🎄 Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! 🎄 Check out my other Crazy Cool Comparison videos here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLY9KJ1cFVs7gMQ-gKIuedkPVSpTfGQB26

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ 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.

Remember when people hated home alone 3. Yeah. I miss home alone 3

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.

Great video. I almost wasted my time and watched this.

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 was literally horrified for the McKenzies… Like these poor people. I shouldn’t have felt that, but here we are.

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!!!

Damn, they just keep pouring from that same empty cup.

I can't imagine why they thought making the "villains" of this movie sympathetic, innocent, parents was a good idea.

Man I would really watch a Home Alone with Kevin as a grown up being left home alone, I think it can work.

My only favorite thing in this new movie is the idea that Kevin became rich by creating home security for homeowners. Solid idea.

I honestly really liked Home Alone 2. Yeah I know it's kinda the same thing as the first one but to be truthful I watch it more than the original.

I still can't get over that they cast asling bea, an Irish comedian with a thick Irish accent. And told her to do a posh English accent

2 and 3 are big contenders as my favorite. Because it’s not as widely discussed, I really like 3, not because it was new and didn’t strictly follow the McAllister arc, but because it had a funny and interesting story to tell that felt distinctly Home alone. You had a kid who was at odds with his neighbor who happened to look after him while recovering from Chicken pox. Pair that with workaholic parents and siblings who were at that teenage angst phase who lacked empathy, and you have a kid who had a lot to prove. Then you have the villains who were secret spies that were tasked with recovering a missile chip that would threaten American airspace. What made the whole thing mesh was the overall objective of who would end up in possession of said chip after it ended up in a toy car and getting swapped at the airport, prompting the spies to search every house. It might not be as popular, but 3 was indeed the last good Home Alone movie.

This movie makes The Fairly Odd movie with Drake Bell look like a masterpiece.

Again! A suburban family of a dozen people, even a rich one, going to japan for christmas is the weirdest choice. Its not a work or even a school holiday. And even if families do a gift thing at home when they are free, most of christmas outings for the holiday are couples on dates. Its not this vacation destination like in europe or the americas

My ranking of all the Home Alone movies so far (you know they're gonna make another one in the future lol): 6.Home Alone 4:What a piece of garbage, I don't even have to explain why (Hint:"Kevin" "Marv") 5.Home Sweet Home Alone:(Posted my review of it somewhere in the comments) (Pretty bad, not as bad as Home Alone 4, but PRETTY BAD..) 4.Home Alone 5:This was a really "MEH" movie, once again it has more burglars, had some fun scenes and the traps were alright, don't hate it or like it, just MEH to me.. 3.Highly underrated movie actually, not nearly as good as Home Alone and Home Alone 2, but I actually had fun watching it, I like how they tried it with new characters and more burglars breaking in and tried to make it different (kinda). 2.Home Alone 2:Really love this sequel! Sure it's kind of a copy and paste of the first Home Alone, but I still love watching it, I liked how this time they had Kevin in New York City! The traps are also really good! Solid Great Sequel! Definitely a classic! 1.Home Alone:Best movie in the franchise, will ALWAYS be the best movie in the franchise.Classic holiday movie! Nothing can top it off!

I feel like a movie about a married couple struggling at Christmas with Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney would've been enough. It didn't need to have anything to do with Home Alone. From what the film presented of just their interactions and how they felt about their difficulties, it was all engaging enough to be its own movie.

Filmmakers not all villains have to be understandable or sympathetic. What made the Wet Bandits work was that they were just bad guys robbing a house and all there is to it. Movies have been in the habit of doing this too much lately.

I'm damn tired of movies trying to humanize villains. Just let them be bad.

I enjoy Home Alone 1 because of the atmosphere, pacing and positive moral message. Home Alone 2 I really enjoy Harry because of how resilient he is dealing with the traps and the his screams are legendary. Harry's screams to me are like the quick silver scenes in the newer x-men movies, they are the maraschino on top.

I never noticed his ticket get covered in milk! Wow, that’s some attention to detail!

Cute that you think Disney won't simply cut out the scene with the kid wearing a dress for the Chinese release like they did with the lesbian kiss from Rise of Skywalker. So brave of them.

Yeah stealing toys from a charity is about as low as one can get.

This movie is the equivalent to writing an essay for school the day before it’s due and ending up making no sense…

worst part of the movie is the doll plot: clearly the british kid had to have hidden the doll at the start of the movie...but instead they push it off onto a character with 0 screen time. all you had to do was have the kid say "you were kind of a jerk to me so i hid it in the closet", apologize, movie over. instead they do the goofy cgi shit... i still liked this a touch more than 4 but god damn it's rough.

