I love everything about this movie. The acting is compelling and I love the darker tone of the film. Chucky doesn't play around (no pun intended) on this one, he is focused on his target and kills anyone who stands in his way. You must admit that the death sequences are both creative and original. I also like how they incorporated the psychological side of horror, Andy was now all grown up but he was still battling his demons before Chucky even showed up. It works really well how they made Chucky torture Andy, he could have easily killed him early on but he forces Andy to suffer by watching him kill everyone and attempt to possess a new child. He's really brutal in this one! As usual, Brad Dourif is fabulous and delivers some of Chucky's most iconic lines, which adds a little humor and gives way to the next two installments. All in all, a classic horror flick that easily surpassed its two predecessors. I haven't seen Cult of Chucky yet, but as of right now this is my favorite installment, and definitely a stronger edition in the series.

The not-so-innocent movie about a child's doll continues with Andy Barkley (Justin Whalin), now a teenager, enrolling into military school. The authorities and corporate officials discount Andy's story about Chucky the killer doll as fantasy and re-markets the doll in stores. Soon, Chucky comes back to life and sneaks into the school to take revenge on Andy and seek a new body.The plot's pacing, script, and music score work fine in this movie, with some suspense, thrills and creepy moments. The acting was pretty good for the most part - especially enjoyed the characters of Andy and De Silva, the tough but sympathetic female cadet. Some of the military characters were a little overbearing and the lead kid character was a little mediocre I thought.Whalin portrayed Andy with determination and endurance in braving through the grueling military obstacles and in going against Chucky. Brad Dourif gave another sinister, dark, and sarcastically funny portrayal of Chucky.The overall plot may seam quite entertaining, but almost predictable now by the third entry. Still, a quite good horror sequel for a few scares.Grade B

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​

This faceless second sequel to the original 1988 hit is a film that's been neglected by fans and critics alike, by and large. It didn't help that an (undeserved) fuss was kicked up over its links with the Jamie Bolger murder case when it was released on VHS here in the UK; a factor that saw it banned for a decade before finally making its way onto late-night telly. CHILD'S PLAY 3 is an undistinguished horror sequel; nothing more or less than a B-movie, but I still liked it better than CHILD'S PLAY 2. It doesn't seem like a rehash this time; it changes setting to a soldier cadet school and the resulting shenanigans are at least entertaining here.A good design was made in setting this one 8 years down the line; annoying child actor Alex Vincent is gone, to be replaced by annoying teenager Justin Whalin. Still, there are some good supporting roles for the likes of HELLRAISER's Andrew Robinson as a crazy military hairdresser and Travis Fine as a jock/bully type. Perrey Reeves makes for a feisty female sidekick while Jeremy Sylvers as the token child actor is far more appealing than his predecessor; it also goes without saying that Brad Dourif, returning as Chucky, puts in another hilarious voice performance.There's more plotting here than before, but it doesn't get in the way of some cheesy murders. Fun's to be had when a paintball game turns deadly, while Chucky's denouement in a ghost train ride is mildly entertaining in its own way, although unbelievable as health and safety would have shut this fairground down long ago, what with its grim reapers wielding real scythes and massive open fan blades spinning on the floor next to the trains. CHILD'S PLAY 3 is far from a good film, but at least it isn't boring – something I can't say for the mind-numbing part two, a film I've forgotten about just one day after I saw it.
