time child's play right here on movies in a nutshell
hi Daddy hello everyone and welcome to movies a nutshell where we talk about
movies in a quick way so you can get out there day I'm your amazing spectacular
host detective Artemus and before we go on you hit that thumbs up button because
I know it you know it shit face knows it you really want to like this please
today our movie will be child's play in this video we'll be talking about
spoilers so if you haven't seen child's play yet hit that watch Enter button on
this video go on to watch the movie and then come back in and join the
discussion go or forget what spoilers sit back and let's talk from the
producers of it chapters 1 & 2 comes the reimagining remake reboot whatever the
fuck of one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time that nobody asked
for after Chucky creator Don Mancini revealed that he was gonna be doing a
Chucky TV show in early 2018 which would be airing on Sci Fi MGM announced that
they'll be remaking the first child's play movie why because MGM still owns
the right to the first movie with an option to remake and Mancini owns the
rights to the sequels and everything else so with MGM being captured the pedi
party they decided to remake damn that lion now should MGM be allowed to make
sequels to the remake isn't exactly clear what the movie did make some
profits so we'll just have to wait and see we're gonna have two existing Chucky
franchises in two separate continuities what is this
DC either way it's still a dick move you know what you were doing our story here
is once again about a kid named Andy who gets his life terrorized by a doll and
his mom played by Aubrey Plaza is used to taking care of a different Andy
do buddies away I think she did okay in this movie the movie starts off with the
factory worker in Vietnam get him berated and fired by his manager
so he then tappers with one of the buddy DOS turns off its language and violence
restrictions and whatnot before he jumps out of the building and
onto a car a reference to the first movie when Aunt Maggie dies in a similar
fashion unfortunately the references stop there
because there couldn't be too many similarities in debts compared to the
first movie in all the other sequels damn this shit is complicated Chuckie is
a child of divorce in this rights issue oh there's actually another one where
and he grabs a hammer to attack Chuckie which was his first murder weapon in the
original movie where he killed on Maggie alright let's dive into this shit I know
you've been waiting for it I don't like the new design of Chuckie his face looks
weird and somehow more soulless I mean I get that he's a robot but it just
doesn't work for me here I also hate it how modern he was he was just like a
doll version of Alexa it takes away all the mystique and supernatural elements
from the first movie by grounding it in modern mundane society I mean give it
time Apple or Google we making this robot pretty soon I guess I'm officially
an old man now but then again I can't exactly blame him from vastly changing
it from the original I mean it's like the scrolls once said embrace change and
the original Chucky didn't want to be Andy's friend he wanted to manipulate
him so he can switch bodies so he can be reincarnated as a kid in the new movie
Chucky legit wants to be Andy's best friend he becomes obsessed and if anyone
or anything gets the way of their happiness they're dead the dynamics and
motivations of the characters are drastically changed here I also do we
like that because it kind of takes away the edge from Chucky Chucky don't to be
your friend he'll give a shit about you but here he does and like that it just
turned him into an obsessed robot and the et references were everywhere with
this glowing finger Andy's red hoodie and Chucky learning how to do shit from
watching TV all he needed was some Reese's I actually enjoyed Mark Hamill's
performances Chucky he actually brought a certain innocence to him and kind of
made him sympathetic which ward in the context of the movie but at the same
time I also didn't really like it either I was hoping for full-on cursing rants
but they never came they actually kind of watered down Chucky quite a bit of
this movie he didn't even feel like the main villain of the movie that actually
went to that douche shame Thanks not that shame the only
antagonist in the Chucky movie should be Chucky that's it oh and this isn't the
first time the mark Emma voice Chucky yeah actually did it before in a Robot
Chicken episode yeah that was it I didn't carry so much for Andy I mean I
felt bad for him but he was more angsty and order than the original Andy I mean
yeah he was a teenager and Andy was like six and the original but the innocence
works better what he's a kid all Andy ever wanted was a good guy doll and when
he got it it ended up being the worst thing that ever happened to him here hey
didn't give a shit he was a UH okay he was only in it for the memes and then
when he's trying to name Chucky he's like how about I call you han Solo
uh-huh uh-huh fuck you Andy how dare you tell mark hamill that once again the
dynamics and the character motivations were flipped and I wasn't a big fan of
that plus I didn't understand the point of him being here and impaired it didn't
really affect the plot was it just to make him feel more of an outsider that's
kind of that sucks I did like detective Norris even though
there was only one detective here and that's me he was more likable and
fleshed out as a character and when his mom died I felt pretty bad easily the
best character in this entire movie yes offense Chuckie I thought the kills were
pretty cool and gruesome especially the one with step daddy Shane where if we
find out that he has a secret family what a dick
again not that Shane though still a dick I also like the killer clowns from outer
space poster don't think I didn't notice in fact when that movie came out that
was all for the same year when the original child's play came out Easter
egg and also that random ass Robocop line you know which one you don't know
we cannot be friends to find a whack in the toy store was actually pretty cool
and shot nicely and also can each of those bunny dogs get a spin-off movie
especially that bear buddy the hell was up with that some a furry fantasy man
I'd be lying if I said it want one though the movie ends were once again
Chucky is killed by Andy Herron and Norris and they say the
famous line without say in the friend part I mean if you're gonna say it all
then don't say it at all friend was this a rights issue really
yeah the last thing we see is another buddy dog being shipped out the factory
and his eyes start flashing red which I didn't understand because that Chucky
doll was destroyed completely but then was he did he pass his knowledge and a I
intend nother one that's fucking stupid because in the original it was always
the same doll he just happened to get fixed back up I don't care this on this
slightly more realistic give me my dumbass supernatural serial killer
trapped in a doll please whatever the lesson here is to be nice to your
employees now it's not a rate that movies let's bring out the ratings bar
we have awesome must watch damn fine movie good dumb fun watching your board
and avoid at all cost to me there were some good moments in Silas exchanges but
at his bare bones it was still the core story this can work for a newer and
younger audience but for me the things that made Chucky Chucky weren't here at
all Morecambe will did the best what he had and I like the kills but it just
wasn't for me like I said in my thoughts of Mark mo Chucky video from last year I
said this would be mediocre at best with Mark Hamill being the best thing about
it well looks like I called that one I hope I can any idiot could have said
that but at the end the day nothing is worse than seeing of Chucky so I hereby
declare child's play good dumb fun so what do you guys think of the movie and
do you want this franchise to continue let me know in the comments down below
