it's better than the first one, which was rubbish.

The first one was not rubbish. Now, the 3rd one was. They even fucked up Candyman's origin story in that one! It was nothing like it was in the 2nd one.

It shows him getting killed by bees at night and there's even music playing, whereas in the 2nd one, it was daytime and there was no music playing. Also, the buildup and drama is gone when they show the flashback in the 3rd one. At least the 2nd one was a decent sequel. The 3rd one sucked!

I agree that third film was terrible. Hoping this is a hit so they can make other horror sequels like Warlock with Julian Sands returning.

I’d love that, but without the amazing Jerry Goldsmith a “Warlock” sequel just wouldn’t be the same.

Oh I think rubbish is way harsh! Sits in my memory as one of the 90s best horror movies, certainly one of the smartest. Great acting too, especially by Virginia Madsen. I'm so bummed she's not in this version.

The first one was very good. This one is even better.
