Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

vengeance20 Wasn't knowing what to expect with this installment until watching & was truly blown away by how twisted & messed up it was, which was epic as hell!This entry sees Andy as a 16 Year Old Teen being sent off to military camp 8 Years on from the events of Child's Play 2! But Also at the same time, the Play Pals Company & Factory gets up & running again! So Chucky's melted corpse from 8 Years ago gets punctured, causing blood to drip into a pool of plastic thereby making him a brand new body! He once again tracks down Andy but has a change of heart when after being sent to the military camp, a kid named Tyler steals him, thereby making him the new body of possession!I found this sequel to be not only the superior of the 3 but the superior of the entire series of the 7 films released! It was dark, sinister, & evil as hell! Chucky's twisted sense of humour is really shown here than in the previous 2 films! The death involving the refuse truck driver was the most memorable from this film even though the deaths in this film alone are unique, different & way more gory than ever! But sadly this film marks the last we see of Chucky doing this "soul transfer" as the previous films don't cut justice to this one! But oh well...!Overall an epic sequel & the best in the franchise! 9/10

OllieSuave-007 The not-so-innocent movie about a child's doll continues with Andy Barkley (Justin Whalin), now a teenager, enrolling into military school. The authorities and corporate officials discount Andy's story about Chucky the killer doll as fantasy and re-markets the doll in stores. Soon, Chucky comes back to life and sneaks into the school to take revenge on Andy and seek a new body.The plot's pacing, script, and music score work fine in this movie, with some suspense, thrills and creepy moments. The acting was pretty good for the most part - especially enjoyed the characters of Andy and De Silva, the tough but sympathetic female cadet. Some of the military characters were a little overbearing and the lead kid character was a little mediocre I thought.Whalin portrayed Andy with determination and endurance in braving through the grueling military obstacles and in going against Chucky. Brad Dourif gave another sinister, dark, and sarcastically funny portrayal of Chucky.The overall plot may seam quite entertaining, but almost predictable now by the third entry. Still, a quite good horror sequel for a few scares.Grade B

lucaspd-99044 Ending the trilogy of Chcuky we have this third part that definitely does not work. The production of the film is very mediocre, the visual effects in animatronics are quite rough compared to the other two films, the direction of art and photography do not impress in any moment. Writer Dom Mancini says that because of studio pressure he had to write the script in a hurry to get it released just nine months after the second film. This only proves the lack of creativity in the story. The biggest problem of the film is the fact that it can not interest in any moment, besides the film being a bummer. The script is a complete abomination and the performances, besides being completely exaggerated, generate laughter in situations that were to be tense. If there is anything that works in this film it is Brad Dourif's voice work, which is really exceptional. Other than that, it's a boring and uninteresting movie.

MaximumMadness Whelp! At least they tried... I guess.Yeah, unfortunately after a pretty stellar original and an uncommonly strong first follow-up, the "Child's Play" series started it's third go-around with not so much as a skip-and-a-hop... but more of a stumble and splat. Suffering a wildly rushed production period and an admittedly strained and stressed series creator forced to lop together a script in record-time, "Child's Play 3" is one of those sequels that just never quite comes together and never really seems to know where it's going. It tries to be a decent sequel... I will give it credit there. But it's trying despite the fact there's just no energy or motivation to support its attempts at delivering a satisfying follow-up.We begin a handful of years after the climactic and apocalyptic finale of "Child's Play 2", as the Good Guys doll factory is re- opened and Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) is inadvertently brought back to life. Once again seeking to swap his soul into nemesis Andy Barklay (now played by Justin Whalin), Chucky follows him to his new home in a Military Academy. However, realizing that his new body will allow him to bend the rules of his voodoo curse and find a new human subject to take hold of, Chucky sets his sights on Tyler (Jeremy Sylvers), who has befriended Andy. And so, Andy must try and protect his young friend with the help of the beautiful Kristin (Perrey Reeves) and his other new friend Harold Whitehurst. (Dean Jacobson)Series creator Don Mancini once again writes the script, and he has been pretty candid on the failings of the film. Universal, knowing the cash-cow that the franchise had the potential to be, pushed Mancini and the other creative minds behind the series to turn around and creature a third film in a pretty unheard-of amount of time- just nine months after the last outing. And of course this studio-logic backfired on a grand scale, as the film seems far more scattershot and unfocused as a result of such a rushed production. It introduces new ideas and a few fun high-concept set-pieces... but fails to utilize or even properly establish them much of the time. It throws in some really fascinating scenes of humor and horror that function well enough on their own... but never quite come together as a cohesive story on the whole. And it brings up a lot of fun, archetypal characters... but never quite allows you to connect with them beyond a few short scenes here and there. While I do think that Mancini did an admirable job with the amount of time he had, you just can't help but notice how much it doesn't work.Though to be fair, I must give credit where it is due. And a big part of what does work is thanks to the cast. Whalin makes for a compelling replacement as Barklay, now older and suffering the tragic effects of his childhood traumas. Whalin actually feels quite organic in the role, even if he isn't the world's greatest actor, and you could definitely see the child from the first two growing up into him. Dourif as always is a joy to behold in what has now become perhaps his most iconic role. I really appreciated that they give him a bit more range here to stretch his chops thanks to a handful of genuinely comedic moments. Sylvers makes for a very fun and fairly compelling child-actor, and he's probably the best in the entire series, making Tyler endlessly likable even when he can occasionally come across as a bit bratty like most kids. Perrey Reeves is absolutely adorable as Andy's new love-interest and also comes across as more than just a damsel in distress- something the series has been quite good at avoiding through most of it's thus-far six chapters. And even for his limited time, Dean Jacobson is a lot of fun as Andy's sort-of new best friend who gets dragged along for the ride.I also must give credit for director Jack Bender's solid visual choices. Now known mostly for his work on popular TV-franchises such as "Lost" and "Game of Thrones", Bender has a keen visual eye and really lends his talents to making the few strong and stand-out scenes work. Particularly admirable is the wickedly entertaining climax taking place in a nearby carnival. While it never quite reaches the depraved brilliance of part two's doll-factory finale, this film nonetheless crafts a fiendish and wicked setting for the final showdown.Still, it all comes back to that rushed production and rushed script. Strong performances and solid sequences are key... but when they just don't come together, it doesn't matter. Say what you will about other entries in the franchise, to me, this is probably the "Child's Play" series at its weakest. For all the fan complaints about it, even "Seed of Chucky" was at least a far more ambitious and cohesive experience. "Child's Play 3"? It's just a dull repetition of what came before.Perhaps appropriate in some perverse way, I give "Child's Play 3" a sub-par 3 out of 10. At least the previous sequel and it's self- aware follow-up in "Bride of Chucky" more than make up for its failings.
