When I went into this movie I was a little hesitant if I was going to enjoy it or not, but I was pleasantly surprised!
They have managed to successfully update the storyline for modern audiences and incorporated today's technology. The kills were much more inventive and they elevated the gore factor.
The character development was strong, with a few emotional scenes. Chucky came across as more of a human character rather than a robot doll. There were so many Easter eggs and nods to the original movie. It would of been a 10 star rating if Chucky said my favourite lines 'wanna play'
It's only of the best films I've seen in 2019.

Child's Play (2019) was really good to be fair! Hilarious "animatronics" like in the original, shocking OTT gore, comedy.... everything you want in a movie about a killer doll! Don't go in comparing it to the original, just enjoy the little nods to it! Hamill makes Chucky feel more creepy, Plaza can do no wrong anyway in my eyes... all the cast were solid in all honesty!
I wouldn't exactly say this was a remake in the sense of its a direct rehash of the original. It's more the case of the original idea had been given to develop by today's standards.
It in fact, greatly improves upon the original. A very clever observation on society today; in how dependant and over exposed to electronic media children are today. How technology has and does develop a crippling (literally) abundance in our everyday life. How we use technology to communicate and not communicate.
The most striking details I felt was how Chucky was in fact not evil. He was certainly a 'killer doll' however, had he been given to a young girl obsessed with pink and unicorns. The film would have turned out differently. It is what Chucky learns from his environment that influences him. He learns from what people say and what children watch. Like the scene where the kids are watching Texas chainsaw massacre and laughing; we had been shown that Chucky had been asking "are we having fun?".
Please watch this film with an open mind, it deserves to be watched with fresh eyes.
Saw the new Child's Play tonight. At first I was like naw, not gonna see it but then I decided to give it a chance. Glad I did, I liked it. It was able to keep the flavor and fun of the original but tell the story in a new way so you don't feel you're just watching a remake. You may actually feel bad for Chucky at times so that right there tells you it's a bit different.
At first I didn't like new Andy because he's older and seemed stupid to give an older kid a doll but the doll is evolved too, with tech that even older kids can find fun. The kid who plays Andy is good as are the other kids. Mom and the detective fit the roles nice and very different from the original characters which I think was smart. If they'd tried to just copy the originals it wouldn't have worked because we'd always compare them.
I don't want to give anything away but I'll just say thanks to the Kasden cloud storage I think we may see sequels, and I'm ok with that.

The movie was a really wild ride. It was really scary even though the main villain is a doll. It was bloody and one of the best reboots. Really good jumpscares. The acting was perfect. I recommend you to watch the movie.
