[@PonandCon9025]

the reason this failed was because Max was too hateable and the "robbers" were to likeable. In the first two movies, Kevin was nice and only fought back if he was provoked. The robbers in the first two were also very clearly evil, which made it enjoyable to watch them get tortured by Kevin's traps. In this version, Max is a b*tch who does whatever he wants with no punishment, while the robbers are a couple who want to get a doll back because they need it since it's worth a lot of money and they're about to lose their house. They're also a lot more redeemable then Harry and Marv, which makes you feel bad for them when they go through the traps.

[@noorrougelewis6704]

Yeah, also Harry and Marv were idiots who kept going back into the stinking boobey trapped house. I think the audience was yelling at them the whole time to just give it up and go home. They were also vengeful. Harry wanted to torture Kevin for all the pain he caused him, for a house he had no right to break into. In the second one they were also vengeful. They kidnapped Kevin and were going to throw him on ice to drown.

Fun fact: There was a deleted scene in the original movie that had Harry talking to Marv his tragic own backstory and why he's robbing to begin with. But it was cut because they knew you would sympathize with them instead or rooting for Kevin and would make Kevin more like the villain when he causes the traps. But here, I guess they ran out of ideas and just re-used something that would've made the original not good and there was a reason WHY it wasn't in the original. I'm tired of seeing Disney use the sympathetic villain move because it's forced and boring. This was one of the worst remakes/sequels I have seen in recent years.

In the original/2 the robbers were actually trying to rob him, and everytime they lost they would keep trying, they even almost hurt Kevin.

My parents were super old school parents, we had to do chores, couldn't hang out with people unless they met their parents, and the only way we got to play outside is if all the neighbors were hanging outside too. We were not actually raised by religious people, but we did ended up living next to our parents family friends. And as far as kids being kids again. There are tons of stories everywhere about how kids got murdered, tortured, overworked (before they were basic labor laws preventing that), and just went missing/we're never seen again a hundred years back. We just have Amber alert systems and everything now to be a constant reminder of the fact that if you're having kids then you're selfish or naive. Because this is not and never has been a world for children. If you're a kid you have no rights, you make no decisions for yourself, you have no experience-(which everyone either uses to manipulate or belittle you), you have no freedom, you get what you get as far as quality of parents/family/school systems/living situations/religions, everybody wants to either put you down to make themselves feel better -OR to do some horrible illegal stuff to you, because the trauma will shut off the language center in your developing brain, and they will most likely get away with horrible things that will negatively affect the rest of your life. People wonder why kids bully other kids, it's because those kids who get bullied and those kids who become bullies / none of them have it easy. Parents don't know how to freaking deal with it either, it's a mess that they made because they were made to be messes too. Being a kid sucks, being a kid is overrated, being adult is so much better. And if you say otherwise, then it's most likely that you were either extremely privileged or extremely forgetful. There is no such thing as a kid being getting to be a kid. Unless they're dead so they don't know what real living feels like. Real living is getting to make your own decisions. Really living means surviving long enough to be an adult. Though if you're really messed up as a kid, and if you're really not born in the right conditions.... Then you're definitely handicapped as an adult. So yeah, next time you hear an Amber alert I hope you think of this, and your lack of knowledge in history for people, balming everything on "now a days" because of some privilege you have. Or it's worse, you're not privileged, you just lack critical thinking, and because you heard ignorance enough, been to enough adults pity parties, you think now it's worse than when you were a kid.

The guy doesn't owe him anything. Yet Max is so entitled he feels the need to steal from him to express his displeasure. (Yes, he only stole the soda, but the point stands).

A fairly decent house. Just flinging cash for pizza for 15. I think they just took these assertions and ran with it in the movie.

The point is, the key factor anyone who's attempting to create this kind of formula should always have present as their main priority when writing the sequence is that YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THE AUDIENCE CARE OR ROOT FOR THE ONE GETTING HURT, on the contrary, YOU MUST WANT TO HAVE THE AUDIENCE HOPE FOR THAT PERSON'S FAILURE. Tho most common plot is that the character getting hurt is usually trying to eat the other character, like Tom and Jerry, Road Runner and Sylvester.

