I like Chucky just as much as the next horror fan, but this movie was a real let down.

It was a let down, easily the worst in the Child's Play series. I own every Chucky movie, I've been a fan of the series since part 2 came out and scared me half to death (I was, like, 7 or .

I can't say I really like the direction Mancini has taken the series. The dark comedy was a fun change of pace in Bride of Chucky, but the flat-out spoof comedy of Naked Gun proportions in Seed was just rediculous.

At least we got some closure in this movie. It looks like Tifanny's part is the series is over (hopefully). So if we ever get a Child's Play 6 we may not have to deal with her.

I also liked how Chucky finally accepted his fate. For 5 movies he's struggled to become human again. Chasing down Andy, Tyler, the Heart of Dambala....so much work! Then, at last he has everything set, the cops will never show up in time, he has WON. And then he just says "F*ck it".

THAT was awesome. "I am Chucky: the Killer Doll...and I DIG IT!!!".

Of course, that leaves the question: "If they do make a Child's Play 6, what's Chucky's motivation?". Kinda reminds me of Halloween Ressurection. At the beginning Michael kills Laurie, finally succeeding where he has failed in Halloween 1, 2 and H20 (Halloween 4-6 have been officialy erased from continuity, BTW). So what's left? He just goes home and kills a bunch of retards in his house. With his task finally complete there's just no more reason to keep on going.

Chucky doesn't want to be human anymore, so what would be possibly do in a sequel?

Though, I hate the comedy direction Mancini has taken the series, I will give him credit for one thing: continuity. Since he's written all 5 Child's Play movies the series has PERFECT continuity! That's something I canr eally appreciate. He even "remembered" the fact that dismemberment does NOT kill Chucky, only a shot through the heart or blowing up his head can do that. So the ending of Seed came as no surprise.

Anyway, I love the series but I hate the new direction. What I want out of Child's Play 6 is a return to horror. And I want it to be a Chucky solo-flick.

Everyone, this is DrSpengler, my new best friend.

I couldn't have said it better. But I have a guilty pleasure of liking when Chucky was actually in Seed of Chucky. all 15 minutes.

I like the ending of Seed, and the idea that you can get rid of Tiff and so on.

I despise, effin' DESPISE Glen. Worst looking doll ever, worst voice ever.

One thing I didn't think made sense, if Chucky was being made in a movie, why did they use the Franken-Chucky look? I always liked the normal look. I have an 8 x 10 of Chucky from Child's Play 2 hanging over my bed.

I think that if they make another Chucky flick, it will be back to the roots, I hope. But Mancini has said that since Chucky is out in the light, he isn't scary, people find him endearing. He's up there with Freddy Krueger. You WANT the kids in the flicks to die, not Chucky or Freddy.

Seed was a failure. Sure, we got to see Chuck once more, but was it really worth the wait and the crap-story?

I love Chucky more than any other Horror movie guy out there, and I had to struggle to sit through Seed, even if it was only to see that last scene, and that made it beter I guess. It gives you the feeling like "Ok, He's still kickin ass, they can still save this franchise next time."

I'd say the best in the series, by far, is CP2. Chucky is at his most sarcastic, most violent, and with the most gore.

I only wish the DVD would have the USA network ending.

Childs Play 1-3 I like 2 being my fav. but I didn't really care for Bride and I didn't even think twice about seeing this one and from what I read I'm glad,and there right who's still afraid of Chucky .

Yeah, I wish the Universal DVDs had a little more content to them, like the scenes used in the tv versions of the film (Tyler's original introduction in CP3 is completely ommitted from the theatrical version). I kinda prefer that the USA ending of CP2 wasn't used in the theatrical version, if only because it would mess with the continuity between 2 and 3. I mean, if it happened that would mean there's two Chucky's running around out there, the one fromt he original ending and the one that came back to life at the beginning of CP3. Of course, that could make for an interesting idea, albeit a confusing one.

CP2 is also my favorite. The puppetry was at it's very best in the entire series, if you ask me. Even better than what we got in Bride. They actually got a robot to do all of Chucky's walking in CP2, and it looked fantastic! When he's walking along the assembly line at the Good Guy factory or (especially) when he's closing in on the school teacher with the ruler. Awesome.

But I think what really sets CP2 aside from all the others is the score. It has a truely epic feel to it, and Chucky's theme (which has a Jack in the Box quality) is very eerie. I really wish they'd have stuck with that theme for the rest of the series, it could've ranked up there with Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and even Halloween. All three of the slasher headliners have classic themes, Chucky's had the potential to be just as memorable.

The sad thing is, we may never get a CP6. At least, it's going to be a looooong time. It took them six years to make Bride of Chucky and then another six years to make Seed. We're gonna have to wait.

Oh yeah, and I just want to say one more thing in regards to Seed.

Seed of Chucky > Halloween H20 and Halloween Ressurection

Why?

Because Seed actually had the balls to kill of the f*cking gangsta rapper they got for the movie! I went into H20 awaiting LL Cooljay's iminant death. CHEATED. I went into Ressurection prepared to laugh with glee at Busta's death scene. CHEATED! And to add insult to injury, he defeats Myers with kung fu and a crappy line ("Trick or treat muthaf*cka!!").

THank God they killed Redman or I might've done it for them.

If there wasn't that whole speech by Chucky at the end of Seed, where he accepts fate, we could very well have a dark and eerie CP6.

Imagine going back, seeing Andy, now 30 something and basically a shell of a man. Constantly haunted by visions of his bouts with Chucky, like a shell-shocked veteran.

I want the return of normal Chucky, return of the dark, homicidal character, every so often spouting lines like "Hows it hangin' Phil?"

I'd buy the DVD if it had a commentary with 'Chucky.'

Anyway, It would have been better if they used the Biblical poster, Chucky touching fingers with Glenn.
