Mark Hamill is awesome.

@RocknRolla - @HeavyMetal4Life They are remaking a series that is currently alive and healthy, with a series underway an a couple of succesful films in it's trail.

It's mere existence is nonsensical, could be an interesting movie but for me and a whole lot of people, this is not Child's Play.

@Kleytus - The current series is very very far from healthy, the storyline while interesting is portly acted out productions values aren’t great and the latest test Chucky doll they’re using is the worse the series has seen.

Curse of Chucky, 76% RT.

Curse of Chucky 77% RT.

A series incoming.

Uh, yes.

@TheBlueMarvel - it's audience approves of the product they are putting out.
This is a B series and the production is as good as you can expect. If having two recent films well received in sales and critical reception isn't healthy I don't know what it is.

In fact, in my opinion, this big film aura they are trying to imbue the Reboot with is not doing it any favours to it's expectations.
Hamill's casting is the only thing seen as positive for this in Social Media since it's announcement.

I’m all for him getting more roles but he deserves better than this

@noahthegrand - pretty much. Genius casting move. They pretty much just forced my hand, I gotta watch it now.

I love Mark but recently for all of his dark roles, he just uses his Joker voice.

New “Chucky” movie? Ummm...no. Tiffany and I are gonna sit this one out. #NotmyChucky

@HeavyMetal4Life - Besides Bride of Chucky she hasn’t been the best addition to the series so I’m totally fine with her sitting it out lol.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/31/2019, 7:11 PM
@TheBlueMarvel - she had a minor role in Curse of Chucky, and she was good in Cult of Chucky.
TheBlueMarvel
TheBlueMarvel - 3/31/2019, 7:12 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - Ik she was Ik others I’m saying imo her best one of the series was her first appearance, the newer movies while plot wise are interesting the production values, acting, and new Chucky doll really undermine what the story has going for it.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/31/2019, 7:14 PM
@TheBlueMarvel - Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky were great. Nothing being undermined in those two films.

@TheBlueMarvel - also, do me a favor and don't keep clicking the Post Reply button. I just got like 40 notifications from you.

TheBlueMarvel - 3/31/2019, 8:36 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - gotcha on the post notification thing, but you have to admit for all the things that were "great" about the movies there were a lot of things wrong for it. Some of those faults being in either the acting or for example the ridiculousness of certain kills like when the one woman gets her head cut off by a shard of glass falling on her. The story is about the only thing I can praise about those films and even that is a stretch because the whole Andy possessing a chucky doll thing was kind of a "jumped the shark" moment.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/31/2019, 8:39 PM
@TheBlueMarvel - cool thanks.

Nah, I don't think there was anything wrong with those films, especially the kills, and they never jumped the shark. Its a Chucky movie! About a possessed killer doll!

Aubry Plaza and Mark Hamill?

This is genius casting. Hamil is a big name to bring in more tickets, but at the same time, he's also an accomplished voice actor, so this isn't just stunt casting.
Kleytus
Kleytus - 3/31/2019, 11:51 AM
@GoldGuy - As a marketing move this indeed could be the push this film needed, and could take back part of the fans of the OG series that hate the existence of this very movie.

I love Abury Plaza but was still going to take a pass on this (at least, in the theater) till I saw Mark Hamill's post yesterday. Now, I might just have to go and shell out the cash to bring the whole family!
