Scary Movie 3 (2003)
4/10
Good first half, then faaaaades awaaaaaay
4 October 2004
First of, I love the original title of this film: Scary Movie 3: Episode I - Lord of the Brooms. That had me rolling on the floor. Then came the hilarious trailer and I was thinking: maybe it will be as good as the original Scary Movie, and not so much like the terrible second offering.

And better than part 2 it is. It's fresher, funnier and the movies it makes fun of actually were movies that I saw and had a certain feeling about (whether I liked them or not). It's main goals are Signs (which I loved) and Ringu (which was pretty good as well). But numerous other movies are mentioned (to name a few: 8 Mile, The Sixth Sense).

While it starts out like a blast, the movie loses a lot of it's touch in the second half, coincidentally (?) when Leslie Nielsen makes his appearance. Really mr. Nielsen, move on!

4/10.
