Spoilers
I loved Get Out, and enjoyed Us, even though it left me with many questions. I'm a fan of the original Candyman, so I was excited about seeing this movie. It started out good, but then it went downhill. Too much boring talk, no suspense, and I didn't care about any of the characters, except for the brother. Then it leaves you at the end with, "Huh?" I loved seeing Tony Todd's beautiful face, but why was he resurrected, and not Yahya's character?
I gave it three stars because I got to see Tony Todd. I liked the fact Anthony was the baby from the original, and Vanessa Williams reprised her role. I would have loved more of a story surrounding Anthony being the baby, and less about his bee sting infecting his body. More of Vanessa's character would have been great too.
The original made you terrified when Candyman appeared in the movie, however, in this one I yawned. I am hoping for another movie with Tony Todd as Candyman.
