Garbage, but not woke garbage
Nothing woke, but a complete piece of trash nonetheless. A bland and pointless remake with a sad pathetic knockoff version of Freddy Krueger.

Ignore the claims of “Gay Subtext”
I’ve watched this movie a number of times and still can’t understand the claims that Freddy Krueger was supposed to represent the main protagonist’s supposed “repressed homosexuality”. It’s a load of crap in my honest opinion.
People have debated for decades over this movie’s supposed “gayness” and both the writer and the director denied any such thing for years until more recently when everyone went woke and started worshipping and pandering to the LGBT community. The director still denies any gay subtext but the writer, after almost 40 years of denying it, now claims it was intentional. I don’t believe it. It sounds like virtue signaling for woke points.
The actor in the lead role is gay in real life and at times that may slip through, mostly in his screaming, but in terms of the character or movie in general there is nothing at all to suggest that the character was intended to be a closeted homosexual or much less that Freddy Krueger was meant to represent his supposed repressed homosexuality.
All that aside, pretty good movie. Not as good as the original, but nothing is.

A horror film with themes of ghetto vs rich class struggle without any overt racial or political agenda being pushed.
For some, just knowing that the hero of the film is a struggling black boy from the ghetto and the villains are crazed, rich, racist white people may lead them to believe that the film stinks of wokeness but I assure you it does not.
The villains of the film hurt EVERYBODY. White, black, male, female doesn’t matter. They represent the rich white elite who own all of the property and hold everyone else down. The kind of people who cheated their way into wealth and riches and look down on anyone who hasn’t done the same. The kind of people who in today’s world would advocate for social justice and forced racial integration in YOUR neighborhood but lock themselves away in a lily white gated community and never associate with any minorities. The kind of people who would call YOU a racist for supporting Donald Trump but refer to all blacks as “niggers” when they’re among their inner circle.
All in all, a pretty good movie. Far from Wes Craven’s best film, but a pretty crazy ride.

Great Killer Doll Movies
All of the movies in the Child’s Play trilogy are great. They were the true horror films in the “Child’s Play/Chucky” franchise, as opposed to the dark comedy tone the later films adapted, though these contained some dark humor as well. Nothing at all woke about them. Ignore Don Mancini’s later entries in the series and the awful TV series and stick with Child’s Play 1, 2 and 3, Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. Everything after is woke garbage.

Love this movie
The first of the dark comedy Chucky movies but the best of them as well. Nothing woke in this one as opposed to Don Mancini’s later work. There is one gay character but he has a very minor role and he’s treated like everyone else, no pandering or agendas were being pushed here.

The last good Chucky movie before Don Mancini went woke
Pretty funny movie. Gender confusion and cross dressing are played for laughs and portrayed as a psychological illness in this 2004 film rather than the moronic pandering and normalization of such things that came later. Even Don Mancini (an openly gay man) wasn’t always obsessed with worshipping the LGBT community.

Not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but far from good.
It might have been salvageable without the wokeness but even then it’s not great.
Woke elements include a gay black man with a disabled husband, the mentioning of chosen pronouns, and Chucky possessing a woman’s body and essentially becoming a lesbian with his old girlfriend.

Pure Woke Garbage
The main characters are a couple of gay, “non-binary” interracial, adolescent boys. Need I say more? There’s also a line where Chucky tells the kid he supports the LGBT community because he’s “a murderer not a monster”. You can’t make this crap up.
