Review of Candyman (2021) by Mateuszl — 27 Aug 2021

It's bad, I don't recall when was the last time I was so disappointed in the cinema. I'm super surprised that there is only 1 (one!) negative critic review.

Trailer really set the expectations with the visuals and cool soundtrack. And there are some nice shots and ideas but in general there is no suspense whatsoever and the social commentary is super naive and taking the whole thing to the extreme.

It appears that Candyman(or -men actually) is only killing white people (which are all villains in this movie) and he's actually used as a weapon in some crazy revenge strategy.

There are some cool, creative ideas, like few death scenes, but they are all very poorly executed with wrong pacing and soundtrack.
