elvisthealienAug 30, 2021big ups to Nia DaCosta for making me feel represented on screen!! (character who invites a hot artist to their house to listen to Fetch The Bolt Cutters and tell them their art is "actually soooo good")

Buddy OAug 24, 2021CANDYMAN was a mixed bag of sweets and sours for me. Enjoyed Nia DaCosta’s haunting atmosphere, striking camerawork, the dark score & powerfully disturbing themes. But the economically rushed storytelling resulted in dull characters, a disjointed narrative & a messy…

Amazing take on a classic urban legend. I guess quite a bit of people did not like the ending, but I thought it was fitting.

Sabrina Bondi likedCandymanWith its shadow puppetry, sophisticated reclamation of the Candyman legend and slick, confident filmmaking, even for those not thrilled by the idea of horror cinema more generally, it is hard to deny that Candyman is a massive and exciting step forward.
- Santana Beltran is "meh" onCandyman
Seems like the writers had a lot of great ideas - but none of those great ideas are given enough time to be explored when you only have 90 minutes to work with.
Emma is "meh" onCandymanI don’t remember much but I remember not understanding most of the movie might rewatch 🤷♀️

Valak likedCandymanIf you like movies with very understandable hidden meanings then this movie is for you!! What a amazing story about racial injustice, the shots and the artistic aspects about this film just make it beautiful, if the story didn’t blow you away I don’t know what will.
usopp likedCandymanEntertaining and suspenseful, good but not great. Solid modern take on the story that makes it fit appropriately in today’s social landscape.

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…
DJDaarius JackmanI 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!
RWRyan WilsonReally 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.
SCSteven ConnerWoke trash.
