I love this movie! It is one of my favorites. Will Smith (Detective Spooner) plays the part to a tee. He's believable,emotional, and funny. I like that. and most of all, he's smart. He doesn't trust the robots, and he's not backing down. Dr. Lanning was his friend and he smells a rat when the Doctor ends up dead. "Looking" like a suicide, Spooner begins to investigate, finding robots at every turn trying to kill him. Of course, no one believes him because of the 3 laws that all robots are programmed with which prevents them from hurting a human. This movie is smart, sharp, funny and sticks it to hard core believers in the "god of technology". In the end, "Sonny", the unique creation of Dr. Lannings, saves the day by turning against the evil robots and helping the humans. Bravo! I don't see how one couldn't like Sonny, he's awesome!
The first two "Scream" movies were clever, building great suspense while poking fun at other horror movies. This one attempts to wrap up the trilogy and remain as sharp as those entries, but falls a bit short. It gets too frantic near the end and tidies things up too neatly. But a worthwhile rent anyway. (as with many horror franchises, this one was resurrected in 2011 with a plan for 3 sequels, starting with "Scream 4")
Unlike many horror sequels, this one delivers suspense and scares. It is also almost as hip and funny as its predecessor. A good cast helps.
Rachel mcAdams and Cillian Murphy play a game of cat-and-mouse in claustrophic settings. Craven returns to the suspense genre with decent results.
This is an average horror outing from master of the genre Wes Craven. It begins fairly well, but by mid-point becomes too jokey. The makeup-effects are also subpar for this type of movie, despite the talent involved.
Weak horror film attempts to be hip in the "Scream" mold, but fails to provide scares. At times, it's even laughable.
Like the movies that are paid homage to in Wes Craven's and Kevin Williamson's clever sleeper hit, "Scream" is the best in its franchise. It also remains one of the better entries in the horror genre of the last 25 years. We so rarely see characters in horror movies that are smart and likable, not to mention in a script filled with fun lines and suspense-driven direction.
Film's only plus is seeing Kristanna Loken nude for a few seconds.
BEST. Western. EVER.
This wins Best Picture and Saving Private Ryan lost to Shakespear in Love?!
Like most movies now a days, the premise was there, but the movie just fell flat. The ending had nothing to do with the overall plot. My choices in movies are now questioned by my household because of movies like this.

Tavernier?s representation of the ?American archetype? in ?In the Electric Mist? (2010) is a diligent repetition of endless Hollywood films about super-crooks and super-heroes. The American super-crooks are depicted as heroes of social success while being disgustingly cynical characters bathing in luxury, and the American super-heroes are also crooks of another sort ? so motivated to get the ?devil? that they fabricate the evidence and are merciless and cruel (but the viewers are, as always, on their side because it is so obvious who is super-bad that being just bad already looks like being super-good). As always in Hollywood productions, ?badness? is rooted in ?perverted? individuals and has nothing to do with the socio-politico-economic system. And this Hollywood-like juicy ?realistic? style! ? This confident settlement of the director and actors in the flesh of life (without any psychological asceticism and emotional modesty which are inseparable from the ability to deliver at least some meaning). What?s happening with decent European directors when they get American contracts (except Louis Malle)? Whom they are identifying with when they are making American movies? To use Tavernier?s film?s images ? they identify with drunk-drugged philistines ? they are drunk-drugged with their dream about loud money-success in U.S.A. www.actingoutpolitics.com

I love this movie and this movie came out the same year as high school musical 3 senior year.
Good mixture of comedy and horror. Plus, it comes with a memory for me. My brother said "You haven't seen enough scary movies, so let's see 'Scream.'" This was Christmas Eve, realize; a lamb dinner was ready at the point when the principal was killed, and I couldn't even look at the meat! LOL

I love watching movies of all types and consider myself to be open minded when reviewing films but in this case I can only say that this movie was an absolute piece of crap. I feel like I raped my brain by sitting through 90 minutes of some of the worst acting I have ever seen. The only redeeming part of this movie was the special effects and the ending.
I really tried to enjoy this movie, but it just did not work for me. I kept checking my watch to see how much longer I had to sit through it.

This is maybe the best western ever to not include Clint Eastwood. In fact, it beats some Eastwood ones (3 Mules for Sister Sara, I'm looking at you). The movie starts out very well done, but the ending brings it all back home. A classic on the level of the greatest movies in the genre.
