Platypuschow I didn't really rate the original Candy Man all too high, I don't think it was terrible it was just a messy clichéd horror.This came as a huge surprise to me, everything was arranged for it to achieve greatness including Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen. Somehow, someway it just didn't work for me.Farewell To The Flesh failed to impress me even more so. I see what they were trying to accomplish, they have attempted to flesh out the mythology of the Candyman and on that front they succeed.Trouble is the movie just isn't very good, the cast are competent enough but the story is all over the place and I failed to get behind anyone let alone the protagonist.To their credit I do understand everything they tried to do with this sequel, I just think very little of it came close to target.The Good: Decent cast The Bad: Desperate use of jump scares Weirdly boring Unengaging plot Things I Learnt From This Movie: The Candymans backstory is considerably more entertaining than the movies

GL84 After her brother's involvement in a savage death, a woman's search for the truth leads to a family curse involving the local legend of the Candyman and tries to stop his reign of terror in New Orleans.This turned out to have a lot of good things going for it. One of the better examples here is the continuing nature of the film's expanding story of how the Candyman came into being, furthering the connection even more than it already did. Bolstering the legend quite well with the flashbacks to his torture and paring that against his legend between the family really makes for an entertaining horror effort. The main attack here concerns the appearance at the curio shop which turns into a thrilling chase through a carnival parade as he continually appears among the patrons, though other attacks are bound throughout here. The penthouse attack where he first appears to her, his attack on the detective in the holding cell and the cemetery attack that leads into the final confrontation are all filled with incredibly chilling and fun action. Likewise, the finale gets a lot right here by managing to come full-circle and fully discloses the back-story from earlier but also mixes in some action and spectacle along the way by using the raging thunderstorm to wash away not only the characters but also the landscape in the water torrent and also forcing into it the escape from the collapsing monument. It's a really fun finish and helps to stave off the few flaws in here. One of the biggest issues here is the irritating and useless voice-over narration from the radio show host that permeates this one as none of what's said is in any way, shape or form original, imperative to the story or gets to the point of the scene by just being utterly irritating quite quickly. This also manages to continue the series long flaw of having no real point for his actions against her since he spends so much of the film time simply appearing behind her without actively making threats. That comes off here as a tired act of something that was utilized in the first one and continues in this one. These here drop this down but not enough to really hurt it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.

atinder I was not a big fan of Candyman (1992), as I did not find the movie scary or creepy at all and Candyman did not scare me at all.I saw this movie last weekends, I Can not think of a single think that really stood out in the movie, i can't remember much about the movie at all.I found this movie really boring at times but I did find less boring then first movie, i don't know why, i the felt candyman was just little bit more creepy this time around.The acting was good from the whole cast but the ending was little rushed, I think however it fitted in with rest of the movie. I gave first Candyman 5 out of 10 and the same goes for this movie.

disdressed12 i liked this follow up to the original Candyman movie.i found it entertaining and the acting is pretty good.i also liked that there was a back story that fleshed out the title character and gave him some humanity.i didn't find the movie scary and there wasn't a lot of gore,so gore hounds will be disappointed.the story itself doesn't have a lot of depth to it,other than the back story.still the movie goes along at a good clip,and it's very stylish,more so than the first one was.was it as good as the original?i think so.i don't think it was better,but it was as good.in terms of entertainment,i thought it was a good movie.if you expect to be scared,you might be disappointed here.otherwise,you might like it.for me,Candyman 2:Farewell to the Flesh is an 8/10
