Childs Play 3

(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
