Okay, so movies, and their context, changes with time. The things that shouldn't change are morality, decency, basic scientific facts, and history just because it's suits our derangements at the time. That being said, this is a remake that I appreciate in it's entirety. They didn't just throw a bunch of black folk in to appease the woke crowd, didn't do any political correctness at all, and definitely no feminism. It was a good remake to be honest just because of those points alone. A dark comedy that emphasized, yet again, the dangers of the connectivity that we are trying to embrace. There's cameras everywhere, microphones everywhere, things become more and more automated, and there's an inherent danger in all of this which has been made evident from the standpoint of hacking on it's own. And it's a theme that makes more sense than the original Child's Play, to which I was a fan of immensely, and most of it's sequels, but they couldn't get their story straight even in the first movie as to how the whole thing operated, and that's a sin we'd accuse any movie of doing today if we caught it. The original has it's place, and this one does also. And further, don't be against remakes just because their remakes. Be against them because their remakes full of bulls***, to which this one is not guilty of in the least. And I never once saw this 'attitude' that people kept reviewing about either. You have to steer away from those that just hate for no real reason.

It was a great movie but the only characters I like was Chucky and Doreen. The other ones sucked. They could've made the characters more likeable. Just saying. Also apparently people don't get that it's a remake or re-imagining. Stop comparing them, they're supposed to be different.

It had a really good story. It's was funny. Weird and gory. In some parts the doll looked nothing like it did before so that was dumb. On some parts the doll looked bad ass and cool. Other than this I cannot compare the franchise.
