I ended up skipping the last 30 minutes or so of the movie and just looking at the ending. The motivations of all of the cast are really unclear. The dialogue is made up of almost entirely unnatural and expository dialogue. The effects are average at best. The action choreography is minimal considering this was advertised as an action movie. There is no overarching theme of choosing between right and wrong like most hero stories. The psych-thriller aspect is tapped into a little with rotating camera shots and having an entire crowd look at the main character, Cassie, but that only happens once. Most of the time, the strange camera shots force your eyes to jump around the screen and take in lots of new visual content multiple times in the span of 2 seconds. Final word: 2/10 "Maybe the real Madame Webb were the friends we made along the way" Spoilers (technically): Then the ending tries to have a cinematic hero shot with emotional music, like I was ever invested in these characters. It feels like they were trying to make the last scene a reward for all of the challenges the heroes overcame, but the challenge they overcame was so basic the reward just doesn't feel deserved. There was a psycho rich guy trying to kill our cast and then they beat him with friendship and foresight.

A fellow critic colleague of mine who goes by the name of "Zachary Dean" has summarized my feelings for this revolutionary work of art. The story of "Candy land: The Great Adventure" most positively earns title of "Great Adventure". Before watching this theatrical masterpiece I have never seen my iron willed father shed a single tear... This movie... This artwork... I had never seen a man bawl his eyes out so hard. A tear jerking compilation of frames into scenes. Pacing has never been perfected to a degree so high as well. Watching this movie will feel like the most pleasant of years go by. When you awake from its dream-like trance to the sight of credits you will be surprised that only 57 minutes have passed. You will awake with new connections to the individual characters such as Mr. Mint, Jolly, Gloppy, Lolly and more, thinking them of friends from a distant time. And the animation. The fine lines that barely separate figures from each other. Their refinement is superb. Lighting flares are used only appropriately and exquisitely. It is a technical and storytelling marvel in my personal summary. You, your family, extended family, and fraternity must dedicate at least a fraction of your lives to watching this movie at least 37 times or you will miss each perfection it has to offer. 5 stars most positively.