Home Alone 3 is actually a bit of a hidden gem in the sequels. I'd recommend giving it a shot. It's a different kid and different family, but the kid actually calls the police multiple times, and only takes matters into his own hands when he gets accused of lying to the police. Twice. And honestly, the villains themselves are really cool. It's not just some duo of robbers who are just a pair of cartoon idiots, it's a team of four international criminals, bringing the stakes up hilariously high. It's by no means as good as the original, at least when it comes to the big emotional mother-son moment at the end, but it's a far cry above the fourth and beyond. Plus, Scarlett Johansson is in it when she was like, what, 15? Always fun seeing a fetus version of a Hollywood favorite.

RIGHT! Place looks like it has 3 - 5 of them at least

The difference between this film and a knife is the knife has a point

[@melyqjosie]

okay THAT was pretty good

[@EdmondDantes224]

Wait did they have a sign out front saying their house is protected by "McAllister Security?" So what, did Kevin start a security firm based around installing death traps?

[@NeoScyther]

I'll give the movie this much: they actually got Devin Raytray to reprise his role as Buzz from the original movies. That's probably the best thing about this movie.

[@dukecaliblap]

This movie kind of embodies the problem that a lot of these modern reboots have, which is that they clearly couldn't decide if the movie was intended to be for a new audience, or if it's meant for fans of the original. So by trying to appeal to both of those demographics, they just end up not appealing to either of them

[@benfletcher8100]

Would’ve loved an interaction where the parents say to Buzz “We accidentally left him here while we went to Tokyo” and he’s like “Say no more, I’m experienced with this sort of thing”

[@Attmay]

Now I am starting to think that this was a sacrificial work that exists for no other reason than to give work to Devin Ratray. Literally, everything else in the film was built around that one scene. It’s like trying to build a shirt around a button.

[@thecowboybebop2071]

Bro when that part happens when Max is screaming at his mom when she’s on the phone? If that were me my mom would go Super Saiyan on me, kill me, and dance on my grave

[@devilslayer45]

So is there an antagonist in this movie? It just feels like a huge misunderstanding to me.

"It's a kid's movie" is a bad excuse for bad movies.

Im spitting hairs, but This is more of a family movie

how to train your dragon or spirit are great examples of great kids movies

applies to horror movies because half of them throw jump scares and use that as an excuse to not have a proper plot

Bad kids movies are bad to adults but still good to kids

[@DeanLovesCas]

"The new home alone movie is worse than you could possibly imagine" well, I can imagine a lot of bad stuff, and I've gone through watching a lot of crap, but that movie just reached a new level of disappointing garbage

[@MrTaylork1]

If you were disappointed, it’s kinda your own fault, you know? That implies you had some positive expectations for the movie going in

[@bigbearkat2010]

Yeah I did feel that to be a bold claim since I did not hear one person that had a kind thing to say about this movie since it was announced.

[@598superchris]

4:34 unfortunately she's technically right.

[@kcenneckennek]

Honestly, a good premise flip would’ve been a pair of burglars trying to steal the doll instead and Max having to protect it for his neighbours

[@genericname2747]

Max has to break into the neighbors house to set up traps to stop the robbers

[@thefirely1439]

The original actor had a certain charm to his sarcasm. This kid does not. Just seems like a child James Corden.

[@tarotsushima3332]

Which is a shame because the kid actually has acting chops, playing the mc in Jojo Rabbit. But an actor's usually only as good as their script & direction

[@thefirely1439]

@@tarotsushima3332 yeah true. Kid was great in Jojo Rabbit

The ONLY good thing to come out of this trashfire is Buzzes cameo as a cop mentioning kevin owns a home security company. Lol this movie is a mess otherwise.

[@hope-cat4894]

Kevin working for home security seems like a decent movie plot by itself. It's not like the actor isn't still acting; he was in American Horror Story recently.

[@AirQuotes]

@@hope-cat4894 he probably saw this script, laughed his ass off. And when he realised it wasn't a joke he told them to never contact him again.
