howdy!
i personally thought the first scream ruled, the characters i loved! (tatum and stu) they rock!!!! 😄 anyway the 2nd is probably least fav (randy dies) 🙁 yeah and the third was pretty good i liked how (as randy say trilogies do) it went back to the beginning and revealed somthing we thought was true but wasn't true!--randy vidio quote! it was not as good as the first! sequals never (almost never) surpass the original!
by definition they are inferior films---RANDY
!YEAH BUT THATS JUST ME!!!

The 1st Scream is the best. It's gunna be a classic. I really don't like movies, ya know, that have teenagers in them. But this one was ok to me. It had me thinking and confused the whole time. The end was great on the first one. I had no idea it was going to be the 2 dudes. I rewinded back and forth just to make sure it was them doing the killings, cuz I was so confused! But, nevertheless, the 1st one is the best. And the second one wasn't too shabby. The third could have done better. I felt kinda sorry for the girl who was getting beat up at the end of the 3rd one.
Well anyways here is my onpinion on Scream (haven't seen the second and thrid). I think it was a good movie plain out. I missed the first 25 minutes, but no difference. It is a horror/comedy. Lots of in-jokes in the movie made it reallyt enjoyable. In fact I feel like listing some of them right now:
1. Wes Craven plays FREDDY the Janitor
2. Linda Blair(the girl in the Exorcist) makes a cameo.
3. The constant references to other horror movies
4 The Billy LOOMIS character
Also Henry Winkler nearly had me on the ground from what he said to the kids running around with the Ghostface masks. Hard to believe he was once the Fonz. Jamie Kennedy is great as Randy Meeks, my personal favorite character in Scream. Matthew Lillard's demise is the best death in the movie. Also the movie is more down to base with its viewer in my opinion.
I think, love or loath the 'Scream' series, it and Wes Craven ressurected Horror as a profitable genre. However, it did pave the way for a lot of godawful movies such as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', 'Urban Legend' and 'Valentine'.
Personally the original is up there with Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as one of the best slasher movies around. I don't think there was much need for the sequels but they were always inevitable given the popularity of the first one.
Originally posted by zombiemanNot true, actually. Scream was, from the beginning, planned to be a trilogy. 100% pre-mediated. Part of Scream 3 were written at the same time as the first one

The Matrix was never intended to be a trilogy, that's for damn sure.
LeatherLep, take note, because this compliments the "End of Scream" thread. This is why there were 3 only, and will only be 3.
I'll spoiler tag this for those who haven't seen all 3.
Spoiler:Scream 1, the killers were predictable. Roman found two horror movie freaks who were crazy enough to take their passion to the next level. Unfortunately they got in a little too deep (Stu pun intended). Sydney lives.
Scream 2, someone has to avenge the wrongful death of one of the main characters, so Craven throws everyone a curve by making it Ms. Loomis. This is where the rules get bent a little.
Scream 3, the final act. "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." The rules get broken, all bets are off. So to wrap up the trilogy, Roman takes matters into his own hands and plants the perfect plot that will entangle all the people that ruined his life and relationship with his mother. Sydney and Gale Weathers for the most part.
So, if you didn't gather what I was dissecting there, there will be no 4 because the catalyst for the series, being Roman's revenge, is no more because he is dead. At the end of Scream three, there was a bit of symbolic irony in Sydney leaving her alarm off and her door wide open.
While her door may be wide open, the sequels is not.
the second and 3rd just werent as good cuz they had to kill off tatum! 😠 and i know stu made an awsome killer but he shouldnt have been cuz he should have been in the sequel with tatum and they should of gotten married at the end of the 3rd!(i hated gale, dewey was ok they should of killed gale not tatum 🙁 )
i still luv the trilogy though dont get me wrong!
see how cute they r 2gether, i luv em!!!!!!inlove 😄

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...
yup i agree exactly!!! 😄