This kid was straight up trying to murder these people. I know he thought they were trying kidnap him but they tried to explain so many times and he wouldn’t listen. I mean he has the internet, he could have called the police or his relatives multiple different ways, the parents could have handled it a bunch of different ways too. The traps weren’t even funny, they just seemed painful to watch. At least Harry and Marv were immortal, I don’t know how these people survived 😂

Home Alone 4 makes Home Alone 3 look like a masterpiece and the reboot makes Home Alone 4 & 5 seem watchable

This shouldn't be called Home Alone! The studio is trying to appeal to nostalgia (and failing miserably) but they are also trying to be politically correct (sorta)! The original was good, because there wasn't a worry if those traps were too dangerous or anything and the main villains were comical but also truly threatening!

The biggest crime this movie commits is butchering angels with filthy souls. SHAME SHAME

I know the point this time was to make the bad guys be the good guys, could have been balanced out so much better, as seeing characters your cheering for getting beat up all the time is not fun. I get it that, that is what home alone is. I just think they could have made it clear that the kid wasn't ALL bad as we first thought which would have allowed us to sympathise with both sides, and maybe it could have poked fun at how silly some of those traps were, honestly one of the best scenes to me was when the mum was fighting back with the bin lid blocking the shots. It could have easily been switched up that the "bad" guys were actually quite smart and didn't fall for such silly traps, which I think would have been a better choice.

part of the problem is There Aren't antagonists in this one. in the original, its pretty clear Harry and marv don't mind hurting Kevin Which becomes outright kill after going through the house. another mistake this one makes is while Kevin lives it up at first he Does start to miss his family halfway in. Kevin is a brat But a more realistic child overall. we never see that in this one. If anything he's worse for taking the toy from the church toy drive another point is the mother character. in the original, she could only get back to Pennsylvania not Chicago and is hitchhiking with john candy to get back. so she's doing a Hell of a lot more to get home faster

We need a bank heist movie with Kevin as head of security!

Nothing beats the original and the second. I wish they never made this reboot, I loved Kevin and he was so iconic, but in this movie max is just a unloveable obnoxious kid.

Why they gotta ruin Christmas like this? It's not even December yet.

1 and 2 classics 3 was decent everything after that suck 🤷🏾‍♂️

I watched it and yeah it was so bad. I grew up with the original Home Alone since I was young, but this, this was so tough to get through. It was more bad than Home Alone 3, and while I haven't seen Home Alone 4 and 5, they can't be as bad as Home Sweet Home Alone. When the Home Alone remake greenlighted a couple of years, I was not excited and by golly that's what I got.

A lot of problems with these movies nowadays is how mean spirited they are its all about selfish unlikable people with no endearing qualities as opposed to characters who are flawed but are still charming and likeable.

Disney is dumping on all Classics, someone make them stop

There are only 2 Home alone's in existence

We all know the real reboot/adaptation of Home Alone that matters is Better Watch Out.

It was honestly really disappointing, the acting was mid, the home alone boy hero was not likeable, way too many slow many slow motion shots, the "thieves" weren't really thieves, everyone was WAY too forgiving, it wasn't really funny, very few laughs, it focused more on the "thieves" than the boy who was home alone..damn. 😕

If this is a connected universe how is it so common for kids to be left alone without their parents

You know it's bad when the movie itself states why people try to remake the classics

We don't need a 10 minute video explaining how bad this movie is when a 30 second advertisement did all that for us in the first place. There's only Home Alone and Home Alone 2. That's it. None of the other movies count

Bad is being stuck in traffic, bad is stubbing your toe, bad is your girlfriend being angry at you. This movie isn't bad its a damn dumpster fire and nobody deserves to watch this nightmare

I think the first two are the best. The rest is pretty much the same story, that get’s worse by every sequel/reboot. At the second movie, despite being the same story as the first, it was in a different location and had Tim Curry!

When you find out which companies and people are involved in the making, it really is no shock.

I was so disgusted when they started using the old John Williams music, its so disrespectful to use such amazing music from the first two amazing home alone films to elevate this trashfire, and also who the hell were we supposed to be rooting for and booing for, The kid in this film really was the villain cause they made the "badguys" so understandable and sympathetic, like when they were getting hurt you felt so bad for them, this film was just so confused

This is a movie that did not have to be made. You just can't remake classics.

I think they made the crooks more seen because they thought that the more lovable since Pam (Ellie Kemper who played in the office) is a lovable actress and they wanted to show the more lovable actors so that the audience might ignore the terrible plot and focus on the them instead, just my take on it

@6:00 I think I just got “Mandelaed”because I could swear that the name of the that fake movie was “Angels with Filthy Wings”!

Only good ones (in my opinion) are first ,second , third , fifth( its basically a remake of first two with little differences, it was pretty alright).

