I liked it more than I thought of, I loved the original. And while this movie tries to mirror it, it also tries to add a unique spin on the premise, it certainly plays up the more cheesy aspects of the original and turns it more into light hearted horror, the original was only ever scary to me when I was young because I was young, growing up I realised how over the top and silly it is and this movie pretty much follows that formula.
Now while I do like the movie it isn't without it's issues, the origin of this versions Chucky just feels lazy, and there are many questionable actions that raise to many questions on how they happened to begin with. The plot seems very sporadic in places, and at times the movie kind of feels like it wanted to be a hint of... Stranger Things?
The movie also doesn't do anything new outside of a few changes here and there. In fact its just downright dull at times and I find myself not really caring about the cast. Aubrey Plaza feels out of place in here and everyone just seems to be acting their way towards a pay check.
I do think this movies tries to be new and fresh but its just either missing the point or trying to hard.
