By anybody's measure, the long awaited return of the groundbreaking Scream franchise was a complete bust. Wes Craven's baby failed to bust $100M worldwide, but even worse there was no attempt to push the horror envelope. We're talking about the defining horror series of the last twenty years and what we got was...eh, just another movie. That, and the returning cast including Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox may be enough for hardcore Scream fans, but everybody else may leave a little disappointed.
Poor Paul Walker. At one point he could stand side-by-side with muscle bound co-star Vin Diesel and feel like a similar force of nature. Now with the addition of Dwayne Johnson into the fold, Walker is reduced back to the pretty boy we always knew he was. Fortunately for him, the Fast and the Furious franchise is more alive and action packed than ever. Fast Five was the highest grossing and arguably best film in the series yet, promising many more opportunities for Walker to get in with the cool kids again.
