I hated Scream 4. It felt more like a parody of the other ones then a good sequel.

I didn't
hate it, but I thought at very least after this long a killer with a half decent motivation would have been written in...I mean it was bad enough in the case of the third one which I particularly dislike as well - I mean COME ON...some long lost brother with abandonment issues?
Wouldn't Sidney just have sympathised and agreed "yeah, that was fucked up of our mother...", being at the loss of having never met a brother, knowing he was lied to as well?
You'd at least think that since the killer seemed to show a bit more intelligence and balls than the former killers, handling everything on his own, being right at the scene of a few of the murders and pulling it off, you would think that maybe, he'd at very least consider the situation before deciding to kill her.
As for the killers motivation in the fourth one...complete shit...even worse.
That said I didn't mind it, the whole scream franchise has been taking the piss one way or another so that it came off as a parody is fine by me...in my opinion scream did "scary movie" before Scary Movie did, SM just did it in a way that was "scream for dummies".
But yeah I'd have liked for a half decent plot to be there fourth time around, to lift it from the third one, but, nope, didn't happen.
Personally I haven't really
liked a Scream movie since the second.
