This is an excellent (I'm gonna call it a companion) film to the original. There's lots of good visual storytelling that gives me the impression there are layers to this film I didn't pick up this go around. I definitely feel like this needs more than one watch but in a…

I love that every Jordan peele movie inspires great conversations with my friends. Everything from the imagery, to the music choices seems so carefully chosen. I also love that a black man has this opportunity to show off his talent and the talents of other black people.…

For fans of the original who are apprehensive, give it a shot; I know the origins of Candyman might seem off but trust and believe that you’ll recognize things in this new one. It’s fresh, it has a message like the first, it’s good!

Really enjoyed it until the last 10 minutes or so. Not horrible but was confusing and felt a little rushed. Still a solid horror movie and worthy update of the original.

The storyline and subsequent backstory of Candyman was phenomenal. I won't go into details of the movie, but it is a MUST SEE!

This film was powering and uplifting because the slayings committed in this installment had a Black Lives Matter message. Gentrification, and the creation of ghettos were also talked about in this film, so the audience could understand how systemic oppression works to…

Do not Recommend Not horror, not gorey, not scary, not worth it. Saw more deaths on screen watching Hunger Games.

I’d say for the most part it was good but all the racial things involved with the movie overstated it’s welcome so I’d say for a movie it was good but there are issues

Was just ok. Had a decent amount of killing and gore, but that Tony Todd cameo at the end felt out of place or not needed.

MS

Wish it was more of horror and scary but they made the movie more about race.

I wouldn’t pay to see this not worth it

The original is so good that I was expecting good things from this. There is zero lead up to anything, they just jump into it. Besides the whole woke nonsense. Get ready to be told how white people are the enemy for the whole damn film, so disappointing

I love the fact that the original story is incorporated into the story line. I love the cast and Tony at the end is the icing on the cake.

I love the connection the 2021 Candyman had with the original Candyman. The storytelling made you excited to see what comes next. The only problem I had with the movie was the ending. I do believe they rush the ending of the movie.

You must watch the 1992 Candy Man to understand the 2021 version.

For the film to have as many rescheduled dates as it did, it was just ok.

Nia DaCosta, young director of the fine Little Woods, is behind the camera and she shows a real gift for gruesome showboating.

By the end of this new Candyman, little personal investment remains for the audience, just a miasma of provocative thoughts failing to cohere into something greater. The film has enough visual panache to make it an involving watch, but it struggles to live up to the audaciousness of its deeper ideas.

Candyman pays homage to the original, while still maintaining its uniqueness with a fresh and provocative plot
