As a huge Chucky fan I am very happy with this movie. I admit it's a bit strange to remake it since the original series continues to run, but this movie isn't another trash remake. The plot is standard as well as refreshing having Chucky be an AI, who learns to murder people after misinterpretation. I would love to see this Chucky's potential if they make a sequel, despite him looking kinda weird. Each actor did a good job in their respective roles, especially Gabriel Bateman and Mark Hamill. There is indeed an absence of Chucky making jokes about how he loves being evil, but it's not a big deal. The kills are brutally creative, definitely deserves the R rating. Also, Bear McCreary did an amazing job with the soundtrack. For the first time ever Chucky got a signature score, which prior films failed to do. He used toys for instruments and Mark Hamill is a pleasant singer. It was honestly really nice to see Chucky get another theatrical release after Seed of Chucky was a train wreck of nonsense. Unlike most horror movie remakes this one was actually good. I recommend giving it a chance.
