call the last 2 boring, or say that they were predictable.

Anyone honestly want to admit they knew who the killer was in Scream 2, even though she had ABSOLUTELY NO SCREEN TIME UNTIL THE END? 🙄

As for the 3rd one, I, personally thought it was even less predictable and nobody dare say they knew who it was going to be, or that he was indeed the one that had orchestrated ALL the murders through the trilogy. While it wasn't necessarily the most exciting, as it was more to tie up loose ends and tell the "Final Chapter", it was still entertaining.

What Scream did was very rare. It was an actual planned trilogy, that fleshed out almost flawlessly. It was a genre milestone, and probably what singlehandedly brought Wes Craven's name back from the grave.

All that said, I love all 3. I think the trilogy is a movie milestone, and if anything is underrated.

Original Scream is an awesome movie. It was insane when they were in the kitchen stabbing each other.

Another good thing that came from Scream was Scary Movie 1 and 2 both hilarious

..but pieces of cinematic garbage. Funny thing is that the only truely funny installment of the franchise, being "Scary Movie 3" almost out grossed the first 2 movies combined.

The first scream is gold. The sequels tried way to hard to pull the rug out from under us and make the viewer go "whoa, never saw that coming". While it does achieve this, it does it by having the killers end up being so obscure that they're stupid and not shocking but just confusing and silly.

Like I said, I love the first scream, for it's time it was very unique and genuinely entertaining, but I hate what Scream spawned, the sequels and the other rip off teen horror films almost destroyed the Horror genre for good, as those movies were the only type of horror films getting big releases for several years.

Luckily good horror films are starting to get big releases again, thanks to the wonderfully crafted albeit tired 28 Days Later, which was basically the savior for quality horror films of today.

^ hes so smart isn't he. bet he ate some REALLY smart peoples brains

I like Scream...........I dislike the second and third. I'm not going to rant about what they fail to achieve or pick them apart bit by bit or anything..........they just bore me. They took a good movie and made the sequels tiresome to sit through. It's the only movie I can think of that was created with an all-star cast and released as an A-list movie......then had B-movie sequels made with the same cast. I've owned the Scream box set since the day after it was released and not once have I uttered or even thought to myself, "gee.....I feel like watching Scream 2 or 3 today"........

Hell.....even with movies like PoTA I'll get on a kick. I'll watch Planet of the Apes......then get in the mood and end up watching all 5 that week. Not so with Scream. After I watch it, I put it back in my dvd collection and give no thought to the other two.

IMO the first Scream was a classic. The other two were ok movies, but they really ruined the original because that's what sequels usually do.

Nothing wrong with honesty.

I liked the 1st scream. I went and saw the 2nd, it was ok, but I didnt bother to see the 3rd.

wow, make a few coments and theres always someone who thinks its in their (and i bet they think their doing it in everyone elses) best interest to stick their head in. hey, guess what! its not! and basically what he said summed up what needed to be said.

Yep, my bad. This was the 1st time BF was "shown some love". It was Evil Dead who got his ego stroked the last 2 times..

yup yup yup, once again Evil Dead knows ****ing everything. to smart i say

i cant help but like Evil Dead, can you....

I find that a little more than "agreeing" with what someone said.

well the first was praise. yes, agreed. the second was a statement. sorry, but i didn't realise we wern't allowed to make statements here. my bad

oh.....come on Cinemaddiction.......Backfire and I both rule......get with the program.........
