Codacious

Great cast, good budget, and a fantasy IP that could have made more money then a printing press, and they ruined it with a worst script then any Love Boat episode. I can't believe Blumhouse would greenlight the dribble that was set in front of them that was called a script. I'm not sure if I'm more upset that I wasted my time watching this or the fact they killed the franchise.

I expected B- Horror Comedy from the reviews and got C- Horror instead. Not once did I crack a smile, smirk, or snide. An up comer "Lakin Valdez" had the best role and lines, Zazie Beetz and Chance gave a good performance but didn't have any good lines. Paul Scheer and Chris Parnell must have taken this just to get a credit as they know a bad part when they see it. I'll assume Parnell threw the painting bit in to get a laugh, but it was a miss. Scheer is good at schlock comedy, but added nothing to make this watchable. It's not that the acting is bad, it's just a bad script that the actors didn't improvise/improve on. I suggest watching the trailer instead as it has the best 2 minutes this movie has to give.

The movie itself should be a 6.5, maybe a 7 if you're a fan so I'm surprised by the low scores until I looked and seen how many people gave it a 1. Do you know how bad a movie has to be to receive a rating of 1? At first I thought the bible thumpers were uniting, but that doesn't seam to be the case so now I'm left to wonder who these *bright intelligent beings* are so I can filter any review or opinion they may have to the recycle bin.

I missed Doug Jones in this one as it's a reboot of sorts, but only after the movie was over as it held my attention for all the right reasons. I'm giving this a 10 to help offset the idiotic 1 reviews from people who thought they were sitting down to watch Mary Poppins.
