(Reviewed by Snake-666) - Slightly better than the second
but still rather dull. Will those greedy fat cats at Playpals
never learn? Once again the ‘Good Guy' doll gets re-released and once
again one doll contains the spirit of Charles Lee Ray (Chucky voiced by Brad
Dourif), the notorious Lakeshore strangler. Chucky tracks down Andy (Justin
Whalin) who is now grown up and in military school but after realising he
has a new body Chucky decides to try and possess a young kid named Tyler
(Jeremy Sylvers) rather than try and possess Andy. Andy finds out about
Chucky's diabolical scheme and makes it his mission to stop him, however, as
well as Chucky he is going to have to contend with a power-mad Lieutenant
named Shelton (Travis Fine).
A little different from the previous two instalments, albeit mainly because
virtually the entire movie takes place in a Military School, ‘Child's Play
3' is slightly better than the previous instalment but still seems a rather
unnecessary sequel. This is the first of the ‘Child's Play' films to not
feature Alex Vincent in the role of Andy as the makers opted for an older
Andy in this movie and Justin Whalin portrays the character rather well
though one would question whether Andy would not possibly be in an
institution rather than a military school, and wouldn't he have some serious
mental issues? There are quite a few plot holes in the story and some very
bad scripting in parts but as sequels go ‘Child's Play 3' is about average
for a third sequel to an average movie and will probably entertain the
Chucky fans at least once. Don Mancini once again wrote the screen play for
the movie though this time Jack Bender took the directors chair and didn't
really improve on the direction from John Lafia in the second. Tom Holland's
direction in the original film was probably what made ‘Child's Play' such
a viable franchise and though these future instalments gave the fans what
they wanted (more screen time for Chucky, more blood, more victims) they
also failed to add any interesting twists. A film centered on a killer doll
is bound to be rather bland but more should have been done to make the film
more entertaining, adding a new `victim' just was not enough. Like with the
previous two movies there were a lot of seemingly pointless or
over-suspended scenes which made the movie drag rather than be entertaining.
The acting was pretty poor from most of the cast except Justin Whalin,
though Travis Fine did a half-decent job of playing the loathsome Lt.
Shelton and Perrey Reeves was quite likeable (in a similar way to the
character of Kyle in the second) as Andy's romantic interest De Silva.
If you are a fan of the previous two films then I'd recommend this for at
least one viewing, it is slightly better than the second movie but still not
on par with the original. Anyone who disliked the original movie should
probably avoid this. My rating for ‘Child's Play 3' – 5.5/10. |

(Reviewed by Honorius) - I love chucky series and actually
chucky is my favorite "serial killer" if u exclude Jason. I
remember the impact this doll had years ago when I first watched child's
play, I just couldn't believed what was happening, it was all shocking for
me (watching.... a killer doll). |
Chucky is actually the notorious strangler from Boston
Charles Lee Ray who transferred his soul before he dies in to a good guy doll
in 1988. 3 years later chucky returned in part 3 searching for little Andy
(who bought the doll 3 years ago) to get to his body and get rid of the doll's
body but now Andy serves in a military school so chucky goes to the school to
find Andy and the movie begins...
If you liked parts 1 and 2 U will love part 3. At least I
loved it more than parts 1 and 2. It had more laughs good plot story and great
death scenes.
Unfortunately this flick failed in the box office ($15
millions domestically) because it was released just 10 months after the
release of child's play part 2 ($28 millions domestically).
I give 5 out of 5 stars
