That was dreadfully slow with almost zero teeth to it. Very dry experience and wouldn't recommend it. And to top it all off it ends without telling you much of anything about what any of it meant. Just a bunch of symbolism that really doesn't have much meaning. The final scene was just f*ckin weird.
Well if the Hoop search function would work as intended I could share my review to pep up the gumbo... All I can remember specifically about my review is that I loved it.
I think I liked the original better because the premise of a serial killer doll trying to possess a young boy felt different. There’s been plenty of AI gone rogue movies out there, though I will say I thought Mark Hamill did a good job as the voice (but don’t think I’d prefer anyone over Brad Douriff to be honest).
The original will always hold a special place, and I wouldn't even want to compare the 2 because both are good for different reasons, and especially so in regards to the different eras they were produced. Different enough to make them special in their own ways & unique enough to consider them as 2 separate movies. But I get it. Reboots are inherently going to come with the comparison.
I’ve certainly seen worse reboots, that’s for sure (NOES, though I don’t blame Jackie Earle Haley for that disaster). But at least I’ll give this one credit: I didn’t really hate any of the characters that I was supposed to like. But I’m interested in the tv show with the Brad Douriff Chucky, to see if they stay true to the series (not so much the ones that were pure comedy) like Ash vs Evil Dead did.
