 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here? So I just got out of seeing the new child's play remake from MGM Childsplayers directed by Lars Klevberg written by Tyler Burton Smith Of course, we know this is a remake the dreaded remake to some of you that we are getting of the original 1988 classic horror film child's play which gave birth to one of the best horror icons Or one of the most well-recognized horror icons in the pint size killer doll Chuckie Who at the time of that film was possessed by a killer named Charles Lee Ray? This new modern film does not involve any of that. It's it's in our time in this era So we're in the age of technology and stuff. So it's drawing. It's trying to draw fear from that Off the bat, I'm gonna say that this is not a bad Definitely nowhere near bad It's well-acted well-directed. I Think that the character development could have been a bit better in as far as like the group of kids that we see Andy get involved with our main cast Consist of Aubrey Plaza Gabriel Bader Gabriel Baderman, Brian C. Henry and Mark Hamill of course as the voice of Chuckie and the score in this movie is done by Bear McCreary the reason why I'm making mention of that gentleman's name is because the score in this movie really helps it out a lot I think this is a phenomenal score and something that's very fitting for a Chuckie or child's play type of movie But yeah, let's just get into what the good stuff is about this movie the direction that they chose to take here and not Making this a possessed killer doll Thing all over I think that's that's a real refreshing because I wasn't I really wasn't looking forward to the remake Then I saw that it wasn't gonna be Diving into Charlie Reagan. I'm like, okay. Well now now I'm gonna see what they're gonna do here So, yeah, we're dealing with technology This doll the buddy doll no longer good guy repackages buddy doll it can control Kasselin products, which is the company that created the doll Kasselin has a whole variety of products similar how companies today like ring and nest hey They have a bunch of products like they have thermostats doorbells all type of security stuff that this doll can control What ends up happening, of course, you all know from the original the dog was haywire instead of being possessed It goes haywire because it's artificially intelligent and we find out what happened to the doll along the way Well, I'm not gonna get into that but the voice Mark Hamill's Voice acting in this movie as the doll. I think he does an amazing job of making you feel very terrified And also giving you that sense of dread But then also reverting right back to that innocence of the doll. I think he does an amazing I think they picked the perfect person to replace Brad Dorff He doesn't do as good as Brad Dorff. I would say but from what we're seeing here Mark Hamill if they're gonna make more make more entries in this what I which I don't think they are because I don't think They have the right to do that But Mark Hamill definitely is a good choice to keep playing Chucky if they want to do more with it Uh Aubrey Plaza she so I haven't seen a movie from her in quite a while I never really thought she was a bad actress and then here she really I really feel for her because like the family's just getting out of a Real they find out why they moved here She's been through stuff and we see that how that's affecting her character throughout the movie the way she acts and the way She acts towards Andy we find out some stuff that Kind of makes sense out of it cuz she's not really acting like a parent in the movie find out why During a little instance. She has what a co-worker of hers. We find out something about her in the time. She had Andy But yeah, Aubrey Plaza, I think she gave a very heartwarming performance Very believable and the kid the child actors in this will be including the Kid actor who played Andy Gabriel Bateman. He was he was phenomenal as well. He was very believable. I Don't I didn't really necessarily like the character of Andy here I I feel like because the characters too old that was my gripe the character was too old And I'm glad they kind of they make they make mention of that And I think that's one of the one of the other pros about this movie It's kind of messing around with the self and taking poking fun at its own self And I always appreciate when the movie does that Character of Andy way too old in my opinion for me to even care about him the same way I did with The original Andy, but good character well written well acted very believable. I felt for him The guy who played detective Mike Brian Brian Tyree Henry He was great not necessarily better than the other two, but for what it was I think his character is very forgettable. Like I said, some of the characters they feel underdeveloped That's just one of the one of the cons I think with the movie the characters feel they underdeveloped the kills in here are very gruesome Chucky is back to being his old ways with this new cut of course with this new take on Chucky We get some kills surprise some of the most gruesome kills. We will get in the franchise From from this franchise and as a whole including what Donna Mancini has done the kills in here are great acting is great the score is great the story like I said I Feel like The story was fine. I didn't really catch too many plot holes I might catch some more when I go back and rewatch it as a whole overall. I really enjoyed this movie I think it's very well done. The direction is good the production value of course looks phenomenal I really like the way things are shot really things are put together The only real problem here is the fact that you're only gonna have a problem with this movie If you're trying to constantly compare it to the original honestly There is some comedy in here that I think is very it feels out of place But it's never it never gets to the point where it's over the top It's never to the point where it's over the top and when you're in those moments of dread It feels very you feel very fearful of for these characters because of the fact that they're dealing with products that we all Or accustomed to and I think that's one of the big selling points and why this movie is gonna draw a lot of people Why it can be like the new Chucky of for this generation because everything is today we're Involved smart devices thermostats lights everything voice assistants. I think that's the direction that they took with Chucky and this new take is very Gonna be very beneficial if they want to keep going with this franchise like again like I said before I don't think they can I don't think they will I'm not really interested in seeing the Chucky. That's just like this at all really but for what it was This was not a bad movie at all whatsoever I'm not gonna really say I liked it not gonna really say I liked it, but I have no problem watching it definitely Not something I would go back and rewatch over and over and over for what I saw here This was not a bad movie whatsoever None whatsoever Maybe a little bit of an inflated rating for me, but I'm gonna give it a seven out of ten Maybe I might drop it down who knows but for right now I'm gonna give it a seven out of ten definitely go check out the new child's play remake It is worth seeing if you want to see a different take on Chucky If you guys enjoyed this video or if you have seen child's play Let me know what you guys thought of it down in the comment section below if you haven't already subscribed to channel post notifications So you never miss a video in the description I'll have links from my social media account on my Facebook Twitter Instagram And all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
