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 good way.

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. keep up the good work and strengthen the narrative.

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.

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!

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 keep people of color at the bottom of the barrel. Use your third eye and watch this film very closely.

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

Not just a horror movie. It has gore, killings, and creepy scenes like any other horror movies | it also had a story it wanted us, the viewers, to hear. A story very relevant to today’s struggles.

The plot was hard to follow. I didn’t understand anything going on. Very confusing. The suspense also wasn’t consistent. I felt like I wasted my money on it.

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

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 loved everything about it. The conversations about gentrification, mental health. The fact that the main character is black, and his love interest is also black but not just black, dark skinned. I felt very seen. It was a great film overall, great imagery great storyline. & mysterious enough for me to review the first film which came out around the time I was born. I loved it

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
