I actually loved this movie and thought it was the best since the OG. I liked most of the cast and to me they fit better as the young next generation type than the cast of Scream 4 which just kinda felt forced. I agree but kinda disagree on the Sam character as I liked her but also think Jenny Ortega's a better actor and wouldn't mind her character being the lead going forward. Dewey had a great arc and when his music hit
Also I just recently watched all the movies and my ranking is:
Scream
Scream 2022
Scream 3
Scream 4
Scream 2
Don't know how nikkas can say the ending of Scream 3 was bad but defend the nonsense that went on at the end of Scream 2
Billy Loomis mother was behind it all
And that goofy ass "fight" scene on the stage
To me Dewey and Gale carry the hell outta that movie and every scene with Randy. Not a terrible movie but I don't rewatch it on purpose. Scream 3's kills are weak but I actually like the story tbh
Parker Posey they best non-OG character in any of the sequels too.
I can't wait for the next Scream movie tho. The dudes who did this one hit it out the park and made a movie I think Wes would have been proud of.
