An average movie

Not so long ago, I saw the 4th installment of this franchise. I had some rather low expectations but I heard here and there that it was actually pretty good so I thought I should give it a try. Eventually, I thought it was terribly disappointing and, in my opinion, it was really not worth re-launching this franchise 10 years later. Personally, I really loved the first installment, it is a genuine classic, but all the sequels were disappointing. The point is that the ideas developed in ‘Scream’ were quite intriguing but there was no way it would work with some sequels. The first issue was to let the main cast survive all along. It kills a lot of the momentum. Then, you have the twist(s) which was pretty cool the first time around but those became really predictable and above all really ridiculous. This 3rd installment has the worst reputation but, personally, I think it was actually a slight improvement on the 2nd movie which was, in my opinion, really abysmal. At least, this time, there were some cameos by the awesome Jay and Silent Bob (on the other hand, to have them show how serious the whole thing was). To conclude, even though it wasn’t a total disaster, it remains a rather average horror flick and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
