ONE OF THE BEST IN THE CHUCKY FILMS.......2007-11-03
After the remains of Chucky (Brad Douriff) are recovered from the factory after the end of part two, he is reanimated into a new form. After murdering the head of the company, (Peter Haskell) he finds the new location of Andy Barclay, (Justin Whalin) and searches for a way to get there. Meanwhile, Andy is a new recruit at Kent Military School, where the head, Cadet Lt.. Col. Brad C. Shelton (Travis Fine) makes his life really uneasy. Despite making friends with the school's rebel, De Silva, (Perrey Reeves) and reject, Whitehurst, (Dean Jacobson) Shelton still wrecks havoc in his life. Once Chucky finds his newest target, (Jeremy Sylvers) Andy tries to stop him. However, once Chucky finds that it is more fun to simply kill everybody at the school, he uses that to his advantage and begins killing everyone on a company retreat, leaving Andy and De Silva to fend for themselves against Chucky.
The Good News: In this entry, all the elements from the previous films are present: a fast pace, good blood and gore, tons of cool deaths, and a credible way to have Chucky resurrected. The change of setting to a military academy is a good move. It allows Chucky to use some of his tricks in a place that can accommodate them. The change of place also gives him new weapons to use, which he uses to great advantage in two of the movies greatest parts. The final military game is the best example, where a slight change by Chucky drastically changes the course of events for the better, and the scene is a lot of fun as a result. The second is a very funny scene where Chucky kills a fanatical barber in his chair, which I will not spoil because it is a great scene. In fact, the humor in the film is a bit more apparent here than in any previous installment. I think it is for the better, as Chucky unloads a few good one-liners. There aren't at the level of the classics in "Bride of Chucky," but a few of them are really up there. I did laugh at a few of the jokes and scenes, and the lighter tone works. The harshness of a military academy is greatly offset by the jovial atmosphere Chucky exudes, even though it has a few genuine jumps. The main one is pretty early, when Chucky's box is taken to a storage facility, a young kid is looking at the box and Chucky explodes out of the box, roaring. The second great scare is a memorable one, if only because it caused a character to have a heart attack on screen. A pretty bloodless kill, but it looks great on screen.
The Bad News: The main thing that I think most people hate about the film is that Chucky starts to become a comedian more than a slasher. I don't mind, since most of the jokes are pretty funny, but that may turn off a few people. A lot of people mainly like the first one because it isn't all that funny, while the second one is considered to be merely OK, but this one is hated more than the others because it has a pretty good sense of humor and most true fans don't get that. Other than that one reason, I really don't have any complaints.
The Final Verdict: a minor complaint is all I have against the movie. It is a total cheese movie, but it's entertaining cheese. Horror-comedy fans will like this one, as Chucky has a few good lines and a lot of mediocre ones that can still be funny in the right frame of mind. There is a bit of bloodshed and some good kills as well, so give it a chance. It is better than it's reputation.
Wow!.......2007-07-11
This is possibly my second favourite Chucky movie, with number one being my favourite. I preferred this to the second one, and I must admit that the Chucky movies just don't let up. So, if you're a fan of the evil and funny Chucky, give this one a go.
one watch.......2007-05-25
this is the 3rd Childs play film and is in my view one of the worst films I have seen.
I was a fan of the Childs play series since seeing Childs play 2 and was looking foreword to the 3rd instalment....
however I was greatly disappointed the story didn't seem as interesting as the 2 previous films It all seemed rather hollow.
also I felt that there was "overkill". with every character either being killed by chucky, suicide or a heart attack.
it is funny in places and the acting is fairly decent although I wouldn't watch this more than once.
Good sequel.......2007-02-25
Most reviewers seem not to have liked Childs Play 3 as much as as Childs Play 1 and 2, but I actually thought it was a pretty decent sequel. Especially considering that the writer of the movies had run out of idea's after Childs Play 2 but was pressured into making this (which was realeased only nine months later) straight away.
Childs Play 3 takes place eight years after the ending of Childs Play 2. Theres the usual chucky-doll-being-brought-to-life-again scene during the opening credits and then we see that Andy is now 16 years old an enrolled in military school. Meanwhile, The Play Pall's Toy Company decide to start making a new batch of Good Guy's (and the prototype just happens to be Chucky). After a brutal murder (his favourite type), Chucky posts himself to Andy at the military school and it's not long before the body's start piling up as he continues he quest to get revenge on Andy.
Im not sure why this movie was rated 18 as it is actually milder than the first two movies. Definatly should've just been a 15.
Childs Play is quite scary and has a few moments that make you jump. Although the story line and death scenes are not as good as other Child's Play movies, this movie does succeed in being very suspencefull and has some good one-liners from chucky. Deffinatly worth watching if you are a fan of the series.
chuck is back again .......2006-10-27
the film was made 9 months after the second man and producer don mancini has gone on record saying that he ran out of ideas after the second movie and while that may sound horrific in itself this is still entertaining and funny despite courting controversy after its release for reasons that we wont get into here.
childs play 3 is set 8 years after the second part and chuckys enemy andy has enrolled himself in military school,chucky the doll comes back to life and someone manages to place himself in a box and post it to andy,strange how he could have done that,and upon arrival is intercepted by a little boy who likes the doll but of course doesnt realise that the doll contains a human serial killer.
There isnt a lot of gore here but there are great one liners from chucky who is as evil as they come,not the best in the series is usually the cry from fans and i agree but this is nonetheless entertaining.
