Scary Movie 3 - Save The Best For Last

I've never really liked the Scary Movies, but at least I can say for myself - this is the best one of them. After all I don't understand the success of this movie. It's mostly just about lame jokes. The part in which they imitated 8 Mile took way too long. It's interesting to watch it in the actual 8 Mile movie, but way too long in Scary Movie 3. I also may be wrong, but I thought at the end of the Eminem part that white KKK-looking hat was quite some racist element they used to get through with a joke. Though I liked the scene in which they imitated the The Ring videotape and turned the ring into the hole of a toilet etc. It looked pretty funny, and once I really understood why the people felt disgusted about The Ring. LOL, I also liked the part when Queen Latifah pulled the woman in The Ring video out of the TV-screen to beat the shit out of her. Funny ideas, even though they weren't really surprising. The scene about Michael Jackson didn't seem all that bad as I'd expected it to be. At the very end of the movie the outcome is that the MJ-guy is not really MJ anyway, but just an alien that had been dressed up as MJ and says goodbye then by kicking his leg a last time.

SYNOPSIS from Rotten Tomatoes

The comedy spoof series that knows no fear is at it again with its funniest installment yet: SCARY MOVIE 3. Taking shots at the latest crop of block-busters, SCARY MOVIE 3 irreverently roasts "The Ring," "Signs," "Matrix Reloaded," "Eight Mile," "The Others" and more, as well as pop culture trends such as "American Idol." The film brings director David Zucker back to the genre he helped create with the classics "Airplane!," "Naked Gun," "Naked Gun 2 1/2" and "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult."

    I thought part 1 was funny. Part 2 was only good because it had Kathleen Robertson (of 90210 fame). Part 3 was just plain aweful. I was quite disappointed as it was done by David Zucker, who was a genius with Airplane! and the Naked Guns. Oh and yes I agree, that toilet/ring thing was probably the funniest part.

    Oh trust me though, this isn't "last." SM4 is on the way.

    Ouh... I thought they were promoting it as a trilogy only. Though after the success of 3 I guess they'll be happy to make 4.

    successful trilogies often morph into tetralogies
