Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog (2021)
Yup, disappointing
Cute crossover, the 90's kids have been waiting for this one, I just feel like it could have been made a little "spookier". Out of all those creepy creatures and ghouls from both Scooby and Courage, you chose an ugly bug as the main villain???? Also some scenes were very dumb (like the canyon chase one).
It's not a terrible movie, but it is definitely a missed opportunity.
Candyman (2021)
Proof that Jordan Peele's movies are not scary
I went to watch this movie, knowing the original is a scary classic & thinking a remake would be even scarier. I really thought this movie had potential. But then I realized Jordan Peele is involved in this and even though I still gave it a chance, it disappointed me.
This is a big middle finger to the original. I appreciate Peele's values and the way he wants to make the white audience aware of the fact that racism still exists in America, but he forgot to make the movie... scary.
The fact that candyman was a ghost visible only through mirrors was the biggest turn off. And also, the way he killed white people only was amusing, even though, in the original, he kills black people too.
On the bright side, unlike the original, which scared me when I was younger, this remake helped me get over my fear of saying "Candyman" 5 times in the mirror.
