Review of Candyman (2021) by Equation — 29 Aug 2021

Having come back home from the cinema, all I can say is I'm disappointed... This film was slow, didn't really have much to say about itself apart from the good old "white person is bad" (cheers Jordan Peale, you seem to love this ehh) - This seemed to have no direction, I can see how it's been linked with the first films through the backstory that is shown, I liked that part but wow, was this film boring! I was sat waiting for the tension to build up but it never got there.

I was excited to see Tony Todd reappear again as I knew he would be in it but he just makes an appearance in the last 20 seconds of the film (maybe CGI) as if to show that a sequel would be coming. The ending is so unsatisfying, no conclusion to tie up this one film but just a hint that there will be another film to conclude.

I've never been this disappointed with a cinema trip in a long time.
