In the original, Kevin was bratty, yet still sympathetic, and the Wet Bandits were the clear villains. Here, the kid is SO obnoxious, that you find yourself rooting for the antagonists to win!

They miss the mark when they decided to make the villains relatable, not every movie needs a relatable villain, this is the perfect example: Home alone just needs bad guys that do bad stuff

Home Alone 2 is actually my favorite. I know it rehashes a lot of ideas, but the idea of Kevin fighting to save sick children is great. I love the pigeon lady, and also the end with his mom is really emotionally satisfying.

Here is why the original is better: In the original the characters were actually fleshed out and developed. Kevin was not a perfect kid (wasn't a Mary Sue), he started out as a brat but you understood why he was a brat. Then over the course of the film he had a little thing called a "character arc" and he realized how much he needed his family. This made him interesting, likeable and made you want to root for him. The burglars on the other hand were doing horrible things, we got to know them, they were also well fleshed out but at the end of the day they were terrible people which made it satisfying when Kevin tortured them. In Home Sweet Home Alone I was pulling for the burglars because all they were trying to do was get back something that was rightfully theirs, the kid Max was an annoying little shit who didn't have nearly the depth or the likability that Kevin had and I found myself pulling for the burglars to rip his fucking head off. Not to mention the dialogue was beyond unnatural, the acting was bad and there were so many call backs to the original that weren't earned nor were they needed, typical Disney these days.

I can’t believe someone approved the movie script for the new home alone 🤦‍♂️

I feel bad for the kids that are going to be taken to see this movie, rather than just re-watching the classic

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Hollywood really needs to stop remaking these classics. It's getting quite annoying.

I admit I felt bad for the McKenzie’s as they weren’t true criminals they were trying to get their doll back thinking it was taken by Max when he took a soda not the doll.

They took the most enjoyable aspect of home alone which is having criminals getting demolished by a child which is funny and turned it into something depressing by using people that are just trying to get back something they lost

Let’s be honest here. Pam and Jeff are the protagonists of this movie. They’re just two parents who need money in order to keep their house just so that they and their kids could have a place to live. As a result of that, you feel more emotion for THEM instead of the main character, Max, you know, the kid who’s home alone, THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROOTING FOR? Unlike other films, in which the burglars more or less deserved what they got (First film, Wet Bandits tried to rob Kevin’s house, second film, the Sticky Bandits try to steal charity money meant to got to kids who desperately need it in a hospital, third film, four terrorists try to steal a chip that controls a missile for a North Korean terrorist organization, fourth film, Marv and his wife try to get revenge on Kevin, fifth film, three art thieves try to break into a house to steal a valuable painting and try to kill anyone who gets in their way), where whenever the robbers fall for the traps, it’s funny, here… it’s not funny. Especially when Pam starts CRYING over the fact that their kids will be forced to live on the streets just because they can’t pay their debts. This film kind of reminds me of the SpongeBob episode, One Coarse Meal. In that episode, Mr. Krabs tries to terrorize Plankton into committing suicide so that Plankton will no longer try to steal the Krabby Patty formula. Ignoring all the other major things the episode does wrong, this episode basically is saying, “It doesn’t matter what Mr. Krabs is doing here, he’s the hero, Plankton’s the villain, so if Mr. Krabs wants to drive him to suicide, that’s OK because he's the hero!” The fact is this idea DOES NOT WORK if you feel sorrier for the supposed “antagonist” of the story rather than the “protagonist”. As for Max, the main character, he’s overall pretty bland and lacks the charm of Kevin, or Alex from the first three films. Heck, even though 4 and 5 are hated by a lot of people, at least THERE they made it clear that the kid is the protagonist, and the bandits are the villains. I guess they wanted to mix things up with this film to have it stand out from the previous films, like having the villains be good because it’s Christmas and the important thing is family and all that, but the premise is way too mean spirited, and having Pam and Jeff suffering through the traps, while they are ALREADY SUFFERING FROM LOSING THEIR HOUSE AND NOT HAVING MONEY TO FEED THEIR KIDS is overall just way too depressing for me to laugh at.

Original reigns supreme.
Still such a great movie to watch during the holidays with the classics.

Ah yes, the first thing a 12 Year old Boy would do when his parents aren’t Home.

Put on his Moms Clothes…

I'm confused: they know a resident of the house is around (cos they deliberately decided Church time is a good time to break in) but if they know someone, anyone, is around, why don't they just wait for the resident to be home and knock on the door?!?!?!

The only justification for breaking and entering would be that no one is around for several days and they're on a deadline to recover their property. They knew the kid was around, why didn't they just knock on the door and ask him? Even if he was stubborn they could threaten to call the cops since it would be a case of recovering stolen property, that would scare a kid into compliance if you had to stretch the plot.

But then at the end they say the didn't realise the kid was home by himself, which means they were operating under the premise that some adults were around, and they still thought the best course of action was to break in and not knock on the door?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the hell? Talk about a forced plot!!!
