5/5. Love it.
This is better than the second one and as good as the first one.
I love everything about it. It's funny, it's gory and it still has scary elements.
This is gthe movie where we see Chuckie being very funny and get still scary.
It has a large body-count, a very good story and a very brutal moment.
Also, the end sequence is fantastic and Chuckie's demise is the best yet.
Keep 'em coming.

“Child’s Play 3: Look Who’s Stalking” is one of the best entries in the series.
**SPOILERS**
After the remains of Chucky (Brad Dourif) are recovered from the factory after the end of part two, he is reanimated into a new form. After murdering the head of the company, (Peter Haskell) he finds the new location of Andy Barclay, (Justin Whalin) and searches for a way to get there. Meanwhile, Andy is a new recruit at Kent Military School, where the head, Cadet Lt.. Col. Brad C. Shelton (Travis Fine) makes his life really uneasy. Despite making friends with the school's rebel, De Silva, (Perrey Reeves) and reject, Whitehurst, (Dean Jacobson) Shelton still wrecks havoc in his life. Once Chucky finds his newest target, (Jeremy Sylvers) Andy tries to stop him. However, once Chucky finds that it is more fun to simply kill everybody at the school, he uses that to his advantage and begins killing everyone on a company retreat, leaving Andy and De Silva to fend for themselves against Chucky. The Good News: In this entry, all the elements from the previous films are present: a fast pace, good blood and gore, tons of cool deaths, and a credible way to have Chucky resurrected. The change of setting to a military academy is a good move. It allows Chucky to use some of his tricks in a place that can accommodate them. The change of place also gives him new weapons to use, which he uses to great advantage in two of the movies greatest parts. The final military game is the best example, where a slight change by Chucky drastically changes the course of events for the better, and the scene is a lot of fun as a result. The second is a very funny scene where Chucky kills a fanatical barber in his chair, which I will not spoil because it is a great scene. In fact, the humor in the film is a bit more apparent here than in any previous installment. I think it is for the better, as Chucky unloads a few good one-liners. There aren't at the level of the classics in "Bride of Chucky," but a few of them are really up there. I did laugh at a few of the jokes and scenes, and the lighter tone works. The harshness of a military academy is greatly offset by the jovial atmosphere Chucky exudes, even though it has a few genuine jumps. The main one is pretty early, when Chucky's box is taken to a storage facility, a young kid is looking at the box and Chucky explodes out of the box, roaring. The second great scare is a memorable one, if only because it caused a character to have a heart attack on screen. A pretty bloodless kill, but it looks great on screen.
The Bad News: The main thing that I think most people hate about the film is that Chucky starts to become a comedian more than a slasher. I don't mind, since most of the jokes are pretty funny, but that may turn off a few people. A lot of people mainly like the first one because it isn't all that funny, while the second one is considered to be merely OK, but this one is hated more than the others because it has a pretty good sense of humor and most true fans don't get that. Other than that one reason, I really don't have any complaints.
The Final Verdict: a minor complaint is all I have against the movie. It is a total cheese movie, but it's entertaining cheese. Horror-comedy fans will like this one, as Chucky has a few good lines and a lot of mediocre ones that can still be funny in the right frame of mind. There is a bit of bloodshed and some good kills as well, so give it a chance. It is better than it's reputation.

I gave it a 2.
Though the acting is much better (a weakness in part 2), the film itself is less scary and psychologically unsettling (which was a strength in part 2).
The concept of the film is novel - troubled teen in military school, so the people who torture him will be targets of Chucky. Chucky is now almost like a tool of the revenge Andy could never actualize with his own hands. But they ruin it by making Andy such a "goody two-shoes." As is the black kid, by the way. Everyone in this movie is of crystal-clean moral quality. Except for the military leaders. So... wouldn't it be nice if Chucky would kill them one by one leading to Andy having strange feelings of: "they sort of deserved it"? No, instead its played for stupid laughs and cheap cliches. Why even kill the garbage man? What did he do to Andy?
Anyway, this movie is unsatisfying on every level. Except that the acting is better and you could seriously watch the movie and pretend some of the story angles are as provocative as what's going on in your mind.
Apart from that, this is an amazingly frustrating movie.
