Candyman Review: 5 Ups & 5 Downs

3. Not Enough Tony Todd

Many fans of the original were excited to hear that original Candyman star Tony Todd had been cast in the movie, and while few were expecting a substantial part for the actor, they were surely hoping for more than... this.

Without going into too much detail, Todd has just a few seconds of screen time late in the movie, and not quite in the way you're probably thinking.

Rather than cast Todd to play Candyman as he sporadically appears throughout the film, he's here for one brief moment the visual conception of which is sure to heavily divide fans.

You can argue that it's neat he was even involved at all, but as fan service goes, it feels incredibly tepid.
