Cool TV series
Well I can guess the low ratings are from people who don't like it compared to the original 80's series. A female Higgins probably didn't go down well? I don't remember much about the old series apart from set on Hawaii, Tom Selleck, Ferrari and the English butler with the Doberman dogs.
20 years since that ended this is the reboot. It keeps all those elements, with a modern Ferrari and T. C. with an identical Helicopter.
Now that Hawaii 5o has finished if you want a light hearted action series in a beautiful location, this is it. Some good action scenes and cameos from the original cast. It's easy viewing, maybe not as funny as it thinks but generally a good watch.

Not much of a Slasher
Say his name
I was a bit surprised when I saw Jordan Peele name roll up at the start as a producer and writer for this and it has his hallmark all over it. I loved @Get Out (2017) but you don't expect a strong political message about racism and racial injustice in a Candyman film. Sadly its so prominent that it dominates the story too much.
Working as a sequel to the original it starts OK with some nice back story and scenes about the original told by shadow animation. Although really lacking in the horror department. The film looks good and stylish but it is the wrong vehicle for the message being thrown at you.

I know I've seen the 1989 original.

I don't remember much about it, other than the basic outline of the plot.

I do know that this follows the same story, almost beat for beat, and that there was lot of controversy around the casting of Ariel herself (believe it or not) coming up to the time of release.

Having now watched it on Disney Plus, I found it to drag somewhat; more drawn out than it needed to be.

Halle Bailey does silence her critics in the lead role, with Melissa McCarthy's Ursula also lighting up the screen when she is on it, but it feels like if had been extended (in running time, by nearly an hour over the original or so I have read) just because they could!
