Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Mar 28 While it has the solid performances (including the late great Tony Todd stealing the show) the movie strips the simplicity of the original Candyman for an very Unnecessary backstory and some ropey effects See more Justin T @RT08580778 Jan 21 The acting is weaker than the previous but not by a lot. It has a similar vibe and tone but far less engaging, partially due to so many badly done jump scares. There is more violence and I like it. The writing is worse and the story is very similar but I do appreciate that they extended the lore. There was so much flashing in the finale it was hard to tell what was going on. The ending was disappointing and stereotypical. For all the negatives I do really love the filmmaking, it’s the timeless nineties style, not the dated nineties style. Overall good ambitions but not as good as the original.

But the results are typical...it's pretty bad. The editing and pacing aren't good here. The plot is investigating a father's murder than becomes tied into the origins of Candyman with another child who wants to be saved and the brother getting off and a mirror...My reaction was literally what the heck are you talking about. The whole plot is so convuluted, farfetched, and stupid. It doesn't know if it wants to repeat the first at times or be a origin story to Candyman or something else entirely and the results are what you'd expect with that kind unfocus. It's very jumpy at times and a feeling of deja vu when it isn't. A lot of it is just the same stuff and structure of the first at times and than it slowly just gets boring. Than add in all the farfetched stuff as well. Like how do the cops think Annie killed the dude by throwing him through a metal wall with bees and the security tape footage of her brother. Nobody was watching when it happened? Come on. The music is alright but it's just the same main theme of the first and it's overused constantly here. The overuse is what really makes it drag on the ears after a while despite being good. Everything else is subpar. The kills all are very simliar gory stuff and very simliar to the first. Some scenes again just are so farfetched and some make no sense. Actually now that I think about it the acting is alright enough I guess. Her boyfriend is annoying, Annie is super forgettable along with most of the supporting cast, and Tony Todd isn't bad here but he isn't given as much to work with here as the first. The most interesting stuff is the Candyman origin scene and exploring some of his bacground and birth but it's so sparse and goes nowhere. Skip This. Can't really say I'm suprised with the end product here. It's what you'd expect. See more Korra N @RT88131552 06/27/2025 Neither bad nor great, this sequel to one of the greatest horror films ever made is serviceable & entertaining, with Tony Todd commanding the screen with pure star power. See more Adam B @RT24257230 03/22/2025 In a movie driven by genuinely likable characters, the sequel to the first Candyman represents a talented writer completely buried under a studio wishing for a rehash. Well it is just that, a rehash, it's slight variations and shockingly great characters make this movie worth a watch if you enjoy the original, though you definitely won't get as much from this. Still, the setting change is a neat touch. See more Read all reviews
