Being a huge fan of the original movie, I was worried this would be a disaster, but it was everything I had hoped it would be. The tone, visuals, and acting are all there. _Hocus Pocus 2_ is able to hold enough from the first movie to be recognizable, while adding enough new ideas to not just be a boring copy. Our new, young protagonists are delightful, and give the movie a theme of friendship, rather than family, that was the driving force in the 1993 movie. The Sanderson sisters are still amazing, and we even get to see them as kids - I don't know who found the young girls to play them, but they did a great job; seriously, I could have watched a movie just about them. There are loads of laughs here, a little bit of music, and at almost two hours, the movie just flies by. I will absolutely watch this every October - along with the first _Hocus Pocus_. Fans of the original are going to love this, and anyone new to our trio of witches can jump in and still enjoy.

It's so cool to see the Sanderson Sisters again! It's such a nostalgia trip. That being said, the movie is just okay. I really loved the beginning with the Sisters' origin story; I would've loved if it was longer. The present day teenagers were boring as hell though. Just like the joke in the movie, I forgot their names too. It's like every teenage lead now has to be intelligent, confident, witty, good looking, an outsider but in a cool way, and their only faults seem to be that they're so confident it causes conflict that they're always in the right about. I loved in the first film how the three teenage leads all had very different personalities, and were able to bounce off of each other well. The film was also missing any real scary moments. In the original, the Sisters seemed like a real threat. Here, they're never really intimidating, because the producers would never allow it.

Time sure flies by, we all grew up and so did Hocus Pocus. For all the good and bad it means, it really is updated to "modern standards". The sisters as kids were absolutely phenomenal, two thumbs up for the actors and whoever managed to find them, as perfect a fit as possible, I imagine. The "new t More

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Hocus Pocus 2’:

1. This was never gonna match the impact of the first one, but it was still a good outing! It successfully matched the vibes and feeling of the original, and celebrated it in all the right places. The music, the jokes, the easter eggs. Not an easy feat More

Hocus Wokus?

They took one of the best family friendly Halloween movies and injected a heavy dose of far left 2022 politics and took out most of the humor.

So, it pushes "THE MESSAGE" and doesn't little else except insult the fans and the original cast who would be problematic in today's pol More

Whilst this isn't really a patch on the first outing for the "Sanderson" sisters, it's still quite a decent sequel that manages to reassemble Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy for some evil witchery. This time around it is 16th birthday girl "Becca" (Whitney Peak) and her best frie More
