screenwriter kevin williamson have nothing to do with write this sequel but even if he have i doubt if he would have be able to improve it much . the fundamental problem with scream 3 be that we have see it all before . there a pre title credit sequence telephone conversation that climax in death and then be on a set of a movie which eventually end with cast member get kill one by one . we know where everything be head but the attempt to hold our attention be rather lame . for example one of the character see the masked killer come towards and guess what . it a dream which be something that ring of pathetic story tell . we also get a cameo from jay and bob from the kevin smith movie which leave a feeling of doubt that the producer be get a bit desperate in the gimmick department . the climax be somewhat watchable but be let down by the fact that sidney probably do not need save after all and the finale be write just so the murderer could explain his motif . for a film franchise that shout how clever and post modernist it try to be the producer should know about the law of diminish return . haven not they see the godfather 3 .