The one main difference only two movies are good the first and second and the rest are boring and meaningless like this one is

The trailer painted a pretty good picture of this disaster. I still agree with the kid when he said, “I don’t see why we have to share out house with every stupid relative we have” 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah the newest version was so awful! The reason behind the main character's motivations were just forced and convoluted. Also, Aisling Bea is Irish, not British. But yeah that kind of seemed weird to me too. This whole movie was a disaster and most of the acting was phoned in. Also, how did the neighbors not hear all the noise Pam and Jeff make? It's not like they were being quiet at all.

Imagine Max's mom coming home and seeing the house in disarray. What is he going to blame?

I remember Harry and Marv being likable characters too. But more in a sense that their reactions to situations were actually pretty funny

6:06/ 10:33 is that the Same Church from the first Home Alone movie from the 90s where Kevin was when he meant the old man he was afraid of?

The first home alone is everything 🙌 😍 😊.

I seen someone say that a good idea for a home alone movie would involve Kevin babysitting one of his brothers kids. And a couple of robbers try to steal from them, so Kevin teaches the kids how to build traps as they teach him about new age technology.

This movie is garbage but I did blow air out my nose at the “What a mcshame” line

Honestly, I don't know why they thought humanising the "villain" is a good move. I mean if they hid the couple's intention and then reveal the twist at the end, sure, it might work and I might even laugh at what they had to go through but since I know who they are and what their motivation are, its kinda painful to see what they went through and I can't help it but root for "the bad guys"

Whyyyyyy!!! Why did Pete Holmes have to agree to do this, dammit! i mean i guess now he's immortalized in a home alone movie that i can see his point of view how cool that looks 10 or 20 years from now or something, but this just looks sooo baaaad, and now i gotta watch it cuz my boi Pete Holmes is in it, he's fkin hilarious, love the guy, uuughhhh!

It is not a movie I can fairly judge. It was meant for younger eyes. The OG and New York were classics for me. TBH even home alone 3 paved the way downhill. This movie... was made for money and not from passion. It is a No for me.

Im gonna say it, i didnt hate this movie, it wasnt a chore to watch, i was entertained, though im not saying its great, its only ok, but its not terrible, it has issues, you care more about the villans then the "main protagonist", i feel like most people hate the re makes because their so attached to the original

I didn't know about the new version. But nothing beats the original

RIP John Candy & John Heard "the dad from the first 2 Home Alones"

No contest the original. It beats the “new one”by a mile in the 10 meter dash.

Erin as Pam? Nice!

I don't get why the kid in "Home Sweet Home Alone" was British either, yet lived in Chicago. If he was born in Great Britain, okay, but the filmmakers could have incorporated this kid not fitting in in America into the plot of the film.

This is 10 minutes of my life I will never get back, so many hugs and cookies to you for watching however many god forsaken minutes it took to see the full monstrosity of a movie so we didn't have to. You really do love us. Lol 💜😂

Home Alone 3 Will forever be my favorite.

Y’know what they should’ve done. They should’ve re-released the original home alone in cinemas for the thirtieth anniversary ( I know it’s the thirty first but because of COVID they couldn’t release it in cinema and you gotta release home alone during Christmas.) Far better than what we got and CHEAPER so I’m shocked Disney didn’t do it

When I read your title I immediately thought "everything"

Is that Erinn from the Office?

I cannot believe this is the actual Home Alone 3 without KEVIN.

5:42 the actress playing his mom is actually an Irish comedian

What an absolute joke of a movie, that "do you give you or are ya thirsty for more" in a british accent was so cringe and i'm british

The fact that the plot depends on the characters being stupid makes the movie even worse (as if that were possible).

Bruh, that Cena apology was amazing and I will forever be subscribed to you because of it.

I watched Home Sweet Home Alone and it wasn't that good. For me, the best thing about that movie was seeing Buzz McAllister. It's a small role but it was great that an original Home Alone character was there. Funny enough, I did like Home Alone 3 but the original ones can't be beat. I still prefer the first Home Alone though.

My ranking 1. Home alone 2. Home alone 2 3. Home alone 3 4. Home alone 5 5. Home alone 4 6. Home sweet home alone

If you’ve seen the movie, the park scene with the train has Steve Harvey as an emoji on the front of it.

This generation has gotten so lazy in comparison to the 90s when it comes to filmmaking

08:29 - I swear, if it wasnt mentioned that this is CGI I would have no clue. Same goes with the cold breath!

Mcallister vs mcfatso… well, duhhh 🙄

Usually

Im always excited to watch them get whipped by the traps but it might’ve been the worst traps sequence in the whole franchise, but the only one i liked was the fire, that one felt like a reference back to when harry was burned but on his head, not his feet

The first and only ONE, thank you!!!
