 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we've been talking about Candyman because Candyman has some special screenings earlier this week and it has gotten some of his first reactions not to say that This is mostly saying that the film is overly good or anything But I know that a lot of you who watch this channel are excited for Candyman myself included To start off you have a response or reaction to the film Stating that I've seen Candyman once already and cannot wait to see it again If I see it five times will I conjure the honey hook hashtag tell everyone? You have another one here had a really good time noping the f out of my seat last night at Candyman I'll be reliving horror moments from near the cost of film for a while Thanks to monkey paw for the screening and raising the bar hashtag tell everyone Another one my wife and I saw Candyman last night and loved it Colt Coleman Domingo absolutely kills it the entire cast of a nominal and it definitely turns the original concept on its head Go see it safely. If you can of course. I don't August 27th Near we have another one Man all I'm gonna say is I'll be sleeping with my light my night light on Candyman 2021 is it must see in a true great sequel of the original Jordan Peele takes the cult classic and given elevated Takes the cult taking the cult classic and given elevated to the next level while staying true to the classic story Another one here saw a screening of Candyman tonight and love needed causes instincts in her powerful Recontextualizing of the story in clever ways that avoid re-traumatizing a black audience Another person from or another person just in general well worth the weight Candyman is finally hitting theaters on August 27 And it shouldn't be miss Bravo to the entire cast and this filmmaking team Here's someone else saying I saw Candyman tonight and I loved it There's much to be written about and talked about in this movie and I can't wait for its release I love black people. So just to go off of that all those reactions. I'm sure a lot of you who watch my channel are black I am black myself Hearing these responses and seeing these responses like this. They does make me even more excited for the film I was always excited for the film I was really intrigued to see what need to costa could bring to the table I myself will be getting to see it next week on August 24th and the review embargo in its entirety will lift the following day on Wednesday at 12 p.m Eastern and my review will be up on this channel. No spoilers whatsoever. I may even do a spoiler review depending on how Good the film actually is and what it has me thinking about after I'm done watching it because I'm sure this movie will give us a lot to think about As it pertains to a lot of the things going on in today's Social spectrum, I'll just say a lot of the things going on politically etc and Everyone that's already got a lot to say about the fact that the movie is gonna be overly political and have too much of an agenda Behind it or be too much about classes and race and all these other things it's just like I don't I don't know what else to tell you other than go back and watch the original film and Kind of just refresh yourself on the whole Candyman lore and the whole legend itself and where it stemmed from and what what goes into What made Daniel Daniel Robotel the way he is It's not to say that this movie will not suffer from I because I it looks like this is not taking a subtle approach as the Original film did but it depends on how how much are you departing from that subtlety that I would say was brilliantly done in the original is What's gonna end up be determining to me whether or not that subtlety should have stayed More so than going more so this hamp this hammer to the nail approach that I feel like we're gonna get more So they're gonna be calling out certain things but not in the vein of a black Christmas 2019 where it's it's done to the point where you're kind of just You're you're disgusted by the narrative I don't think it's gonna be done in overkill It's gonna be drawing attention, of course to a lot of things that people like to talk about in today's climate I don't want to go into any specifics about them. I want to say that for the review itself and I'm really glad that these reactions have come out about the film and I'm glad Nia de Costa seems to have Given us a worthy continuation from the original film from 1992 because I know a lot of you probably like myself You've seen the other Candy Man films definitely a step down Tony Todd was of course brilliant in all of them, but you know, they just weren't the same and Going back to Tony Todd. I noticed that none of these reviews are actually Short reactions. I'll say rather they're not mentioning Tony Todd and I I if you follow me on Twitter I've said this in tweets. I think what's happening is that somehow Daniel has found a way to just He's taken what happened with Helen and kind of like that was a lot of you branched out onto it under the tweet Helen was kind of like a test subject for this now greater Concept that he's now Fully developed and this is what he's been doing over the past several years since Helen's demise He's built up and found more ways to bring people back and kind of just make them part of his own Make them a part of his legend and using them to his own advantage to keep his his story going but also Them themselves having their own individual stories and it keeps the legacy of Candy Man alive while also Woven in all these other new different narratives that can be tied to Daniel himself and just make him stronger in the afterlife and What will end up happening is Daniel will be using and appearing in the film as these different victims that we've been seen Like like the Sherman character who you know was handing out candy to the kids and the police killed him unjustly Because they identified the wrong man. We won't be hearing their voices. We'll always hear Tony Todd's voice throughout the film That's what I think will happen with each new iteration of these quote-unquote candy men that we'll be getting Will not hear their voice. It'll be Daniel's voice up until the final moments of the film where Tony Todd will appear in His original form and we'll see him at the end kind of like a final boss type of moment That's what I think will happen The overexposure of the character is not necessary at all whatsoever You can effectively tell a good effectively have a good candy man film without having The actual candy man be overly exposed throughout the film And I think that's one of the things that the sequel suffered from candy man was shown in the original But you know things were built up Before that and it wasn't like he was overexposed when he was shown He would come and go come and go come and go he wasn't like prolonged in any of the real movie He wasn't prolonged on the screen. I guess his his presence was felt, but it wasn't overkill He was very ominous when his with his Interest is in his exits, but let me know as you guys think about these first reactions to need a cost as candy Men's down in the comment section below.
