This isn't Chcuky at all,Mark Hamil is perfect but the film is lazy

Likes: Growing up on the Original Child's play films, that gave birth to the Rubber serial killer doll Chucky I was skeptical about this reboot. Apoun viewing the trailer I was really unsure, after watching the film in full I have a serious issue with this film because it is absolutely flawed.

Not that the film has a little bit of entertainment and the acting is pretty solid, Mark Hamil's voice for Chucky actually gives a creepy tone to the doll which is perfect, There were moments in the first half of the film I found funny because the doll was doing some funny and weird things that were hilarious, As horror fans we are getting a few killed that was pretty twisted and inventive, But sadly the film as whole Lets down the hard work that been put into this film that I have to be brutally honest.

If you never have seen the original Chucky films, this film might appeal to you, but the original fans of the original Chucky movie will hate this film

Dislikes: Let me make this perfectly clear this wasn't Chucky, not by a long shot, not where near the concept of Chucky. which make me wonder if the director or writers ever watched the original childsplay movie.

I understand they its a reboot and they need to do something Different But changing the concept from a spirit to an AI just 100% killed the film, not only from making a sequel, it just made chuck unrealistic with no personality.

See the original film was given a personality because it wasn't just a Toy, it had an evil twisted human spirit control the body of the toy which gave chucky a personality and a reason to kill, Here with this film is just copying what other people were saying and it has no motive other than an AI to kill it just feels very lazy writing.

Which is a shame because you have a legend Mark Hamil who has the voice for this film, you could've had him playing a twisted Serial killer in the film almost like the original, with a slight change, with Mark Hamil becoming the Doll, this would have been so much better for the film because his voice is perfect.

Im sorry but that third act of the film was god awful, no shop would sell toys like that, that would have Sharp edges to do what they did, again what was the writer thinking here, very poor and weak storyline that completely kills Any sequel being done

Overall: Blend horror film that could've been done so much better, it like Hollywood has no imagination anymore.
