The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Chucky returns for revenge against Andy, the young boy who defeated him and who has since become a teenager. Child's Play 3 literally makes no sense to me i mean why in the hell would you put Chucky spreading "fear" inside a Military School? Child's Play and Child's Play 2 were far from being masterpieces of themselves but at least made half of a sense you know? This one except some cool special effects like the previous entries offers nothing new to the story and keeps doing the same mistakes of the previous 2 entries as well. (2.0/10)

Ending the trilogy of Chcuky we have this third part that definitely does not work. The production of the film is very mediocre, the visual effects in animatronics are quite rough compared to the other two films, the direction of art and photography do not impress in any moment. Writer Dom Mancini says that because of studio pressure he had to write the script in a hurry to get it released just nine months after the second film. This only proves the lack of creativity in the story. The biggest problem of the film is the fact that it can not interest in any moment, besides the film being a bummer. The script is a complete abomination and the performances, besides being completely exaggerated, generate laughter in situations that were to be tense. If there is anything that works in this film it is Brad Dourif's voice work, which is really exceptional. Other than that, it's a boring and uninteresting movie.

This is probably done in rush because​ there is no thought gone into the plot.Set eight years after Child's play 2 is 16 year old Andy Barclay played by Justin Whalen who does resemble Alex Vincent very well. Chucky soon tracks him down but finds a black kid Tyler (Sylvers) and now he becomes a target to the mythical creature that is told about.It is an okayish sequel but here you have Chucky running after​ one blooming child when they are dozen other children at the military to tell that big secret. Go figure! It is still watchable because of Chucky and legend Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky​

Whelp! At least they tried... I guess.Yeah, unfortunately after a pretty stellar original and an uncommonly strong first follow-up, the "Child's Play" series started it's third go-around with not so much as a skip-and-a-hop... but more of a stumble and splat. Suffering a wildly rushed production period and an admittedly strained and stressed series creator forced to lop together a script in record-time, "Child's Play 3" is one of those sequels that just never quite comes together and never really seems to know where it's going. It tries to be a decent sequel... I will give it credit there. But it's trying despite the fact there's just no energy or motivation to support its attempts at delivering a satisfying follow-up.We begin a handful of years after the climactic and apocalyptic finale of "Child's Play 2", as the Good Guys doll factory is re- opened and Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) is inadvertently brought back to life. Once again seeking to swap his soul into nemesis Andy Barklay (now played by Justin Whalin), Chucky follows him to his new home in a Military Academy. However, realizing that his new body will allow him to bend the rules of his voodoo curse and find a new human subject to take hold of, Chucky sets his sights on Tyler (Jeremy Sylvers), who has befriended Andy. And so, Andy must try and protect his young friend with the help of the beautiful Kristin (Perrey Reeves) and his other new friend Harold Whitehurst. (Dean Jacobson)Series creator Don Mancini once again writes the script, and he has been pretty candid on the failings of the film. Universal, knowing the cash-cow that the franchise had the potential to be, pushed Mancini and the other creative minds behind the series to turn around and creature a third film in a pretty unheard-of amount of time- just nine months after the last outing. And of course this studio-logic backfired on a grand scale, as the film seems far more scattershot and unfocused as a result of such a rushed production. It introduces new ideas and a few fun high-concept set-pieces... but fails to utilize or even properly establish them much of the time. It throws in some really fascinating scenes of humor and horror that function well enough on their own... but never quite come together as a cohesive story on the whole. And it brings up a lot of fun, archetypal characters... but never quite allows you to connect with them beyond a few short scenes here and there. While I do think that Mancini did an admirable job with the amount of time he had, you just can't help but notice how much it doesn't work.Though to be fair, I must give credit where it is due. And a big part of what does work is thanks to the cast. Whalin makes for a compelling replacement as Barklay, now older and suffering the tragic effects of his childhood traumas. Whalin actually feels quite organic in the role, even if he isn't the world's greatest actor, and you could definitely see the child from the first two growing up into him. Dourif as always is a joy to behold in what has now become perhaps his most iconic role. I really appreciated that they give him a bit more range here to stretch his chops thanks to a handful of genuinely comedic moments. Sylvers makes for a very fun and fairly compelling child-actor, and he's probably the best in the entire series, making Tyler endlessly likable even when he can occasionally come across as a bit bratty like most kids. Perrey Reeves is absolutely adorable as Andy's new love-interest and also comes across as more than just a damsel in distress- something the series has been quite good at avoiding through most of it's thus-far six chapters. And even for his limited time, Dean Jacobson is a lot of fun as Andy's sort-of new best friend who gets dragged along for the ride.I also must give credit for director Jack Bender's solid visual choices. Now known mostly for his work on popular TV-franchises such as "Lost" and "Game of Thrones", Bender has a keen visual eye and really lends his talents to making the few strong and stand-out scenes work. Particularly admirable is the wickedly entertaining climax taking place in a nearby carnival. While it never quite reaches the depraved brilliance of part two's doll-factory finale, this film nonetheless crafts a fiendish and wicked setting for the final showdown.Still, it all comes back to that rushed production and rushed script. Strong performances and solid sequences are key... but when they just don't come together, it doesn't matter. Say what you will about other entries in the franchise, to me, this is probably the "Child's Play" series at its weakest. For all the fan complaints about it, even "Seed of Chucky" was at least a far more ambitious and cohesive experience. "Child's Play 3"? It's just a dull repetition of what came before.Perhaps appropriate in some perverse way, I give "Child's Play 3" a sub-par 3 out of 10. At least the previous sequel and it's self- aware follow-up in "Bride of Chucky" more than make up for its failings.
