I just saw it last night and it was SO good. Treated with respect to the franchise and it was great how focused it was on Sidney and her daughter. So many nods to the older movies. Loved it!!!

I can't wait to watch it. Had plans to do it this weekend, but fell down and injured my leg (nothing serious). Thankfully got a refund. So it's going to be next week for sure.

THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD! DO NOT READ IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH!

Things I liked:

Seeing Sidney and Neve Campbell at her kick ass best again. Also, I thought it was refreshing Gail took a break from being put through the wringer. She got to take it easy with this one and she still had some of the best moments, both comedic and human. Mason Gooding/Chad is always a sight for sore eyes and surprisingly for me, this was the first time I genuinely enjoyed Mindy. I remember desperately wanting her to die in Scream 5, but becoming Gail's protégé was a genius move. Her and Chad were highlights, all the way to the end credits. The only new character that was remotely interesting was Mckenna Grace's Hannah, easily habing the best kill sequence of the film. The use of A.I. was smart and nostalgic in how he got to see some people from the past. Lastly, though for continuity sake it was a shame Mark had to be recast, I thought Joel McHale served the role as well as could be expected.

Things I didn't care for:

I have to wonder if they asked Rose McGowan to return as an A.I. version of Tatum 1.0, because with her being heavily referenced, it kind of served as a downer that she didn't.

Most of the new characters weren't characters at all and were extremely forgettable. Sidney's daughter Tatum was an unlikable brat throughout. The Ghostface reveal was the worst one of the franchise. You couldn't have chosen a more halphazard, random, and ridiculous motive that lead itself to a convoluted exposition dump that didn't even fully make sense. Marco's motive basically being ... nothing, other than some weird submissive relationship to Jessica. It was just eye-roll worthy. Not to mention, the writing racing over the fact that Jessica had her own son killed just added to the ridiculous, long-winded drivel of a motive she had even if Anna Camp did her best to sell it. If I had to rank this Scream against the others, it's pretty easily at the bottom of the pack for me.

Me and my husband just came back from the cinema! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT. I loved that it didn't take anything too seriously. And Neve was just... AH... SUBLIME.

I just saw it for the second time and I really loved it. I'd say this is in my top three. It wasn't perfect but for the first Sidney movie in so long, they did a great job of establishing who she is now and gave her a memorable family unit. This was nostalgic but also felt like it moved the story forward.

I won't go into too many details because it's so fresh and spoilers but they definitely did a good job. Kevin Williamson's direction was excellent and you can tell her learned from Wes. He can craft a sequence like no other and all of the action set pieces felt unique and suspenseful. I feel like so many modern slashers (like most tv and film) just jumps to the point without remembering that the build-up and suspense is what really makes things scary. Coupled with his tv work, he was able to develop interesting characters and relationships.

Don't listen to the fake reviews, definitely see for yourself!

YES. YES. YES. THIS.

It's definitely in my top 3 too. Together with 1 and 4.

LOVED IT SO MUCH... I may drag my husband to see it a second time.

I wouldn't say the reviews are "fake" - because while I liked it, if I had to review it there would be so many issues.

At the same time - it's such a fan-pleaser of a movie that I like it. I'm happy to see how successful it's been - with that said, I hope this is a set up for Scream 8.

Because with how many survivors we have at this point, we're bound to get a movie that clears off the slate.

Oh there's definitely review bombing, but the people I know who watched the movie said it was pretty good.

We saw the first movie today... the classic Scream. Will watch the others through the week and then go for the 7th again in the cinema. I think he hasn't watched 2-4, so I'm excited for him. 4 is one of my favorites. 2 is great too.

Scream 7 is now officially the highest grossing movie of the entire franchise.

And now over $212M worldwide! So happy to see that because it should mean more Scream movies + Neve.
