Besides taking the series in a far more comedic direction, it's takes it in a new and kinda clever direction in general. I liked that it plays with Chucky's history and character, and that he wasn't just trying to go after Andy again. However, I think it would have been cool (and still would be cool) if they did have
another sort of confronation between Chucky and Andy again, a la Halloween: H20.
Jennifer Tilly does a great job as Chucky's love interest, and she makes a wickedly cool doll as well. Brad Dourif shines as usual, milking his most famous (yet not best) role for all it's worth. The direction is pretty good for this type of thing, the soundtrack is serviceable, and the urder setpieces are awesome. I think the script could have been a little better, but I'm not demanding Shakespeare or anything.
All in all, a fun little thrill ride. It's also hilarious to see Katherine Heigl before she got really famous.
