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

This was an incredible film, and quite possible the best film I've ever seen in my life. I've never felt so speechless in a theater before. Those writing negative reviews are likely only doing so because they disagree with the "political" themes of the movie, which is absurd.

Themes aside, this movie is incredibly well shot, incredibly well written, and simply a masterpiece of art. The way it masterfully ties in modern real world issues, just like how the original film did, was fantastic.

I did not expect the movie to be this good. Hats off to everyone who was apart of making this movie. Bravo. Probably the most powerful film I've ever seen. The negative reviews are either missing the point completely and judging this as if it was supposed to be some kind of run-of-the-mill horror film and it wasn't "scary enough", or they are "blue lives matter" type people who were offended by it.

I urge anyone who hasn't watched it to ignore reviews and watch it for themselves. How anyone could give such a masterfully crafted film a 0/10 is astonishing. It almost further drives home the movie's message.

Again, bravo to the creators of this film.
