Empire
No award winner, but at least it delivers the rubbishy goods. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
Director Jack Bender films all this with enough style that Child's Play 3 never becomes overly boring or tedious, and there's some nicely timed tension and comic bits scattered throughout. - 40
Variety
Noisy, mindless sequel. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Mancini's script, here as before, never rises above simple sadistic button-pushing. [30 Aug 1991, p.F13] - 30
Austin Chronicle
Director Bender has fashioned a film without any surprises, though after the first two films, anyone would be hard-pressed to make audience members jump. - 30
The New York Times
Child's Play 3, directed by Jack Bender, misses the sharpness and dark humor that the director and co-writer Tom Holland brought to the original. - 25
Washington Post
Child's Play 3 is further proof of the principle of diminishing sequels: The original was actually quite good, the follow-up was lame and now what is hopefully the capper is DOA. - 25
Miami Herald
Though this sequel is not nearly as violent as Child's Play 2, it's every bit as vulgar and preposterous, funny despite itself and vicious, too. It is, in short, of interest only to those too young to see it. [31 Aug 1991, p.E4]
